PLEADER SRI.P.NARAYANAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 29/07/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI,J. ------------------------- W.P ( C) No. 21262 of 2009 -------------------------- Dated this the 29th July,2009 J U D G M E N T Petitioner claims to be the title holder of a property comprised in Sy.No.s 27, 28, 29 and 30 (Part) of Edakochi Village under Thandaper Account No.5888. He has sought for a possession certificate in relation to the same as per Ext.P2 submitted before the Village Officer. It seems that the files are now pending before the 3rd respondent and that there is a direction not to issue any possession certificate even to the title holder. Petitioner had moved the District Collector as evidenced by Ext.P4. Orders have not been passed on Ext.P4 so far. Hence the writ petition. 2. The Village Officer shall look into Ext.P2 and take a decision independently and if on enquiry it is found that the title holder is in possession of the property, then a possession certificate shall be issued, within four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Writ petition is disposed of as above. (V.GIRI,JUDGE) ma 2 3
