TO JUDGE vk ANTONY DOMINIC, J ....................................................... W.P.(C).30118/2011 .............................................. Dated this the 11th day of November, 2011 JUDGMENT Petitioner is the owner of a property covered by Exts.P1 and P2 title deeds. He has now been issued Ext.P9 show cause notice calling upon him to show cause why Ext.P3 patta concerning his property shall not be cancelled in terms of the provisions of the Kerala Land Assignment Act and Rules. To this show cause notice, petitioner has already filed Exts.P10 and P11 objections. It is at that stage the writ petition has been filed challenging the show cause notice and for restraining the respondents from proceeding with the matter. 2. Perusal of Ext.P9 show cause notice does not give any impression that the same is want of jurisdiction. In such a case, this Court will not be justified in interfering with the proceedings at this stage. Therefore, I decline the prayer to quash Ext.P9. Now that the petitioner has already filed Exts.P10 and P11 objections, I direct the first respondent to afford the petitioner an opportunity of hearing as and when the matter is considered and pass orders in the matter and communicate the same to the petitioner. W.P.(C).30118/11 2 3. Petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition before the first respondent for compliance. Writ petition is disposed of as above.
