It is stated that shortly thereafter the petitioner's husband applied to the Village Officer to effect transfer of registry. While the said application was pending, when mutation was not effected, the petitioner's husband sent Ext.P2 letter dated 27.1.2009 to the Village Officer. The Village Officer thereupon sent Ext.P3 letter dated 19.2.2009 in reply stating that his application for transfer of registry has been received and is pending. The grievance voiced by the petitioner in this writ petition is that till date steps have not been taken on the application to effect mutation in the revenue records.

In this writ petition, the petitioner seeks a direction to the respondents to pass orders on the application filed by her husband for transfer of registry. The learned Government Pleader appearing for the respondents submits on instructions that the competent authority among the respondents will take up the application submitted by the petitioner's husband to effect mutation in the revenue records and take a decision thereon expeditiously. In the light of the said submission, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the competent authority among the respondents to pass orders on the application submitted by the petitioner's husband to effect mutation in the revenue records expeditiously and in any event within two months from the date on which the petitioner produces a certified copy of this judgment before the second respondent.
