THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 21/12/2010,THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: rs ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ================ W.P.(C) NO. 37908 OF 2010 ===================== Dated this the 21st day of December, 2010 J U D G M E N T The challenge in the writ petition is against Ext.P5, an order passed by the 1st respondent in an appeal that was filed by the petitioner under Rule 5 of the Kerala Stamp (Fixation of Fair Value of Land) Rules, 1995. A reading of the order shows that no reason whatsoever has been assigned by the 1st respondent for rejecting the appeal. That apart, according to the petitioner survey number mentioned is also erroneous. 2. Be that as it may, having regard to the fact that the order reflects total non application of mind, I set aside Ext.P5 and direct the 1st respondent to reconsider Ext.P4 appeal with notice to the first petitioner and pass orders thereon. This shall be done at any rate within 6 weeks of production of a copy of this judgment along with a copy of this writ petition. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
