KURIAKOSE, J. ---------------------------------- W.P.(C) NO. 14072 of 2008 ---------------------------------- Dated this the 2nd day of May , 2008 JUDGMENT The Government Pleader takes notice on behalf of the respondents. 2. I do not propose to go into the various grounds raised in the writ petition. But since the petitioner has preferred Ext.P10 claim petition before the District Collector objecting to the seizure of rice and wheat from his premises, it is only appropriate that the District Collector takes an early decision on Ext.P10. I dispose of this writ petition directing the first respondent to consider Ext.P10 in the light of the various grounds raised in the writ petition and after hearing the petitioner and take a correct decision in accordance with law. Decision as directed above shall be taken at the District Collector's earliest and at any rate with two weeks of receiving a copy oft his judgment. Till such time as decision is taken and the petitioner is informed of the same, the rice and wheat seized from the petitioner's premises will not be distributed. PIUS C. KURIAKOSE JUDGE dpk
