TO JUDGE S.S.SATHEESACHANDRAN, J. ------------------------------- W.P.(C).NO.30359 OF 2007 () ----------------------------------- Dated this the 18th day of March, 2010 J U D G M E N T The writ petition has been filed challenging Ext.P3 order passed by the Revenue Divisional Officer, Kozhikode against the petitioner under the provisions of the Kerala Land Conservancy Act. At the time of hearing, it has been submitted that a statutory revision filed by the petitioner against Ext.P3 order is now under consideration before the 3rd respondent. The writ petition was filed at a stage soon after passing of Ext.P3 order apprehending eviction of the petitioner from the properties stated to be under his possession, under the provisions of the Kerala Land Conservancy Act. I find the propriety and correctness of Ext.P3 order cannot be gone into by this Court in exercise of the writ jurisdiction. A stay granted in the writ petition, it is submitted, restraining the respondents from executing Ext.P3 order, is now in force. The learned counsel for WPC.30359/07 2 the petitioner urged for continuance of stay till his revision is disposed of. Such extension cannot be granted by this Court when the proceedings are taken under the Kerala Land Conservancy Act, but, there will be a direction to the 3rd respondent to dispose the revision, if any, filed by the petitioner against Ext.P3 order, as expeditiously as possible. Stay granted by this Court shall continue for a period of three months from the date of this judgment. Writ petition is disposed accordingly. S.S.SATHEESACHANDRAN JUDGE prp WPC.30359/07 3
