The said request was rejected by the Additional Tahsildar, Nedumangad. The petitioner thereupon filed Ext.P2 appeal before the Revenue Divisional Officer, Thiruvanathapuram.

In the light of the said submission and having regard to the fact that more than one year has been passed after Ext.P2 appeal was filed, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the Revenue Divisional Officer, Thiruvananthapuram to consider Ext.P2 appeal and pass orders thereon, after notice to and affording the petitioner and the W.P(C) No.29595 of 2009-T 2 second respondent, a reasonable opportunity of being heard.
