STATE OF KERALA, REPRESENTED BY THE LAND REVENUE COMMISSIONER, THIRUVANANTHAPURAM. 2. DISTRICT COLLECTOR, KOLLAM. BY GOVT. PLEADER SHRI. R. BINDU THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 17/12/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: M.N.KRISHNAN, J ===================== W.P.(C) No.37304 OF 2007 ===================== Dated this the 17th day of December 2007 JUDGMENT This writ petition is filed for a direction to the Government of Kerala to deposit the amount covered in E.P.No.30 of 2003 in LAR No.162 of 1988 of the Addl.Sub Court, Kollam. The award is passed in the year 1995 and for almost 12 years the amount remains unpaid. Therefore, I direct the respondents to bestow their best attention and if possible, to deposit the amount at the earliest. I make it very clear that if deposits of earlier years have to be made and if deposits are to be made in cases of previous years just because a writ petition is filed this need not be given priority, but considering the fact that the claimant is knocking the door of the Government for years, maximum efforts should be taken to deposit the amount. It goes without saying that the actual amount due may be decided and deposited. Writ petition is disposed of accordingly. M.N.KRISHNAN, JUDGE Cdp/- -:2:-
