(Oral) The writ petition is filed with the following prayers: “(a). the respondent No.2 may be directed to decide the application vide Annexure P-5 within shortest possible time. (b). to quash and set-aside the order dated 08.01.2007 passed by respondent No.1 vide Annexure P-4. (c). to quash and set-aside the order of mutation of the property in favour of the respondent No.4 being non-agriculturist.” 2. In the nature of the order we propose to pass in this case, it is not necessary for us at this stage to go into the merits of the case. Since, according to the petitioner, in case a decision is taken on Annexure P-5, the entire disputes can be settled. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of directing the second respondent to take a final decision on Annexure P-5 in accordance with law after affording an opportunity for hearing to the petitioner and the fourth respondent, within a period of three months from the date of production of a copy of this judgment alongwith a copy of the 2 writ petition by the petitioner. The petitioner will also serve a copy of this judgment and a copy of the writ petition on the fourth respondent as well. 3. The writ petition stands disposed of, so also the pending application(s), if any. (Justice Kurian Joseph), Chief Justice. May 19, 2011. ( Justice V.K. Ahuja), (tilak/mlg) Judge.
