I.V. PRAMOD. THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 26/08/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------ W.P.(C)No.24078 OF 2008 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 26th day of August, 2008 JUDGMENT The petitioner's grievance in this writ petition is that although in W.P.(C) No.38070/2007, the Revenue Divisional Officer had been directed to consider the representation submitted by the petitioner after hearing the petitioner, Ext.P1 order was passed without hearing the petitioner. The petitioner, therefore, presently seeks a direction to the 1st respondent- RDO to pass final orders in the matter, after hearing the petitioner also. 2. Sri. Sheejo Chacko appears on behalf of the 4th respondent and submits that while passing Ext.P1 order, the petitioner has also been heard. This is disputed by the petitioner. I am not going into that controversy in so far as the petitioner himself submits that the RDO has posted the matter for further hearing on 11.9.2008. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the 1st respondent - RDO to pass final orders pursuant to the hearing to be conducted on 11.9.2008, after hearing the W.P.(c)No.24078/08 2 petitioner as well as the 4th respondent as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Till then, further proceedings pursuant to Ext.P1 shall be kept in abeyance. However, I hasten to add that I have not considered any contentions of any party on merits and it is open to the 1st respondent to consider every aspect of the case independently. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE Acd W.P.(c)No.24078/08 3
