SANTHOSH THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 07/03/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. -------------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) NO.6996 OF 2011(Y) -------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 7th day of March, 2011 J U D G M E N T According to the petitioner a property having an extent 2.03 acres of land comprised in Sy. No.1314 of Pallivasal Village was in the possession of his mother, who had obtained Kuthakapattom right over the land. Mother expired on 11.7.1992. It is stated that the 6th respondent is the younger sister of the petitioner and going by the submissions made the Kuthakapattom right has been assigned in her favour sometimes in 2002. It is stated that since Kuthakapattom right is heritable, all the legal heirs of the deceased are entitled to get it assigned. Petitioner submits that since the grant of Kuthakapattom in favour of the 6th respondent is illegal, he has made Ext.P8 representation to the first respondent on 7.2.2011 requesting to cancel the same. In this writ petition petitioner seeks a direction for consideration of Ext.P8. 2. First of all, even going by the submissions made the Kuthakapattom right was granted in favour fo the 6th respondent way back in 2002. If that be so, Ext.P8 made on 7.2.2011 is highly belated and therefore this court will not be justified in granting any directions at this distance of time. Writ Petition fails and is dismissed.
