THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 17/03/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: PIUS.C.KURIAKOSE, J. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - W.P.(c).No.508 OF 2008 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 17th day of March, 2008 JUDGMENT There is no appearance for the first respondent at whose behest Ext.P4 revenue recovery proceedings have been initiated against the petitioner in this writ petition wherein the petitioner challenges Ext.P4. Relying on Ext.P3, the petitioner contends that initiation of revenue recovery proceedings as per Ext.P4 is absolutely unwarranted. Considering the merit noticed prima facie in the case urged by the petitioner, I am inclined to stay all proceedings pursuant to Ext.P4 for a period of four months. The petitioner will file a representation before the Panchayat producing Ext.P3 and seek withdrawal of Ext.P4 proceedings. If it is revealed that Ext.P4 proceedings are in respect of the very same liability covered by Ext.P3, the Panchayat will consider that representation favourably. PIUS.C.KURIAKOSE JUDGE sv.
