THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 17/12/2010,THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: rs ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ------------------------- W.P (C) No.37501 of 2010 -------------------------- Dated this the 17th December, 2010 J U D G M E N T Petitioner submits that he owns a paddy land in Sy.No.331/2 and 331/4 of Velukkara village. It is stated that when the fair value was fixed, the land was treated as garden land and on that basis fair value was fixed. Aggrieved by such fixation of fair value, he filed Ext.P3 application to the Revenue Divisional Officer and that despite the reports submitted by respondents 2 and 3, application is not considered. It is with this grievance , the writ petition is filed. 2. In my view, if the petitioner is aggrieved by the fair value fixed, the remedy of the petitioner is to file an appeal before the District Collector in terms of Section 28 (A) (4) of the Stamp Act. 3. Therefore, leaving it open to the petitioner to pursue the appellate remedy as available, the writ petition is disposed of. Sd/- ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE ma /True copy/ P.A to Judge
