I approve Ext.P1, however, I modify the conditions imposed by the lower appellate court for allowing IA No.933 of 2003 by reducing the cost amount to Rs.2,500/- payable in equal shares of Rs.1,250/- each to the TLSC Nedumangad and to the contesting defendants. Payment of the total amount as modified above will be made by the petitioner within one month from today, failing which, the IA and the Writ Petition will stand dismissed. PIUS C. KURIAKOSE, JUDGE btt WPC 2
