ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ---------------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No. 19260 OF 2011 ----------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 20th day of July, 2011 J U D G M E N T Grievance of the petitioners is that they are in possession of Revenue Puramboke land situated in Chinnackanal Village. It is stated that they have also made applications for assignment of one hectare each land and that these applications are pending. In the meanwhile they apprehend that they are likely to be evicted, this writ petition has been filed with a prayer to direct assignment of land as sought for by them. 2. When the case came up for admission it was posted for obtaining instructions from the Government Pleader and the learned Government Pleader on instructions submits that Ext.P8 representation made on behalf of the petitioners, has been forwarded to the District Collector, Idukki and it is pending consideration before the him. It is also stated that a decision on Ext.P8 will be taken soon. W.P.(C) No. 19260 OF 2011 :2 : 3. Pendency of Ext.P8 before the 4th respondent is thus confirmed by the Government Pleader and the matter is therefore under examination. In that view of the matter I dispose of the writ petition with a direction that the 4th respondent shall consider and pass appropriate orders on Ext.P8 and this shall be done as expeditiously as possible at any rate within eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The petitioner will produce a copy of this judgment along with a copy of the Writ Petition before the concerned authority for compliance. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE ul/-
