The property adjacent to the petitioners' property belongs to the Corporation of Cochin. There was some disputes between the petitioners and the Corporation of Cochin regarding the boundary between the two properties. Petitioners approached the 2nd respondent for measuring the properties and fixation of boundaries. Properties were measured. But the 2nd respondent did not place any boundary marks consequent to the measurement, as a result of which, the disputes continue. In the above circumstances, the petitioners have filed Ext.P11 petition before the 2nd respondent. Petitioners seek a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P11 as expeditiously as possible. W.P.(C)No.19323 of 2010 -2- 2.

In the facts and circumstances of the case, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P11 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioners as well as the Corporation of Cochin.
