J U D G M E N T Petitioner claims to be the absolute owner of possession of properties comprised in re-survey nos. 130/1, 2 & 7 of Ozhoor Village in Malappuram District. On allegations of unauthorised occupation of a portion in re-survey no 130/7, proceedings have been initiated against the petitioner for resumption of that part of the land belonging to the petitioner, is the grievance raised by the petitioner in this writ petition.

P4 expeditiously and to stay all further proceedings pursuant to Exts.P 3 and P5 till such disposal. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. 3. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I am of opinion that the 3rd respondent should consider and pass orders on Ext. P4 expeditiously. This the 3rd respondent shall do as expeditiously as possible at any rate, within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Till two weeks after the communication of the order on Ext. P4 to the petitioner, all further proceedings pursuant to Exts.P 3 and P5 shall be kept in abeyance. The petitioner and the Panchayat shall be afforded an opportunity of being heard before orders are passed on Ext. P4. The writ petition is disposed of as above. The petitioner shall forward a certified copy of this judgment W.P.C. No. 18061/2008 -: 2 :- along with a copy of the writ petition to the 3rd respondent for compliance. S. Siri Jagan, Judge. Tds/
