GOVT.PLEADER SRI.SANDESH RAJA THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 27/03/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ================ W.P.(C) NO. 9331 OF 2009 (J) ===================== Dated this the 27th day of March, 2009 J U D G M E N T The delay on the part of the 2nd respondent in considering Ext.P7, where the petitioner has sought NOC for transferring her property in Sy.No.337/11 and 953/1 of Agali Village in Palakkad District is what is complained of in this writ petition. According to the petitioner, Ext.P5 NOC was issued to her predecessor, but however the same was cancelled subsequent to the transfer of the property in her favour. Petitioner thereafter made Ext.P7 as she also wants to transfer the property. It is stated that following Ext.P7, Ext.P8 report has been made by the 3rd respondent and inspite of it, final order has not been passed. 2. Although the learned Government Pleader has justification for declining to pass order on Ext.P7 for NOC, still having regard to the fact that the petitioner is entitled to have an order on Ext.P7, I direct the 2nd respondent to pass orders on Ext.P7, so that if aggrieved, petitioner can seek her remedies. Orders as above, shall be passed, as expeditiously as possible, WPC 9331/09 :2 : at any rate within 4 weeks of production of a copy of this judgment along with a copy of this writ petition. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
