Siri Jagan, J. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= W.P(C) No. 16661 of 2010 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 19th day of July, 2010. J U D G M E N T The petitioners have filed this writ petition seeking a direction to the District Collector to consider and pass orders on Ext. P6 appeal filed by the petitioner. The learned Government Pleader pointed out that since the District Registrar has exercised powers of the District Collector to pass the impugned order, the petitioners' appeal before the District Collector cannot be entertained and that the petitioners have to file the appeal before the appropriate authority as provided under the Kerala Stamp Act. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners have already approached the District Collector for return of the appeal and impugned order so that they can file a proper appeal before the appropriate authority. They, therefore, seek permission to withdraw this writ petition without prejudice to the right of the petitioners to file a proper appeal before the proper appellate authority and pursue the same. Permission is granted and the writ petition is dismissed with the above liberty. Sd/- S. Siri Jagan, Judge. Tds/ [TRUE COPY] P.S TO JUDGE.
