R1 TO R5 BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER SRI.P.N.SANTHOSH THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 02/02/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: sts ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ------------------------- W.P (C) No.3407 of 2011 -------------------------- Dated this the 2nd February, 2011 J U D G M E N T Ext.P6 is an order passed by the District Collector exercising his powers under Act 28 of 2008 and directed that property shall be restored as paddy land. Aggrieved by the said order, the petitioner has filed Ext.P7, a revision before the 1st respondent. Orders have not been passed on the revision and in the meantime apprehending coercive action based on Ext.P6, the writ petition is filed. 2. Now that Ext.P7 statutory revision is pending before the 1st respondent, coercive action, if any, based on Ext.P6 will be premature. In that view of the matter, I dispose of this writ petition with the following directions: (i) On production of a copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition, the 1st respondent shall dispose of Ext.P7 revision filed by the petitioner after issuing notice to him and affording him an opportunity of hearing. This shall be done, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within three weeks of production of a copy of this judgment. W.P (C) No. 3407 of 2011 2 (ii) It is directed that until orders are passed on Ext.P7, coercive action pursuant to Ext.P6 shall not be initiated. Petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition before respondents 1 and 3 for compliance. Sd/- ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE ma /True copy/ P.A to Judge
