     THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON

 WP(C) NO. 26357 OF 2021
                              -2-

                           JUDGMENT

When this matter was called today, it was

conceded by the learned Senior Government Pleader

- Smt.K.Amminikutty, that the issues projected by

the petitioner in this writ petition have already

been answered in his favour by a learned Judge of

this Court in the judgment dated 18.03.2021 in

W.P.(C)No.25805 of 2020.

2. In the afore circumstances, I am certain

that petitioner in this writ petition is also

entitled to the same relief, as has been granted

by this Court to the petitioners in W.P(C)No.25805

of 2020.

In the afore circumstances, being guided by

the afore judgment, I allow this writ petition,

directing the competent respondent to consider the

request made by the petitioner for issuance of

documents like possession certificate, location WP(C) NO. 26357 OF 2021

sketch, ROR certificate and such other - with

respect to the property covered by Ext.P1 - and to

issue the same to him.

It is further ordered that the tax receipts

and other documents to be issued to the petitioner

shall not carry any adverse endorsement; however,

clarifying that the directions issued in this

judgment will be subject to any adjudication of

the title of the petitioner in a civil suit, if

any, instituted by the State of Kerala and its

competent Authorities.

Needless to say, in view of my afore

directions, the endorsement in Ext.P2 tax receipt

shall be effaced by the competent Authority; or a

fresh certificate shall be issued without it, at

the earliest.
