TO JUDGE ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ================ W.P.(C) NO. 24337 OF 2008 (V) ===================== Dated this the 30th day of March, 2009 J U D G M E N T The prayer sought in this writ petition is for a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P7, an application made by the petitioners for issue of patta certificate. This claim is made pursuant to Exts.P3 and P4, in which according to the petitioners, orders have already been passed for assignment of the land on registry to the petitioner's deceased father. It is also their case that by Ext.P4, his father was paying tax in respect of the land following Ext.P3 order. However, as he expired before the issue of patta certificate, petitioners have pursued the matter by filing Ext.P7. 2. Taking into account the complaint of the petitioners that orders have not been passed on Ext.P7, in view of the above facts as highlighted by them, I direct the 1st respondent to pass orders on Ext.P7. This shall be done, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within 8 weeks of production of a copy of this judgment. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
