The land tax in respect of that property is not being accepted on the ground that the name of the owner in respect of the above land is mistakenly shown in the Revenue Records as Sunil Kumar, S/o.Lakshmikuttiyamma. The petitioner would submit that this mistake occurred during resurvey. In the above circumstances, the petitioner filed Ext.P4 petition before the 2nd respondent seeking correction of the resurvey records. The petitioner now seeks a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P4 expeditiously. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. 3. 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.P4 after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner and others who may be affected, w.p.c.16853/08 2 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
