SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.32784 of 2011 ---------------------------------------------- Dated this the 15th day of December, 2011 JUDGMENT This writ petition is filed challenging revenue recovery proceedings initiated by the Kerala Civil Supplies Corporation for differential price of wheat supplied by the Corporation to the petitioner. According to the petitioner, he had paid full costs at the time of purchase of the wheat in accordance with the contract between the parties and therefore, he is not liable to pay any differential costs. The petitioner has now filed a representation, Ext.P6 before the Managing Director of the Kerala State Civil Supplies Corporation. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. 3. I am of opinion that in the first instance the issue should engage the attention of the Managing Director. Accordingly this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the Managing Director of the Kerala State Civil Supplies Corporation to consider and pass orders on Ext.P6, as W.P.(C)No.32784/11 2 expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Till orders are passed on Ext.P6, coercive recovery proceedings shall be kept in abeyance. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE acd W.P.(C)No.32784/11 3
