JUDGMENT The petitioner is mainly seeking for a direction to the first respondent to take a decision on Exts.P7 and P9 applications for correction of mistake in the Basic Tax Register and other Revenue records regarding the nature of the land belonging to the petitioners. 2. The petitioners are in possession of 19.83 ares of land comprised in various survey numbers in Block No.28 of Vadakkumbhagam Village. Now part of the property is sought to be acquired for the purpose of Angamaly – Sabhari Railway Track. The property covered by the acquisition is 3.13 ares in resurvey 361/14-20A in Block No.18 of the said village. 3. The problem faced by the petitioners is that in the Basic Tax Register the property is described as Nilam, whereas in the other revenue records it is described as purayidam. Therefore, the description of the property as Nilam in the BTR may affect the petitioners in getting the full compensation. It is in these circumstances, the petitioners have filed Exts.P7 and P9 representations before the first respondent for appropriate wpc 8244/2010 2 action. 4. There will be a direction to the first respondent to take a decision on Exts.P7 and P9 after hearing the petitioners and after verifying the Revenue records. Appropriate action will be taken in the matter within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The writ petition is disposed of as above. No costs. (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) kav/
