JUDGMENT

The petitioners have filed the captioned writ petition pointing out that they were in possession of certain properties in their capacity as the legal heir one deceased Kuttan Kartha, on the basis of a Kuthakappattam.

2. The Patta issued as above stood cancelled without hearing the petitioners, against which, though they have filed a separate appeals, the appeals were also unsuccessful as evidenced by Exts.P15 and P16. In such circumstances, further revisions have been filed before the District Collector as evidenced by Exts.P17 and P18 by the respective petitioners.

3. I have heard Sri.Sherry J.Thomas, the learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri.E.G.Gorden, the learned senior Government Pleader.

4. Insofar as the revision petitions filed as above-Exts.P17 and P18 – are pending consideration before the District Collector, I am of the opinion that this writ petition can be disposed of with directions.

Resultantly, this writ petition would stand disposed of by directing the 2nd respondent herein to consider and pass orders at Exts.P17 and P18 filed by the petitioners, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within a period of six months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, after hearing the petitioner.
