IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM
MOHAMMED NIAS C.P., J
ROBIN MATHEW – Appellant
Versus
THE DISTRICT COLLECTOR, DISTRICT COLLECTORATE, CIVIL STATION, KOLLAM – Respondent
WP(C) NO. 4582 OF 2025



Advocates:
For the Appellants/Petitioners: SRI.ANTONY SHYJU, SRI.H.NUJUMUDEEN
For the Respondents: SMT. SURYA BINOY, SR. GP.

Failure to comply with interim orders and unchallenged awards diminishes grounds for relief.

Headnote:This judgment arises from a writ petition challenging proceedings related to revenue recovery. The petitioner sought relief against an order from the revenue recovery Tahazildar while intending to appeal a prior award. The court found the interim order uncomplied and the award unchallenged. Consequently, no relief was granted. The court dismissed the writ petition.

Table of Content
1. petitioner challenges revenue recovery proceedings. (Para 1 , 2)
2. petitioner intends to appeal award. (Para 3)
3. court denies relief due to non-compliance. (Para 4)

JUDGMENT The writ petition is filed with the following prayers;

“A. To set aside the further proceedings in connection with Exhibit P4 issued by the revenue recovery Tahazildar, Pathanapuram.

B. To set aside the entire proceedings derived from the Exhibit P4.

C. To grant such other relief as this Hon’ble Court deem fit and proper in the facts and circumstances of the case.”

2. Though an interim order was passed by this Court on

08.12.2025 directing the petitioner to remit an amount of Rs.1 Lakh, the same was not complied with. Accordingly, the interim order was vacated on 30.01.2026.

3. Learned Counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner intends to file an appeal against Ext.P1 award and seeks to keep the revenue recovery proceedings in abeyance to enable him to do so.

4. Taking note of the fact that the recovery was pursuant to an award which has not been challenged so far and that even the interim order passed by this Court has not been complied with, I am not inclined to grant any relief to the petitioner.

The writ petition fails and is accordingly dismissed.
