THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 11/06/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. SIRI JAGAN, J. ----------------------------------- W.P.(C)NO.17750 OF 2007 ------------------------------------- DATED THIS THE 11th DAY OF JUNE, 2007 JUDGMENT The petitioners challenge Ext.P1 notice. According to the petitioners, although Ext.P1 is only a show cause notice and the petitioners have filed Ext.P10 objections, at any time the respondents may evict the petitioners from the property. I cannot assume that the responsible officers like the respondents, who after issuing Ext.P1 show cause notice would act without compliance with the procedure prescribed under the Kerala Land Conservancy Act and Rules especially since it is incumbent on the respondents to pass a speaking order after affording the petitioners an opportunity of being heard and opportunity to adduce evidence. That being so, I am not inclined to entertain this writ petition at this juncture. Accordingly, the writ petition is closed. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE Acd
