BY GP SRI.P.NARAYANAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 07/07/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI, J ------------------- W.P.(C).18440/2009 -------------------- Dated this the 7th day of July, 2009 JUDGMENT Petitioner is aggrieved by Exts.P1 and P2 proceedings by which the purchase certificate has been issued in favour of respondents 1 to 3, under the provisions of the Kerala Service Inam Lands (Vesting and Enfranchisement) Rules, 1981. Under Exts.P1 and P2, an extent of land mentioned therein, has been directed to be assigned in favour of respondents 1 to 3. The Act provides for a right of revision against the proceedings of the original authority. This has been invoked by the petitioner by filing Ext.P3 Revision before the 5th respondent. If there is a time frame within which the Revision can be filed namely two years from the date on which the impugned order is communicated, the question as to whether the revision has been filed within the said time frame, is a matter that also has to be considered by the 5th respondent. 2. Accordingly, writ petition is disposed of directing the 5th respondent to consider Ext.P3, after notice to the W.P.(C).18440/09 2 petitioner as also respondents 1 to 3 and pass orders in accordance with law, within four months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. It is made clear that notice shall be issued to respondents 1 to 3 and they shall be heard by the 5th respondent before passing orders on Ext.P3. 5th respondent shall also consider whether the Revision could be entertained by him on merits and whether it is within the time limit prescribed under the statute.
