Petitioner's grievance in this writ petition is that his application for mutation is not being considered by the 3rd respondent. The learned Government Pleader on instructions submits that, the mother of the vendor has filed O.S. No.382/2009 before the Munsiff's Court, Varkala in respect of the same property and therefore no orders can be passed on his application for mutation. 2. I am of opinion that whether favourable or unfavourable, a party is entitled to get an order on his application for mutation stating the reasons in respect thereof. In the above circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the 3rd respondent to pass final orders on the application for mutation submitted by the petitioner as expeditiously as possible, at any rate W.P.(C)No. 19527 of 2010 -2- within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, after affording an opportunity of being heard to all concerned.
