JUDGMENT

The above writ petition is filed with following prayers : “A) Call for the entire records leading to the cancellation order and consequent cancellation of Ex.P1 pattayam and quash the same by issuing a writ of certiorari or any other appropriate writ, order of direction.

B) Issue a writ of Mandamus or any other appropriate writ, order or direction thereby direct the respondents to complete the enquiry if any pending, in respect of Exhibit P1 pattayam within a time frame fixed by this court.

C) Grant such other relieves which are just and necessary in the interest of justice.” [sic]

2. One of the main prayer in this writ petition is to call for the entire records leading to the cancellation order and consequent cancellation of Ext.P1 pattayam and quash the same by issuing a writ of certiorari or any other appropriate writ, order or direction. It is conceded by the Government Pleader that Ext.P1 pattayam is already cancelled. The Government Pleader submitted that since it is an old file, the authorities concerned are trying to get the same. If that is the case, the petitioner can file an application before the 2^nd respondent for getting a copy of the order cancelling the pattayam and if such an application is filed, the 2^nd respondent will issue a copy of the same to the petitioner, within a time frame.

Therefore, this writ petition is disposed of with the following directions :

1) The petitioner is free to file an application before the 2^nd respondent for getting a copy of the order cancelling Ext.P1 pattayam within three weeks from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment.

2) If such an application is received, the 2^nd respondent will consider the same and issue a copy of the order to the petitioner forthwith, at any rate, within three months from the date of receipt of the application.

3) The petitioner is free to challenge the order, in accordance with law.
