He is aggrieved by the alleged oral direction by the first respondent to the petitioner not to construct a building thereon, apparently on the ground that the same would be in violation of the Kerala Land Utilisation Order. The petitioner submits that surrounding properties of the petitioner and his property are dry lands and no useful purpose would be served by keeping the petitioner's land alone as vacant and that the petitioner does not have any other property for constructing a house to live in. In the above circumstances, the petitioner has filed Ext.P2 representation before the second respondent and he seeks a direction to the second respondent to consider and pass appropriate orders on Ext.P2. 2. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner as also the learned Government Pleader. WP(C) NO. 18344 of 2007 :-2-: 3. In the facts and circumstances of the case, there would be a direction to the second respondent to consider and pass appropriate orders on Ext.P2 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Till such time, status quo as on today shall be maintained. The writ petition is disposed of as above. S.
