SIRI JAGAN, J. --------------------------------- W.P.(C)NO. 23749 OF 2007 ---------------------------------- DATED THIS THE 6th DAY OF AUGUST, 2007 JUDGMENT The petitioners along with two others applied for permission under the Kerala Land Utilisation order to convert the nature of their land, in view of the fact that it can no longer be used for cultivation as the neighbouring properties have been converted into garden land as evidenced by Exts.P2 to P6. 2. In the above circumstance, the petitioners filed Ext.P10 application before the District Collector for permission under the kerala Land Utilisation order. The petitioners submit that in Ernakulam District the District Collector himself is the person, who issues orders under the Kerala Land Utilisation Order for the purpose of granting permission. The petitioners, therefore, seek expeditious disposal of Ext.P10 by the 1st respondent. 3. I have heard the learned Government pleader also. In the facts and circumstance of the case, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass appropriate orders on Ext.P10 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
