JUDGMENT This writ petition is filed seeking to quash Ext.P5 order. It reminds of the principle that the order shall be brief but not blank. The learned Subordinate Judge, in application for remitting the commissioner's plan and report had disposed of the application - 'dismissed'. It is rudimentary that there must be application of mind and it must also appear from the order that application of mind has been done while disposing of the matter. Unfortunately it is absent in this case and therefore, the only course left open to this Court is to direct the learned Munsiff, Peermade to restore the application I.A.33/07 and after affording an opportunity to both sides, dispose of it in accordance with law. Before hearing the matter learned Munsiff shall give notice to the plaintiff as well. Writ petition is disposed of accordingly. M.N.KRISHNAN Judge jj
