Later, notices were issued to the 1st petitioner as per Ext.P4. Petitioners submit that petitioners have filed Ext.P5 objection to the same. Petitioners' grievance is that the Taluk Land Board has not passed final orders pursuant to Exts. P4 and P5. Petitioners further submit that in respect of the notice issued to his sister in the writ petition filed by her was disposed of by this court by Ext.P9 judgment, directing the respondents to forbear from proceedings against the property of their sister referred to in that writ petition, until final orders are passed by the Taluk Land Board, Kottarakkara as directed in Ext.P3 judgment which was in an earlier O.P. filed by her . The petitioners' grievance is that no orders have been passed pursuant to Ext.P3 judgment also. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. W.P.(C).No. 30917 OF 2003 2 In the facts and circumstances of the case, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the Taluk Land Board to complete all proceedings in respect of the ceiling case of Late.
