JUDGMENT The petitioner claims that she resides in a shed bearing No.XIV/166 of the Cherthala Municipality. The property, having an extent of 10 cents covered by Ext.P1 sale deed, was purchased by the parents of the husband of the petitioner. The petitioner claims a right over the property as the legal heir of one of the sons of the vendees under Ext.P1 and apparently there are other persons, who claim a right over the property as well. It seems that proceedings have been initiated against one of the brothers of the husband of the first petitioner for recovery of amounts allegedly due in M.C.No.21/99 of the Family Court, Ernakulam. This has resulted in proceedings under the Revenue Recovery Act against the property as such. According to the petitioner, proceedings against the entire property as also the movables kept in the building wherein the petitioner, the widow, resides with two daughters is not justified, legal W.P.(C).NO.6491/08 :: 2 :: or proper. The objections are pending before the 1st respondent. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 1st respondent to look into the objections and conduct a due enquiry into them, with notice to the defaulter also and pass a reasoned order, if the objections are not found acceptable by the 1st respondent. Enforcement of the proceedings under the Revenue Recovery Act insofar as the petitioner is concerned shall be subject to the decision to be taken as aforementioned.
