The petitioner has submitted Ext.P11 representation when it was known that revenue recovery proceedings have been initiated against him, before the Block Development Officer. I dispose of the writ petition directing the second respondent to consider Ext.P11 in the light of various grounds raised in the writ petition and to dispose of the same in accordance with law at the earliest and at any rate within two months of receiving a copy of this judgment. If the petitioner is desirous of a hearing opportunity by the 2nd respondent, he is permitted to make a request in that regard, in which case the same will be granted. Considering the above direction, coercive action against the petitioner pursuant to Exts. P8 and P9 will stand stayed till such time as decision is taken on Ext.P11. PIUS.C.KURIAKOSE JUDGE sv.
