MR.NARAYANAN, GOVERNMENT PLEADER THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 03/09/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ------------------------- W.P.(C.) No.27326 of 2010 (M) --------------------------------- Dated, this the 3rd day of September, 2010 J U D G M E N T Petitioner submits that by Ext.P8 order dated 18/08/2009 passed under the provisions of the Kerala Land Conservancy Act, 1957, proceedings were ordered against the petitioner for eviction from the alleged encroachment. His appeal against Ext.P8 order was rejected by the 2nd respondent as per Ext.P9 order dated 21/07/2010. Aggrieved by the said order, the petitioner submitted Ext.P10 revision to the 1st respondent and the said revision is pending. In this writ petition what is sought for by the petitioner is a direction for an expeditious disposal of Ext.P10 revision. 2. Admittedly, the revision is filed under the provisions of the Kerala Land Conservancy Act, and therefore is statutory in nature. The revisional authority is bound to dispose of such revisions on an expeditious basis. 3. Therefore, I direct the 1st respondent to dispose of Ext.P10 revision with notice to all concerned and as expeditiously as WP(C) No.27326/2010 -2- possible, at any rate, within six weeks of production of a copy of this judgment along with a copy of this writ petition. It is directed that in the meanwhile, status quo as on date shall be maintained. The petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment along with a copy of this writ petition before respondents 1 & 3 for compliance. This writ petition is disposed of as above. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) jg
