PLEADER SHRI.I.V.PRAMOD THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 20/06/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ================== W.P.(C).No.16475 of 2008 ================== Dated this the 20th day of June, 2008 J U D G M E N T The petitioner claims to be in possession of certain properties in respect of which the petitioner sought permission under the Kerala Land Utilization Order for conversion from wet land to dry land. Originally before the RDO, the petitioner lost, which was taken in appeal before the Board of Revenue and, as per Ext.P5, the Board of Revenue remanded the matter to the RDO for fresh consideration. That was as early as on 29.1.1994. By Ext.P6 dated 11.4.1994, the RDO proposed to conduct a local inspection. Thereafter, in spite of Exts.P7 and P8 representations filed by the petitioner, nothing has transpired. The petitioner, therefore, seeks a direction to the respondent to complete the proceedings as directed in Ext.P5 expeditiously. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. 3. Now that more than 14 years have elapsed since Ext.P5, it is only appropriate that the respondent takes the matter to its logical conclusion in accordance with the Kerala Land w.p.c.16475/08 2 Utilization Order expeditiously. This, the respondent shall do within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The petitioner shall produce a copy of the writ petition along with a certified copy of this judgment before the respondent for compliance. The writ petition is disposed of as above.
