     THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON
18.03.2022, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING:
 WP(C) NO. 9295 OF 2022              2

                             JUDGMENT

When this matter was called today, it was not

disputed by the learned Senior Government Pleader

Smt.K.Amminikutty, even though a specific question

was put to her, that the issues projected by the

petitioners in this writ petition have already been

answered in their favour by a learned Judge of this

Court in W.P(C)No.25805 of 2020, which is evident

from Ext.P7 judgment.

2. In the afore circumstances, I am certain that

petitioners are also entitled to the same relief, as

has been granted by this Court to the petitioners in

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

Resultantly, being guided by Ext.P7, I order

this writ petition, directing the competent

respondent to consider the request made by the

petitioners for issuance of documents like possession

certificate, location sketch, ROR certificate and

such other - with respect to the properties covered

by Exts.P1 to P1(e) - and to issue the same to them.

It is further ordered that the tax receipts and

other documents to be issued to the petitioners 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 petitioners in a civil suit, if any,

instituted or to be instituted by the State of Kerala

and its competent Authorities.

Needless to say, in view of my afore directions,

the endorsement in Exts.P2 and P2(a) tax receipts

shall be effaced by the competent Authority; or a

fresh certificate shall be issued without it, at the

earliest.
