W.P.(C).19533/2009 ....................... Dated this the 14th day of June, 2009 JUDGMENT Petitioner claims right over 2.5 cents of land comprised in Survey No.61/16 of K.D.H. Village. According to the petitioner, the land is part of 10 cents of land, originally assigned in favour of the 4th respondent by the Kannan Devan Hills Produce Company Ltd., Munnar, and was therefore excluded from vesting, and the State Land Board passed Ext.P6 award on 29.3.1974. Petitioner claims to be an assignee in respect of 2.5 cents of land. Petitioner's claim is contained in Ext.P11 representation filed before the District Collector. This writ petition has been filed seeking appropriate directions in relation to Ext.P11. 2. I heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Government Pleader. I have perused Ext.P11 representation as well. 3. District Collector shall look into Ext.P11 and take appropriate decision thereon in the first instance. This W.P.(C).19533/09 2 shall be done within four months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Petitioner shall produce a copy of the writ petition also along with the copy of the judgment. Writ petition is disposed of as above. V.GIRI, Judge mrcs
