It is submitted that Ext.P4 is pending consideration of the 1st respondent and that orders thereon have not been passed. If as a matter of fact, Ext.P4 has been received and is pending with the 1st respondent, I see no justification for denying that relief. 2. Accordingly, I dispose of this writ petition directing that the 1st respondent shall consider and pass orders on Ext.P4, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. In the meanwhile, the statusquo as on date in so far as 1.33 acres of land comprised in Survey No.4/3 in Edappatta Village, Perinthalmanna Taluk shall be maintained. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE. Rp
