JUDGMENT

Manjula Chellur,CJ Appellant is before us aggrieved by the judgment of the learned single Judge dismissing the writ petition. She approached the learned single Judge seeking quashing of Ext.P14 and also for a direction to the respondent-authorities to re-convey an extent of 38498 sq.ft of land in T.S.No.277/1 of Block 10, Ward 10 of Calicut Corporation to the appellant.

2. Apart from this, several representations, earlier, seems to have been filed before the respondent-authorities seeking for re-conveyance of the above mentioned land. It is also pertinent to mention that in an earlier round of litigation in W.P.(C) No.21381 of 2005, similar reliefs were sought, which ended in Judgment (Ext.P8). The only direction given in the earlier judgment was to consider her representation, which came to be considered and Ext.P14 is the order turning down her request.
