     THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON
05.10.2021, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING:
 WP(C) NO. 19361 OF 2021
                               -2-

                            JUDGMENT

When this matter was called today, the learned

counsel for the petitioner relied on Ext.P4

judgment, dated 06.11.2020 in W.P.(C)No.19377 of

2020, saying that the issues impelled in this writ

petition have been answered in favour of his

client in the said judgment.

2. The learned Senior Government Pleader -

Smt.K.Amminikutty, affirmed the above and conceded

that this writ petition be allowed; however,

praying that it be made clear that the directions

in the aforementioned judgment will be subject to

the adjudication of the title in civil suit, if

any, instituted by the State.

3. I have examined Ext.P4 judgment and have

no doubt, as rightly stated by the learned counsel

for the petitioner, that the issues in this case

have been answered in favour of the petitioner. WP(C) NO. 19361 OF 2021

In the afore circumstances, I allow this writ

petition and direct the competent among the

respondents to issue necessary revenue

certificates to the petitioner, such as location

sketch, ROR Certificate, Possession Certificate

and 'Nijasthithi' Certificate with respect to the

property covered by Ext.P1, on him making

appropriate applications for the same and

remitting the requisite fee, without making any

adverse endorsements thereon.

I, however, make it very clear that if the

State is to file any civil suit with respect to

the title of the property, the afore directions

will be subject to the result of such proceedings.
