BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER SRI. I.V. PRAMOD THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ALONG WITH W.P.(C)NO.16077 OF 2008 AND W.P.(C)NO.16114 OF 2008 ON 30/05/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------ W.P.(C)Nos.16069, 16077 & 16114 OF 2008 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 30th day of May, 2008 JUDGMENT In all these three writ petitions, the petitioners seek orders under the Kerala Land Utilisation Order. Their applications in this regard are not being considered, in view of the directions issued by the 1 st respondent to the effect that since a bill for amendment of the Kerala Land Utilisation is pending, no applications under the Kerala Land Utilisation Order shall be considered is the grievance of the petitioners. This Court has already held that when applications as provided under the Kerala Land Utilisation Order are filed, the same have to be considered in accordance with the law as obtaining presently. The consideration of the application cannot be postponed in anticipation of a law which is yet to be enacted. The petitioners submit that the respondents are not even accepting the applications. Accordingly, I dispose of these writ petitions directing the concerned RDO to accept applications to be filed by the W.P.(c)Nos.16069&Con.cases 2 petitioners and pass appropriate orders thereon in accordance with the provisions of the Kerala Land Utilisation Order as it obtains now, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of the application.
