RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J. --------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.5012 OF 2010 --------------------------------------- Dated this the 25th day of February, 2010. J U D G M E N T The petitioner is the owner and in possession of 1.80 Ares of landed property situated in Resurvey No.175/11 of Puthenkurishu village in Kunnathunadu Taluk. The said property was wrongly recorded as Puramboke land in the Basic Tax Register and therefore, the petitioner cannot obtain building permit to construct a compound wall in the property. But, in the co-relation land records, the position is correctly given. 2. Exhibit P5 is the application submitted by the petitioner to the 2nd respondent dated 11.12.2009, which was numbered as SA 1592/09, for correcting the mistakes crept in the resurvey records. The petitioner has filed this writ petition seeking for a direction to the 2nd respondent to dispose of the application within a time frame. 3. Learned Government Pleader on instructions submitted that a notice was issued to the petitioner to appear on a W.P.(C) No.5012/2010 2 particular day, but nobody appeared before him and produced any records. Therefore, the Surveyor has submitted a report and the Head Surveyor had informed that the application could not be disposed of. 4. It is clear from the above submissions that no final orders have been passed on Exhibit P5. The petitioner will be offered a hearing in the matter by the 2nd respondent on a convenient date and the petitioner will have to appear before him without fail. The petitioner will appear before the 2nd respondent within a period of two weeks from today and a convenient date will be fixed for production of records and for a personal hearing thereafter. The application will be finally disposed of within a period of two months. This writ petition is disposed of as above. T.R. RAMACHANDRAN NAIR JUDGE smp
