THIS REVIEW PETITION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON
23.11.2021, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING:
RP NO. 777 OF 2021
3
O R D E R
The petitioner in this review petition
seeks that judgment of this Court, dated
09.09.2021, be modified to the extent to which
it directs respondents 1 and 2 to take up
Exts.P3 and P4 applications of the petitioner
and to dispose of the same, but only after
measuring the entire property covered by
Ext.P1. The petitioner say that unless the
entire property is measured and demarcated, no
purpose will be served by the exercise as
ordered by this Court.
2. Sri.Joseph Sebastian Purayidam -
learned counsel appearing for the writ
petitioner, submitted that though he does not
stand in the way of the afore request made by
the review petitioner, he leaves to this Court
to take a final decision on the said issue. RP NO. 777 OF 2021
3. However, Sri.Mathew John - learned
counsel appearing for the 5th respondent (shown
incorrectly as the 6th writ respondent in the
writ petition), submitted that the afore
request of the review petitioner is untenable
because the measurement of the entire property
covered by Ext.P1 is unnecessary; and in any
event, without purpose.
4. When I consider the afore submissions,
it is without doubt that this Court has only
directed respondents 1 and 2 to take up Exts.P3
and P4 applications and dispose of the same in
terms of law. This can only mean that they are
obligated to do so as per the requirements and
parameters of law, following the statutory
provisions; and if the review petitioner
requests them to undertake the exercise as has
been sought for in this review petition, then
same will have to be considered by them and
either acceded to or rejected for valid RP NO. 777 OF 2021
reasons.
In such perspective, I do not think it will
be necessary for this Court to dictate the
manner in which the representations are to be
decided by respondents 1 and 2; and
consequently, close this review petition,
without disturbing any of the findings or
directions in the judgment sought to be
reviewed.
Needless to say, notwithstanding the afore,
if the review petitioner or any other person
seek reliefs before respondents 1 and 2 within
the purlieus of the directions of this Court,
same will certainly be considered and taken
note of appropriately in the resultant order.
Additionally, since this Court now
understands that rank of the respondent, who is
represented by Sri.Mathew John, was shown
incorrectly in the writ petition, I deem it
appropriately to suo motu clarify that RP NO. 777 OF 2021
Sri.Mathew John has been consistently appearing
for the 5th respondent in the writ petition.
