PRAMOD THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 05/10/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: Kss ANTONY DOMINIC,J. ------------------------- W.P ( C) No. 28319 of 2007 -------------------------- Dated this the 5th October, 2007 J U D G M E N T The only prayer now pressed before me is for an order to direct the 1st respondent to pass orders on Exhibit-P2. Exhibit-P2 is an application made by the petitioners for permission under the provisions of the Kerala Land Utilisation Order. Petitioners also make reference to Exhibit-P1 report of the Village Officer which he says, supports his plea that the land was never utilised for growing food crops. Whatever be the merits of his case, I do not think it necessary to examine the same. Now that Exhibit- P2 is pending before the 1st respondent it is necessary that the 1st respondent shall take a decision thereon. 2. Accordingly, I dispose of this writ petition directing the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Exhibit-P2, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Before final orders are passed, petitioners shall be given a notice and an opportunity of hearing. Petitioners shall produce a copy of this judgment before the 1st respondent, for compliance.
