Pleader also. 2. The petitioner's building having No.17/550 of Kuthuparamba Municipality, was rented out to the first respondent for functioning the office of the Land Tribunal, Kuthuparamba. According to the petitioner, the building was vacated on 31.8.2004 but the rent for the period from 28.3.1999 to 31.8.2004 has not been paid for want of sanction for the enhanced rent from the first respondent. Ext.P1 is a letter dated 28.12.2004 sent by the 4th respondent to the second respondent District Collector for getting sanction of the Government and for disbursing the amount. The petitioner submits that the District Collector has forwarded the same to the Land Revenue Commissioner, Thiruvananthapuram, as evidenced by Ext.P2. 2. Since payment is delayed for want of sanction by the first respondent, it is for the first respondent to take a decision in the matter and sanction disbursal of the due amount to the petitioner. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to respondents 1 and 2 to take a Wpc 14558/07 -2- decision as reported in Exts.P1 and P2, in accordance with law, within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The petitioner shall forward a copy of the writ petition along with a copy of the judgment to the first respondent for appropriate action as directed above. (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) kav/
