(C) No. 2654 OF 2008 - N = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 21st day of February, 2008 J U D G M E N T Petitioner submits that an extent of 0.0404 hectares of land in Sy. No. 444/2 of Ollukkara Village was originally notified for acquisition but was later excluded. However, during the course of the survey the aforesaid property belonging to the petitioner was erroneously included in Sy. No.442/3 of the same Village and is now shown in the revenue records as puramboke land. It is stated by the petitioner that he made Ext.P12 request to the 1st respondent for correcting the aforesaid mistake in survey number and that the above request is pending consideration of the said authority. In this writ petition, what is presently sought for by the petitioner is a direction to the 1st respondent to consider Ext.P12 and take such action as is appropriate to redress his grievance and at the same time not to take possession of the property in the meanwhile. 2. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Govt. Pleader I feel that the petitioner is entitled to be W.P.(C) No. 2654 OF 2008 - 2 - granted the relief sought for. 3. Accordingly, I dispose of this writ petition itself directing that the 1st respondent shall take up and consider Ext. P12 and pass appropriate orders with notice to the petitioner. This shall be done as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within 6 weeks of production of a copy of this judgment. It is also ordered that until decision is taken on Ext. P12, the status quo as on date in respect of the property shall be maintained by the respondents. Petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment before the 1st respondent for compliance.
