It is seen that the Taluk Land Board has virtually set aside the order impugned in this revision by subsequent order No.A7-SR-204/73/KLM dt.25.02.03 as corrected by order No.A7- SR-204/73/KLM dt.02.07.03. In view of the above subsequent orders, the order impugned in this revision petition is set aside and the issues are to be reconsidered and fresh decision to be taken by the Taluk Land Board. It is needless to mention that the Taluk Land Board while taking fresh decision will have due regard to the impact of the amendments introduced to Land Reforms Act by Act 21 of 2006 particularly the newly inserted Section 7E and the amendments made to Section 84. The Civil Revision Petition is allowed. No costs. PIUS C. KURIAKOSE, JUDGE btt WPC 2
