JUDGMENT Petitioner submits that he and his brother own building No.KP-II/44 of Kaduthuruthy Grama Panchayat situated in Survey No.994/10-2 of Kduthuruthy village. The building in question is used for the office of the 4th respondent. According to the petitioner, seeking revision of rent payable he has made Ext.P4 proposal, enclosing Exts.P5 to P8. Orders have not been passed on Ext.P4 so far. It is with that grievance the writ Petition is filed. 2. As already noticed the claim of the petitioner is for revision of rent that is payable. Though Ext.P4 application accompanied by Exts.P5 to P8 are made to the 4th respondent, the 4th respondent can not independently decide on the same and according to the Government Pleader the matter has ultimately to be decided by the 2nd WP(c).No.6375/09 /2/ respondent. 3. I view of the above, I direct that on the production of a copy of the judgment the 4th respondent shall consider Ext.P4 along with the documents produced by the petitioner and with his recommendations place the matter before the 2nd respondent and thereafter the 2nd respondent shall consider and pass orders on Ext.P4. Writ Petition is disposed of as above. Petitioner shall produce a copy of the judgment before the 4th respondent for compliance. (ANTONY DOMINIC) JUDGE vi/ WP(c).No.6375/09 /2/
