RESPONDENTS' EXHIBITS : NIL /TRUE COPY/ P.A TO JUDGE AV S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ================== W.P.(C).No. 30751 of 2011 ================== Dated this the 18th day of November, 2011 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is a wife of a defaulter of Government dues. The defaulter executed Exts.P1 and P2 settlement deeds in respect of the petitioner and her daughter. Now, for recovery of the amounts due from the husband, the properties covered by Exts.P1 and P2 are proceeded against, which, according to the Revenue authorities, stand in the name of the husband, which, of course, is disputed by the petitioner. Revenue recovery proceedings are in progress. The petitioner has filed Ext.P12 petition before the 3rd respondent in respect of the same. The petitioner seeks a direction to the 3rd respondent to consider and pass orders on the same expeditiously. Having heard the learned Government Pleader also, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 3rd respondent-District Collector to consider and pass orders on Ext.P12, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within three weeks from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner.
