BY GOVT. PLEADER SHRI.I.V.PRAMOD THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 1.9.2008 THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ================== W.P.(C).No.26361 of 2008 ================== Dated this the 1st day of September, 2008 J U D G M E N T Proceedings under the Kerala Land Conservancy Act have been initiated against the petitioner on the ground that certain properties occupied by the petitioner are Government land. She has been further directed to demolish a portion of the building in that property. Ext.P4 is the order passed by the Sub Collector in this regard. Against Ext.P4 order, the petitioner has filed Ext.P5 revision petition along with Ext.P6 petition for stay before the Commissioner of Land Revenue. The petitioner's grievance is that while the revision petition and stay petition are pending, by Ext.P7 intimation, coercive proceedings are being initiated for demolition of the petitioner's building. The petitioner submits that it is unjust to initiate proceedings while Ext.P5 revision petition and Ext.P6 stay petition are pending. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. 3. I am of opinion that before initiating coercive proceedings pursuant to Ext.P4, the 1st respondent should pass w.p.c.26361/08 2 orders on Ext.P6 stay petition filed by the petitioner along with Ext.P5 revision petition. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P6 stay petition as expeditiously as possible. Till orders are thus passed, further proceedings pursuant to Ext.P4 shall be kept in abeyance. Sd/- sdk+ S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE ///True copy/// .
