                      Dated this the 8th day of November, 2023


                                            JUDGMENT

Petitioner has approached this Court seeking a direction to the 3 rd respondent

to dispose of Ext.P4 application in Form 6 within a time frame to be fixed by this

Court.

2. Petitioner is the absolute owner and title holder of an extent of 4.45 Ares of

land comprised in survey no.70/3-3-4-2 of Kureekkad Village in Ernakulam District.

Petitioner submits that the abovesaid land is shown as "nilam" in the revenue

records and thereupon he preferred Ext.P4 application in Form 7 before the 2 nd

respondent to change the nature of land and for permitting her to utilize the land for

dry land purposes.

3. Heard the learned Government Pleader also.

After hearing both sides, I am inclined to dispose of the writ petition with a

direction to the 3rd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P4 application in

Form 6 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within a period of four months from

the date of receipt of a copy of the judgment.

Writ Petition is disposed of as above.
