BY GOVT.PLEADER SRI.I.V.PRAMOD THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 29/02/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. =============== W.P.(C) NO. 7169 OF 2008 C ==================== Dated this the 29th day of February, 2008 J U D G M E N T Petitioners submit that the only access to their property is through the neighbouring plot of land, which has since been surrendered on account of the provisions contained in the Land Reforms Act. According to the petitioners, despite the surrender, they were enjoying the benefit of pathway through the property, but the land is proposed to be assigned to strangers. Counsel for the petitioners submit that if such assignment takes place, they will be deprived of the only access which they now have. In these circumstances, petitioners have filed Exts.P4 and P5 to preserve the pathway that is now available. According to the petitioners, orders have not been passed on Exts. P4 and P5 and therefore this writ petition. 2. Taking into account the facts as stated above by the learned counsel for the petitioners and without expressing WPC 7169/08 :2 : anything on the merits of the claim raised, I dispose of this writ petition directing that the respondent shall take up Exts.P4 and P5 and consider the same and pass orders thereon. This shall be done, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within four weeks of production of a copy of this judgment. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC,JUDGE. Rp
