I.V.PREMOD THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 03/09/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J ================== W.P(C)No.23114 of 2008 ================== Dated this the 3rd day of September, 2008. J U D G M E N T The petitioner approached the 1st respondent for post facto permission to convert wet land into dry land in accordance with provisions of the Kerala Land Utilization Order. The petitioner's contention is that the petitioner purchased filled up land and the situation arose only because as per revenue records the land is included as wet land which he came to know of only after purchase. For this purpose, the petitioner has filed Ext.P5 application. The petitioner seeks disposal of Ext.P5 application 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 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P5, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner. It would be open to the petitioner to rely on any material in support of his claim. The petitioner shall forward a copy of the writ petition W.P(C)No.23114 of 2008 - 2 - along with a certified copy of this judgment to the 1st respondent for compliance. S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE rhs
