======================== W.P.(C). No.26052 of 2013 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 6th day of November, 2013 JUDGMENT
The petitioner has approached this Court with the following prayers: " i) That a writ of mandamus or other order be passed directing the 2nd respondent to consider Ext.P9 and the various documents produced before him and pass an order within a time to be fixed by this Hon'ble Court after hearing the petitioner. ii) That a writ of certiorari or other order be passed quashing Ext.P6 and directing the respondents to restore the property of the petitioner detailed in Ext.P6 in the name of the petitioner in all revenue records. iii) That a writ of mandamus or other order be passed directing the 3rd and 4th respondents to restore back the property of the petitioner detailed in Ext.P9 to the petitioner or initiate land acquisition proceedings and pay the compensation to the said property to the petitioner and his brother." 2. When the matter is taken up for consideration, the learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the grievance of the petitioner has been highlighted by way of Ext.P9 which is W.P.C. No.26052 of 2013 -2- pending consideration before the 2nd respondent and that the petitioner will be satisfied, if a direction is given to the said respondent to consider and dispose of the same within a reasonable time.
3. Heard the learned Government Pleader appearing for the respondents.
4. Considering the limited nature of relief sought for, this Court does not find it necessary to go into the merits of the case. In the said circumstance, the writ petition is disposed of, directing the 2nd respondent to consider and pass appropriate orders on Ext.P9 in accordance with law, after giving an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner and other interested party, if any, at the earliest, at any rate, within 'two months' from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The petitioner shall produce a copy of the judgment along with a copy of the writ petition before the 2nd respondent for further steps. P.R. RAMACHANDRA MENON, JUDGE. kp/-
