TO JUDGE pac S.SIRI JAGAN, J = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = W.P.(C).No. 10603 OF 2008 = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 4th day of June, 2008. J U D G M E N T Against Ext.P7 order passed by the Land Revenue Commissioner under the Kerala Land Utilisation Order, the petitioner has filed Ext.P8 revision application along with Ext.P9 stay petition before the 1st respondent. The additional respondent who has impleaded himself in the writ petition submits that because of the stay order passed in this case he is personally affected. Whatever that be I am of opinion that the 1st respondent should consider Ext.P8 expeditiously. Accordingly, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P8 as expeditiously as possible at any rate within three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The 1st respondent shall also pass orders on Ext.P9 stay petition within two weeks from the date when the petitioner moves the petition. Before passing orders on the revision application, petitioner as well as the additional 4th respondent shall be afforded an opportunity of being heard. Till orders are passed on the stay petition, the interim stay granted by this Court shall be in force. S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE bkn/-
