Dated this the 11th day of April, 2024
JUDGMENT
Aggrieved by the fixation of the fair value under Section 28A of the Kerala Stamp Act, 1959, petitioners have preferred Exts.P1 and P2 appeals, which is stated to be pending consideration before the 1st respondent. Petitioners seek for an expeditious disposal of the same.
3. Heard the learned Government Pleader also. After hearing both sides, I am inclined to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the 1st respondent to take up Exts.P1 and P2 statutory appeals pending before the 1st respondent and dispose of the same in accordance with law, at the earliest, at any rate, within an outer limit of 3 months from the date of receipt of a copy of the judgment, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioners.
