To Judge ANTONY DOMINIC, J ............................................. W.P.(C).21232/2011 .............................................. Dated this the 19th day of August, 2011 JUDGMENT 1.According to the petitioner, she acquired certain immovable property by Ext.P1 sale deed from which it is evident that the property is situated in Survey No.678/5 of Mulanthuruthy Village. It is stated that consequent on the completion of the resurvey, the property was assigned R.S.No.422/10 in Block No.23, and this position continued till 7.6.2011, when the petitioner came to know that without any notice or hearing or for any valid reason, the re-survey number was changed to R.S.421/10. Thereupon, she submitted Ext.P3 representation to the Revenue Divisional Officer; but the RDO also has not taken any action for correcting the aforesaid change. It is with this grievance, seeking appropriate directions to get the Re-survey number corrected, the present writ petition has been filed. 2.In my view, in the nature of the allegations raised, it is the duty of the RDO to conduct an enquiry and to remedy the grievance of the petitioner, if it is otherwise legitimate. W.P.(C).21232/11 2 3.Therefore, I dispose of this writ petition directing that on the production of a copy of this judgment, the RDO before whom the complaint filed by the petitioner is pending, shall consider the same, with notice to the petitioner and other affected parties, and final decision in the matter shall be taken within four weeks thereafter. It is made clear that this Court has not expressed anything on the merits of the contentions and it is entirely for the RDO to decide the issue. ANTONY DOMINIC, Judge mrcs
