J U D G M E N T The petitioner has stated certain claims in relation to certain items of properties on the ground that they are not vested forest lands. This has been specifically raised in Ext.P6 addressed to the Custodian of Vested Forests. Once the custodian of vested forest replies to Ext.P6 and if any further dispute arises in relation to the extents of land claiming by Ext.P6, it is appropriate that the petitioner to move the Forest Tribunal. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Government Pleader(Forest), this writ petition is disposed of directing the 1st respondent to take up Ext.P6 and issue a decision thereon within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
