BEJOY CHANDRAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 22/01/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI, J ------------------- W.P.(C).2571/2008 -------------------- Dated this the 22nd day of January, 2008 JUDGMENT Petitioner was an auction purchaser in a revenue auction conducted on 11.12.2006. Apparently it was set aside by the Revenue Divisional Officer by Ext.P4 order dated 3.12.2007. Petitioner submits that Ext.P4 order is illegal not only because it does not subscribe to Section 54 of the Revenue Recovery Act but also because the order passed was without notice to the auction purchaser. Petitioner filed Ext.P5 representation before the District Collector and also Ext.P6 revision before the fourth respndent. In the meanwhile property is now proposed to be sold again as evidenced by Ext.P7. 2. In the light of the fact that the petitioner has deposited the bid amount and the sale was apparently set aside without notice to the petitioner, I think it is a fit case where the Revisional Authority should consider Ext.P6 revision expeditiously. W.P.(C).2571/2008 2 3. In the result, writ petition is disposed of directing the fourth respondent to consider and pass appropriate orders on Ext.P6 revision within a period of four months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Further proceedings pursuant to Ext.P7 shall be kept in abeyance, pending orders by the fourth respondent on Ext.P6 revision. V.GIRI, Judge mrcs
