To Judge ANTONY DOMINIC, J ....................................................... W.P.(C).18828/2011 .............................................. Dated this the 12th day of July, 2011 JUDGMENT Petitioners claim that they are in possession of 8.5 acres of land situated in Survey No.313/1 of Chinnakanal Village. They sought assignment of land which resulted in Exts.P8 and P9 orders passed by the sixth respondent rejecting their applications. The orders were challenged before the appellate authority, the third respondent, who also rejected the appeal as per Ext.P10 order. Aggrieved by Ext.P10, petitioners filed Exts.P11 and P12 Revisions. Though the Revision is to be filed before the second respondent, first petitioner filed Ext.P11 Revision before the first respondent and the second petitioner filed Ext.P12 Revision before the fourth respondent. It is complaining that during the pendency of the above Revisions, they are attempting to vacate from the land, the writ petition is filed. 2. Irrespective of whether the Revisions have been filed before the respondents 1 or 2, in view of the provisions contained in Munnar Special Tribunal Act, the Revisions are to be considered W.P.(C).18828/11 2 by the said Tribunal. Therefore, respondents 1 and 2 before whom Exts.P11 and P12 are now pending, should transfer the said Revisions to the Tribunal and it is for the Tribunal to consider the matter in accordance with law. 3. Therefore, I dispose of this writ petition directing that on production of a copy of this judgment, respondents 1 and 2 shall transfer Exts.P11 and P12 Revisions to the Tribunal constituted under the Munnar Special Tribunal Act (Act 13 of 2010) and the said Tribunal shall dispose of the Revisions in accordance with law. It is directed that until the aforesaid process is completed, status quo as on date, shall be maintained. Petitioners shall produce a copy of this judgment along with the copy of the writ petition before respondents 1, 2 and 3 for compliance. ANTONY DOMINIC, Judge mrcs
