They are aggrieved by the attempt of respondents 4 and 5 to fill up their paddy lands by resort to proceedings under the Kerala Land Utilisation Order. The petitioner submits that if respondents 4 and 5 fill up their paddy lands, the same would prejudicially affect the paddy cultivation in nearby paddy lands.

The petitioner seeks a direction to the 1st respondent to hear the petitioner also before orders are passed on the applications stated to have been submitted by respondents 4 and 5. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. In the nature of the order I propose to pass I do not think it necessary to issue notice to respondents 4 and 5 at this juncture. W.P.(c)No.28334/08 2 In the facts and circumstances of the case, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 2nd respondent to issue notice and hear the petitioner also before passing orders on the applications filed by respondents 4 and 5 under the Kerala Land Utilisation Order.
