THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON
01.10.2021, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING:
WP(C) NO. 19303 OF 2021 2
JUDGMENT
The petitioners' limited grievance in this case
is that, in spite of Ext.P4 notice issued by the 2 nd
respondent - District Collector under Rule 7(1) of
the Assignment of Land within Municipal and
Corporation Areas Rules, 1995, no further action has
been taken thereon for issuance of the Purchase
Certificate.
2. The learned Government Pleader, Smt.Resmitha
Ramachandran, submitted that Ext.P4 was issued only
on 15.02.2021 and that necessary action thereon,
subject to any objection to be received, will be
completed by the District Collector within the next
two months. She prayed that this writ petition be
ordered on such terms.
3. When I hear the learned Government Pleader as
afore, I see no reason why this writ petition be not
ordered as suggested by her.
In the afore circumstances, I direct the 2nd
respondent - District Collector, to complete the
proceedings on the application of the petitioners
for assignment, adverting to Ext.P4 notice and to
any objection that may have been received; thus
concluding it, leading to issuance of a Purchase
Certificate in favour of the petitioners, if they
are finally found entitled, within a period of two
months from the date of receipt of a copy of this
judgment.
