 WPC 10836/22
                                            3

                             JUDGMENT

All which the petitioners allege against Ext.P8 is that it

does not fix a time frame for the Deputy Collector (LR),

Kottayam, to act in terms of the directions therein.

2. In response to the afore submissions made by

Smt.Abiya Mariyam Mathew - learned counsel for the

petitioners, the learned Senior Government Pleader - Smt.Mable

C. Kurian, submitted that Ext.P8 is dated 09.03.2022 and that

all necessary action as per the directions thereunder will be

completed by the Deputy Collector without any avoidable delay.

Taking note of the afore submissions and recording the

same, I order this Writ Petition to the limited extent of directing

the 4th respondent - Deputy Collector to act as per the

directions in Ext.P8 and to complete proceedings thereon as

expeditiously as is possible, but not later than six months from

the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
