ANILKUMAR THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 20/02/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ------------------------------------ W.P.(C) 6001 of 2008 ------------------------------------- Dated: February 20, 2008 JUDGMENT The challenge is against Ext.P15, an order passed by the 2nd respondent, cancelling the patta granted to the petitioner under the Cardamom Rules of 1935 and ordering resumption of the land. In terms of Rule 38 of the Cardamom Rules itself, an appellate remedy is provided to the Land Revenue Commissioner. Since the statutory remedy of appeal is available as above. I do not think it proper for this court to examine the merits of the contentions at least at this stage. 2. Therefore I dispose of this writ petition directing the petitioner to pursue the statutory remedy of appeal to the Land Revenue Commissioner. It is directed that if the petitioner files an appeal within three weeks from today, the same will be entertained and the appeal will be considered on merits with notice to the WP(C) 6001/08 Page numbers petitioner and within six weeks orders will be passed by the Land Revenue Commissioner. I also direct that in the meanwhile all further proceedings pursuant to Ext.P15 will be kept in abeyance. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE mt/-
