To Judge ANTONY DOMINIC, J ................................. W.P.(C).18123/2011 .................................. Dated this the 5th day of July, 2011 JUDGMENT 1.The grievance of the petitioner is that while she was engaged in the work of constructing a bund, Ext.P1 stop memo alleging that the said activity was in violation of the provisions of the Kerala Conservation of Paddy Land and Wet Land Act, (Act 28 of 2008), was issued. It is stated that on receipt of stop memo, petitioner has filed Ext.P2 objection before the District Collector objecting to Ext.P1. Orders have not been passed in the matter and therefore the writ petition has been filed seeking a direction to the second respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P2. 2.A reading of Ext.P1 shows that the allegation is one of violation of the provisions of Act 28 of 2008. The competent authority under the said Act being the second respondent, in view of the pendency of Ext.P2, I direct the second respondent to consider Ext.P2 representation filed by the petitioner objecting to Ext.P1, and pass orders thereon, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, W.P.(C).18123/11 2 within 'four weeks' of production of a copy of this judgment long with the copy of the writ petition. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC, Judge mrcs
