Petitioners, herein are filed applications under Section 85(8) of the Kerala Land Reforms Act, which are pending consideration before the Taluk Land Board, Ponnani. Learned counsel would submit that those averments are not considered still and if the order in S.M.2/84 is implemented it will substantially affect their right and therefore a direction has to be given to the Land Board to dispose of 85 (8) applications and meanwhile not to disturb the possession of the petitioners herein. There is considerable force in the said contention. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of and the Taluk Land Board, Ponnani is directed to dispose of the applications filed by the present petitioners under Section 85(8) of the KLR Act and till then not to disturb their possession with respect to the property claimed by them in those WP(C) 36055/2007 -:2:- applications.
