JUDGMENT

Being aggrieved of Ext.P2 order dated 01.01.2015 passed by the second respondent ordering restoration of the property under Section 13 of the Kerala Conservation of Paddy Land and Wet Land Act, 2008, the petitioner has preferred Ext.P3 Revision Petition before the first respondent. The prayer is to cause the same to be considered and disposed of within a reasonable time.

2. Heard the learned Government Pleader as well.

3. In view of the limited extent of relief sought for, this Court does not find it necessary to go into the merits of the case.

3. After hearing both the sides, the writ petition is disposed of, directing the first respondent to consider and pass appropriate orders on Ext.P3 Revision Petition, after affording an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner in accordance with law, at the earliest, at any rate, within 'three months' from the date of

W.P.(C) No.7411 of 2015 receipt of a copy of this judgment.

'Status quo' shall be maintained by both the sides till such time.

The petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment, along with a copy of the writ petition, before the first respondent, for further steps.

P.R. RAMACHANDRA MENON, JUDGE sp
