J U D G M E N T In these cases, according to the petitioners, Ext.P1 applications were made by them invoking the power of the 2nd respondent under the Kerala Land Utilization Order. However, the applications are declined to be considered by the 2nd respondent in view of Ext.P2, a direction issued by the Ist respondent intimating that in view of the pendency of the bill, the applications made under the Land Utilization Order shall not be considered. 2. In my view, so long as the Kerala Land Utilization Order stands as such without being modified, applications made by the petitioners are liable to be considered by the 2nd respondent, being the notified authority. W.P.(C) No13300/08 & conn. 2 In view of this, the writ petitions are disposed of directing that the 2nd respondent shall consider Ext.P1 applications in these cases irrespective of the issuance of Ext.P2. This shall be done as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within six weeks of production of a copy of this judgment. Petitioners shall produce a copy of this judgment along with a copy of these writ petitions before the 2nd respondent. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE Vi
