Subsequently, the 4th respondent informed petitioner’s wife some time in November 2008, their land is involved in a ceiling case before the second respondent. In view of the claims so raised by the 4th respondent, petitioner submits that he has filed Exhibit P4 application before the second respondent, under Section 85(5) of the Land Reforms Act, claiming the benefit of Section 7E of the Land Reforms Act introduced by Act 21 of 2006. In this writ petition, what the petitioner seeks is a direction to the second respondent to pass orders on Exhibit P4. Taking into account limited nature of relief sought for by the petitioner, I dispose of this writ petition, without expressing anything on the merits of the claims. I also direct the second respondent to consider and pass orders on Exhibit P4 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within eight weeks of production of copy of this judgment.
