THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 28/05/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ================================= W.P.(C).No.15954 of 2007 ================================== Dated this the 28th day of May, 2007 J U D G M E N T The petitioner challenges Ext.P2 order by which the patta issued to him under the Kerala Land Assignment Rules, has been cancelled. Since the impugned order is passed by the R.D.O., the petitioner has got a right of appeal before the third respondent. However, the learned counsel for the petitioner submits that since the third respondent himself is a member of the Task Force, which is reclaiming the properties belonging to the petitioner, he is not likely to get an impartial consideration of his appeal, even if he files one. In the above circumstances, I direct the petitioner to file a revision under Rule 21(8) of the Kerala Land Assignment Rules before the 2nd respondent within one week, in which event, the 2nd w.p.c.15954/07 2 respondent shall consider the same and pass appropriate orders thereon. The 2nd respondent shall also consider and pass orders on the stay petition, if the petitioner files one. Writ petition is disposed of as above.
