ORDER This revision petition will have to be allowed on a very short ground. In the ceiling proceedings against the petitioner, he was required to surrender 24.50 acres of land. Those lands were situated in different survey numbers. One of them was in Sy.No.11/1A of Kolathur Village and the extent of property is 6.40 acres. But when that property was sought to be taken possession of, the petitioner wanted to exercise re- option. It seems that there was an order of this court in S.A. No.44 of 1999 directing the authorities to take possession of the lands at the earliest. However, the petitioner approached this court in O.P. No.31715 of 2000 and prayed for exercise of re-option. This court disposed of the writ petition directing the respondents to consider the representation filed by the petitioner. CRP. 1885/2001. 2 2. Initially the stand taken by the Taluk Land Board was that the land now offered for surrender was not a suitable one. But the petitioner has produced communication No.RF.J1 – 33941/76 from the Taluk Office, Kasaragod dated 26.11.2001 by the Tahsildar, Kasaragod to the Chairman, Taluk Land Board, Kasaragod pointing out that the land now offered by the revision petitioner is found to be a suitable one and can be taken possession of. It needs to be noticed here that the land, which has already taken possession of has not been distributed. In the result, this revision is allowed, the impugned order is set aside and the Taluk Land Board is directed to dispose of the matter in accordance with law and in the light of the direction issued by this Court.
