KRISHNAN, J. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = W.P.C. NO. 35224 OF 2007 = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 29th day of November, 2007. J U D G M E N T This writ petition is filed by the B party in SM 135/07 of Land Tribunal, Cherthala. The case is one relating to issuance of certificate of purchase under Section 72 of the Kerala Land Reforms Act. An authorized officer was appointed. He had submitted a report. Thereafter, though the alleged cultivating tenant did not enter appearance and adduced evidence the Land Tribunal has called for a report from the Village Officer and has received a report. A copy application was made as Ext.P3. But it is not being issued. When a report is called for, for the purpose of disposal of the case, it is imperative that the parties are entitled to know about the contents of the report and therefore in order to enable them to understand the contents of the report a certified copy has to be issued. Therefore, I direct the Land Tribunal, Cherthala to issue a copy of the report submitted W.P.C 35224 OF 2007 -:2:- by the Village Officer in SM 135/07 within a period of one month from today and further the Tribunal is directed to proceed with the case only after the issuance of the copy. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly. M.N. KRISHNAN, JUDGE. ul/-
