No.37161/2009-M ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dated this the 8th day of February, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioner herein is aggrieved by the delay in disposal of Ext.P3 revision petition filed before the Government. The petitioner claims to be in possession of a total extent of 1.58 acres of property in Re-survey Nos.361/2AC1, 361/2A2C2 and 361/2B in Panayal Village. He sought for assignment of the said property in his favour. But, only an extent of 1.15 acres of property was assigned to him and the balance extent of 43 cents was assigned to one Smt.Narayani as per proceedings in L.A.No.48/1971. Even though the petitioner challenged the same before the Revenue Divisional Officer, that appeal was dismissed as per Ext.P1. The revision petition filed before the Board of Revenue was also dismissed as per Ext.P2. Challenging the same, the petitioner had filed Ext.P3 revision petition before the Government. In the stay petition, Ext.P4 interim order was passed. It is the case of the petitioner that so far no final orders have been passed in the matter. It is averred in the writ petition that revision petition was heard on 18/09/1998. 2. In that view of the matter, there will be a direction to the respondent to take a decision on Ext.P3 W.P.(C). No.37161/2009 -:2:- revision petition after hearing the petitioner and Smt.Narayani, if no final orders have been passed pursuant to the hearing conducted on 18/09/1998. If, actually, the revision petition was disposed of at that point of time, a copy of the order will be communicated to the petitioner. If orders have not been passed at that point of time, the matter will have to be re-heard with notice to petitioner and Smt.Narayani who is the respondent in Ext.P3. Appropriate action will be taken within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this Judgment. The petitioner will produce a copy of the writ petition along with a copy of the Judgment before the respondent for compliance. The writ petition is disposed of as above. No costs. (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) ms
