It appears to me that there is some genuineness in the above grievance. Ext.P3 has been submitted before then District Collector. Therefore, the District Collector is directed to consider Ext.P3 in the light of the grievance of the petitioner as sympathetically as is possible. The decision as directed above will be taken at the earliest, at any rate, within one month of receiving a copy of this judgment. If the petitioner wants to be heard, it is open to the petitioner to make a request and the same may be granted. (PIUS C.KURIAKOSE, JUDGE) ks. WP(C)N0. -2- WP(C)N0. -3-
