THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR
ADMISSION ON 25.09.2024, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY
DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING:
W.P.(C).No.33425/2024

2024:KER:71243
JUDGMENT
The 2nd respondent passed Ext.P2 order cancelling the
mutation in respect of 5.67 Ares of property belonging to the
petitioner on the basis of Ext.P7 application filed by the 5 th
respondent before the 3rd respondent. Challenging Ext.P2 order,
the petitioner preferred Ext.P1 revision under Rule 18(v) of the
Transfer of Registry Rules before the 1st respondent. The 1st
respondent thereafter called for a report from the respondents 2
and 3. However, the revision petition has not been disposed of so
far. The limited prayer in this writ petition is to give a direction to
the 1st respondent to dispose of Ext.P1 revision petition within a
time frame.
Having heard Dr. V.N. Sankarjee, the learned counsel for
the petitioner and Smt. Vidya Kuriakose, the learned Government
Pleader, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the 1 st
respondent to consider and dispose of Ext.P1 revision petition, if it
is received and not disposed of so far, in accordance with law, after
hearing the petitioner, within a period of two months from the date
of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
