I.V. PRAMOD THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 10/06/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------ W.P.(C)No.17169 OF 2008 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 10th day of June, 2008 JUDGMENT The petitioner claims to be the owner in possession of 60 cents of land in Survey No.515 of Mulavukad Village. It was originally 68 cents out of which 8 cents were acquired for construction of the Vallarpadam – Panambukad road. The road was constructed through the middle of the petitioner’s property cutting the property in to two and as a result, the two halves of the property fell on either side of the road and the same were allotted Survey Nos.515/1. 515/2. Originally the road was to be constructed through the property numbered as Survey No.515/2 only. But allegedly by a mistake the construction of the road happened to be through the land in both Survey Nos.515/1 and 515/2, as a result of which the road was constructed through a portion of land in Sy.No.515/1 also, leaving a portion of the land in Survey No.515/2 with the petitioner. The same has now been recorded as puramboke in the survey records. The petitioner W.P.(c)No.17169/08 2 seeks correction of the survey records in respect of that land for which the petitioner has filed Ext.P2 representation before the 1st respondent. The petitioner seeks disposal of Ext.P2 expeditiously. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P2, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner. The petitioner shall forward a certified copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition to the 1st respondent for compliance. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE Acd W.P.(c)No.17169/08 3
