SIRI JAGAN, J. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - W.P.(C)No.1168 of 2010 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 15th day of July, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioner purchased an extent of 1 hectare 47 ares and 40 sq.mtrs of land, as per Ext.P1 assignment deed dated 03.03.2008, which is registered with the SRO Ottasekharamangalam as document No.297/2008. Petitioner's grievance in this writ petition is that mutation applied for in respect of that property has not been granted by the 3rd respondent, on the ground that the KFC has charge over the property. According to the petitioner, the KFC has already released the property from the mortgage. A contention was also raised to the effect that the Government dues are pending in respect of that property. In the above circumstances, I directed the Government Pleader to get instructions as to what are the Government dues mentioned in Ext.P8 communication from the RDO to the petitioner. Today the learned Government Pleader W.P.(C)No.1168 of 2010 -2- submits that there are no Government dues in respect of property and the dues are only in respect of the KFC. The Standing Counsel for the KFC submits that, the entire dues in respect of that property has been discharged and the KFC has released the property from the charge. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that liability on account of O.S. No.247/2008 has also been discharged. Therefore I am satisfied that the 3rd respondent is liable to effect mutation of the properties in favour of the petitioner. Accordingly this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the 3rd respondent to effect mutation of the properties in favour of the petitioner as expeditiously as possible at any rate within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
