TO JUDGE Rp ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ================ W.P.(C) NO. 33789 OF 2011 ===================== Dated this the 16th day of December, 2011 J U D G M E N T Aggrieved by Exts.P5(a) to (d) orders issued under the provisions of the Kerala Land Conservancy Act, 1957, petitioners filed appeals, which resulted in Ext.P7 order of the District Collector. Though this order was partially in their favour, aggrieved to the extent the order was against them, they filed Ext.P8 revision. This revision is pending before the 5th respondent. In this writ petition, what is sought for is an expeditious disposal of Ext.P8 revision. 2. Having regard to the fact that Ext.P8 revision, being statutory in nature, is filed under Section 17 of the Land Conservancy Act, I dispose of this writ petition directing the 5th respondent to pass orders on Ext.P8 with notice to the parties concerned and at any rate within 6 weeks of production of a copy of this judgment. It is directed that, in the meanwhile, further action based on Exts.P5 (a) to (d) shall be kept in abeyance. WPC No.33789/11 :2 : Petitioners shall produce a copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition before respondents 1 and 5 for compliance.
