BEJOY CHANDRAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 07/11/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: K. M. JOSEPH, J. -------------------------------------- W.P.C. NO. 32836 OF 2008 H -------------------------------------- Dated this the 7th November, 2008 JUDGMENT Petitioner challenges Ext.P3 and seeks a direction to consider Ext.P3 on merits, which the learned counsel for petitioner submits that this is a mistake and it should be read as Ext.P2. Ext.P3 is an order passed by the third respondent RDO, rejecting the Appeal as barred by limitation. According to petitioner, Ext.P2 Appeal came to be filed on 2.8.2006. Apparently the Appeal was filed against the order dated 7.12.2004 passed by the first respondent Tahsildar. The maximum period during which the delay can be condoned is six months. Apparently, that is the reason why the Appeal came to be dismissed. Therefore, there is no illegality as such with Ext.P3. I find that Ext.P3 is in the year 2006. The Writ Petition is filed on 6.11.2008. Then, Shri P. Kuruvilla Jacob, learned counsel for petitioner would contend that as against Ext.P6 notice, in terms of the Judgment of this Court in Mohammad WPC.32836/08 H 2 Sadik v. Tahsildar (2006 (3) KLT 271) the petitioner has a remedy. The Writ Petition is dismissed. But, I make it clear that this will not stand in the way of the petitioner availing any remedy she may have against Ext.P6. Sd/= K. M. JOSEPH, JUDGE kbk. // True Copy // PS to Judge
