BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER SRI I.V.PRAMOD THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 04/04/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ------------------------------------ W.P.(C) 11679 of 2008 ------------------------------------- Dated: APRIL 4, 2008 JUDGMENT The challenge in this writ petition is against Ext.P8 series of orders passed by the 1st respondent under the provisions of the Kerala Land Conservancy Act. 2. By Ext.P8, the petitioners have been described as encroachers and they have been asked to vacate the land in question within 48 hours. Ext.P8 obviously is an order appealable to the RDO and that valuable right of appeal cannot be denied to the petitioners. 3. In view of this, I direct that Ext.P8 orders shall be kept in abeyance for a period of 30 days, within which period it will be open to the petitioners to file their appeals and seek appropriate reliefs from the appellate authority. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Issue copy today itself. mt/-
