GOVT.PLEADER SRI.P.N.SANTHOSH THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 10/02/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ============== W.P.(C) NO. 3709 OF 2009 (N) ==================== Dated this the 10th day of February, 2009 J U D G M E N T Petitioner claims to have purchased the property covered by Ext.P1. Thereupon he made applications under the Transfer of Registry Rules for effecting transfers in the revenue records. That has not been done and finally the petitioner submitted Ext.P2 complaint before the Additional District Magistrate. As is evident from the endorsement on Ext.P2 dated 31/12/2008 that it was forwarded to the 3rd respondent for necessary action. 2. Making reference to the endorsement dated 2/1/2009 made by the 3rd respondent, counsel for the petitioner submits that the 3rd respondent has forwarded the matter to the 5th respondent, with a direction to effect mutation, if eligible as per rules. Petitioner now submits that with the report of the 5th respondent, the mater is now pending before the 4th respondent and that the 4th respondent has not passed orders on the applications or on Ext.P2. It is with this complaint the writ petition is filed. 3. If as stated by the petitioner, he has made an application for transfer of registry, necessarily the competent authority has to consider WPC 3709/09 :2 : the application and pass orders thereon. Since it is the complaint of the petitioner that the matter is pending before the 4th respondent and that the 4th respondent has not passed orders on the request made, I direct the 4th respondent to pass orders on Ext.P2 for effecting mutation. If necessary, the 4th respondent shall also issue notice to the 6th respondent, transferor of the petitioner's property. Orders shall be passed, as above, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within 8 weeks of production of a copy of this judgment. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
