GOVT.PLEADER SRI.P.N.SANTHOSH THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 19/03/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ================ W.P.(C) NO. 8845 OF 2009 (A) ===================== Dated this the 19th day of March, 2009 J U D G M E N T Petitioners claim ownership over 6.75 cents of land covered by Exts.P1 to P3 documents. According to the petitioners, soon after the property was purchased, they applied for effecting mutation in their favour, acceptance of tax and also for measurement of the property. It is stated that there was no response on the part of the 3rd respondent and therefore they filed Ext.P5 before the 1st respondent. Ext.P5 was forwarded by the 1st respondent to the 2nd respondent, who in turn called for a report from the 3rd respondent. Petitioner submits that on enquiry with the 3rd respondent, it was informed that the report was submitted to the 2nd respondent. Still there was no progress on the application made and therefore petitioner moved the 2nd respondent by filing Ext.P7. Even to Ext.P7, there was no response and it is in these circumstances, the writ petition has been filed. 2. If as stated by the petitioner, property has been purchased by them, final orders on their application for effecting WPC 8845/09 :2 : mutation, acceptance of tax and for measurement has to be passed. 3. Now that according to the petitioners, the proceedings are now pending before the 2nd respondent before whom Ext.P7 representation has been made, I direct the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P7. This shall be done, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within 8 weeks of production of a copy of this judgment. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
