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.
