I.V. PRAMOD THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 20/02/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J ----------------------------------------------------------------- W.P.(C).NO.5681/2008 ----------------------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 20th day of February, 2008 JUDGMENT Ext.P4 order of the first respondent has lead the petitioner to file this writ petition. According to the petitioner, a reading of Ext.P4 would indicate that an absolute prohibition has been imposed by the 1st respondent on granting permission in terms of the provisions contained under the Kerala Land Utilisation Order. In my view, Ext.P4 cannot be taken as one imposing a blanket prohibition on granting permission contemplated under the Kerala Land Utilisation order. On the other hand, even in spite of Ext.P4, the authorities are free to consider the applications received on its merit and in accordance with the provisions of the Kerala Land Utilisation Order. With this clarification the Writ Petition is disposed of. ANTONY DOMINIC vi JUDGE
