JUDGMENT

Petitioner approached the Government in revision under the Kerala Conservation of Paddy Land and Wet Lands Act, 2008. Ext.P3 is the Appeal Memorandum dated 30.03.2015 filed before the Secretary to Government. But so far, no decision has been taken on Ext.P3. Aggrieved, petitioner approached this Court. 2.

In view of the fact that Ext.P3, revision is pending before the Government, there shall be a direction to the Government to consider and pass appropriate orders on Ext.P3 within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Till a decision is taken by the Government, status quo shall be maintained.

The Writ Petition is disposed of.
