Dated this the 6th June , 2011 J U D G M E N T The petitioner has approached this court with the following prayers: “i. issue a writ of mandamus or such other writ or direction directing the respondents to return the land to the petitioner covered in Ext.P1 within such time that this Hon'ble Court may deem fit to grant in the facts and circumstances of the case. ii) issue writ of mandamus or such other writ or direction directing the respondents 3 and 4 to return the property to the petitioner. iii) issue any other writ that this Hon'ble High Court may deem fit to grant in the facts and circumstances of the case. “ 2. The learned Counsel for the petitioner submits that the grievance projected in the writ petition has already been sought to be considered by filing Ext.P3 representation dated 20.05.2011 before the third respondent (produced along with W.P.(C) No. 27157 OF 2010 2 I.A.No.8334 OF 2011) which is stated as pending consideration before the third respondent. It is stated that the petitioner would be satisfied if a direction is given to the said respondent to have it considered and finalised within a reasonable time. In view of the limited nature of the relief sought for, this Court does not find it necessary to go into the merits of t he case. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of, directing the third respondent to consider and finalise Ext. P3, of course after giving an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within three months from the date of receipt of a copy of the judgment. The petitioner shall produce a copy of the judgment along with a copy of the writ petition and I.A.No.8334 of 2011 before the third respondent for taking further steps. P.R. RAMACHANDRA MENON, JUDGE. lk
