TO JUDGE svs/ ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ``````````````````````````````````````````````````````` W.P.(C) No. 6790 of 2010 W ``````````````````````````````````````````````````````` Dated this the 29th day of November, 2010 J U D G M E N T Petitioners are sisters. According to them, the first petitioner acquired 85 cents of land by sale deed No.5/1977 of Sub Registry Office, Ernakulam and that the second petitioner acquired 2 acres of land by sale deed No.4/1977 of SRO, Ernakulam. Counsel for the petitioners submits that out of the 2 acres acquired by the second petitioner, 1 acre was sold to the third petitioner by sale deed Nos.4201/96 and 4424/96 of SRO, Ernakulam. 2. It is stated that, subsequently, they obtained Exts.P2 to P4 purchase certificates in respect of the aforesaid properties. Later, they made applications for mutation of the properties. Their complaint in this writ petition is that orders have not been passed by the respondents on the applications made by them. 3. Reason stated by the first respondent in the W.P.(C) No.6790/10 : 2 : counter affidavit filed is that a portion of the property, in respect of which application has been made, is the subject matter of RFA.No.710/2009, which is stated to be pending before this Court. However, learned counsel for the petitioners reiterated before me that the subject matter of the RFA is an adjacent property and that the aforesaid properties are not involved in any litigation. 4. If as stated by the petitioners, there is no dispute about the property, in respect of which applications have been made, there is no reason why orders shall not be passed by the respondents on the applications made by them under the Transfer of Registry Rules. 5. Therefore, taking note of the submissions made by the counsel for the petitioners as noticed above, this writ petition will stand disposed of, directing the respondents to pass orders on the applications made by the petitioners, under the Transfer of Registry Rules, provided the lands which are the subject matter of the applications are not W.P.(C) No.6790/10 : 3 : involved in the RFA noticed above. Orders shall be passed, at any rate, within six weeks from the date of production of a copy of this judgment. Sd/- (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) aks // True Copy // P.A. To Judge
