SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------ W.P.(C) No.9815 OF 2010 ------------------------------- Dated this the 24th day of JUNE, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioner was in possession of certain properties. In respect of that property, SM 58/79 was initiated by the first respondent. In those proceedings, the first respondent directed the declarant, the second respondent herein, to surrender 3.41 acres of land, which according to the petitioner does not belong to the declarant at all. The declarant is the son of the brother of the father of the petitioner. In a partition, by partition deed No.1899/95 of Manarkkad Sub Registrar’s Office, the said property was allotted to the petitioner and his brothers, is the contention raised by the petitioner. In the above circumstances, the petitioner has filed Ext.P4 petition before the first respondent under Section 85(8) of the Kerala Land Reforms Act. The petitioner seeks a direction to the first respondent to pass orders on Ext.P4 expeditiously. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. In W.P.(C)No.9815/10 2 view of the circumstances, it is only appropriate that the first respondent passes orders on Ext.P4 expeditiously. In the above circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the first respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P4, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner and all other concerned, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Till orders are thus passed the interim order passed by this Court in this writ petition in respect of the petitioner’s property would continue to be in force. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE acd W.P.(C)No.9815/10 3 W.P.(C)No.9815/10 4
