THIS CIVIL REVISION PETITION HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 09/04/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: CRP1263/2000 -2- C.M.P.2588/2000 IN CRP 1263/2000 ......... DISMISSED. 9.4.2007. Sd/- M.N. Krishnan, Judge. M.N.KRISHNAN, J. ------------------------------------------- C.R.P.No.1263 OF 2000 ---------------------------------------------- Dt. APRIL 9, 2007 ORDER This revision is preferred against the order in C.C.No.848/1973. The Taluk Land Board directed the declarant to surrender 5.67 acres of land out of which he had already surrendered 1 acre and 96 cents of land. The Land Board by its order dt. 31.3.2000 directed him to surrender 3.71 acres of land. The grievance of the revision petitioner is that he has not been given an opportunity to file an option. It is the only matter that survives for determination. It is seen that he has been directed to surrender single crop land as well as double crop land and in the interest of justice an opportunity has to be given to him to file an option and the Land Board is directed to consider it after hearing him. Therefore, the C.R.P. is disposed of directing the Taluk Land Board to grant an opportunity to the revision petitioner to file an option. The Land Board shall here the revision petitioner and dispose of the matter in accordance with law. To the said extent the impugned order is interfered with. M.N.KRISHNAN (JUDGE) mt/-
