SMT.SUDHA DEVI THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 19/06/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ================== W.P.(C).No.9343 of 2008 ================== Dated this the 19th day of June, 2008 J U D G M E N T The petitioner in this writ petition is aggrieved by the orders of the District Collector, whereby her property is proposed to be taken over as excess land under the Kerala Land Reforms Act, pursuant to the orders of the Taluk Land Board under the ceiling provisions under the Act in respect of the properties of one Meenakshi Amma. The petitioner has already filed Exts.P4 and P5 petitions in the matter before the District Collector and the Tahsildar. But I am of opinion that the remedy of the petitioner lies in filing an appropriate petition before the Taluk Land Board as provided in the Kerala Land Reforms Act. Therefore, without prejudice to the right of the petitioner to file appropriate application before the Taluk Land Board, this writ petition is closed. To enable the petitioner to approach the Taluk Land Board and obtain orders, the interim stay granted by this Court shall be maintained for a period of two more months.
