In the course of hearing of this appeal it is brought to our notice that respondent No.1, the District Collector, Kottayam has passed final orders in the matter. The apprehension of the learned counsel is that the impugned judgment may stand in his way and will take away his right to impugn the final order passed by the District Collector. 2. We see no reason why such an apprehension can be entertained. It is made clear that it will be open to the appellants/petitioners to impugn the order passed by the District Collector, Kottayam, if they are so advised, in accordance with law. The Writ Appeal is disposed of with that liberty reserved in favour of the appellants. S.R. Bannurmath, Chief Justice. A.K. Basheer, Judge. ttb WA No. -:2:-
