Dated this the 5th day of September, 2024
JUDGMENT
The petitioners have approached this Court seeking a
declaration that the Principal District Court, Thiruvananthapuram has no
jurisdiction to entertain E.P.No.32 of 2024 and for a direction to the said
court to remove E.P.No.32 of 2024 from its files. Similar reliefs are sought
in the other original petitions also.
2. Learned senior counsel appearing for the petitioners submits
that going by Section 30 of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development)
Act, 2016 and Rules 26 and 27 of the Kerala Real Estate Regulation
Rules, 2018 the execution petitions are not maintainable and remedy
available to the respondents is to recover the amount as arrears of land
revenue. Learned senior counsel would further submit that they have
already filed petitions as E.A.No.270 of 2024 in E.P.No.34 of 2024,
E.A.No.271 of 2024 in E.P.No.35 of 2024, E.A.No.272 of 2024 in
E.P.No.36 of 2024 and E.A.No.269 of 2024 in E.P.No.32 of 2024 to hear
the question of maintainability of the execution petitions as a preliminary
issue.
O.P.(C) Nos.1956, 1949, 1950 & 1954 of 2024 10
2024:KER:67581
Taking into consideration the above facts and circumstances, I
am inclined to dispose of the original petitions with a direction to the
execution court to hear the question of maintainability raised in
E.A.No.270 of 2024 in E.P.No.34 of 2024, E.A.No.271 of 2024 in
E.P.No.35 of 2024, E.A.No.272 of 2024 in E.P.No.36 of 2024 and
E.A.No.269 of 2024 in E.P.No.32 of 2024 as a preliminary issue.
With the abovesaid direction the original petitions are disposed
of.
