JUDGMENT

The petitioner claims title to 80.94 ares of land under Exts.P1 and P2 sale deeds. For issuance of revenue documents like possession certificate, thandper (ROR) certificate, location sketch etc, the petitioner made Ext.P5 application, which has been rejected by Ext.P6 Order, stating that the property was earlier a plantation, owned by Harrisons Malayalam Limited.

2. Learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that the issue involved in this Writ Petition is already covered by a judgment of this Court produced at Ext.P7, whereby the status of the property as a plantation, at some point of time earlier,cannot be decisive.

3. In answer to the same, learned Government Pleader would submit that Ext.P6 only directed the petitioner to produce a patta.

4. Learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that the petitioner’s predecessor purchased the property in 1955, and what has been purchased by the petitioner vide Exts.P1 and P2 is a jenmom sale deed, which obviates the necessity for patta.

5. Inasmuch as the issue stands covered by a series of judgments, including Ext.P7, there will be a direction to the 3rd respondent/Village Officer to issue the revenue certificates sought
