JUDGMENT

Petitioner is the joint owner of a land that was converted prior to the enactment of the Kerala Conservation of Paddy Land and Wetland Act , 2008. The petitioner therefore submitted an application before the 2^nd respondent under Clause 6 of the Kerala Land Utilisation Order (for short “KLU Order”). As the application was rejected, the petitioner preferred a writ petition and the same was disposed of by Ext.P7 judgment, directing the petitioner to file an appeal under Cause 11 of the KLU order. Accordingly, the petitioner preferred Ext.P8 appeal along with Ext.P9 application, to call for a report from the KSREC. This writ petition is filed aggrieved by the delay in taking up Exts.P8 and P9 for consideration.

2. Heard, learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader.

Considering the limited relief sought and the fact that the appeal is filed pursuant to Ext.P7 judgment of this Court, the writ petition is disposed of by directing the 1^st respondent to consider and pass orders on Exts.P8 and P9 within three months of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment, after affording opportunity of hearing to the petitioner.
