JUDGMENT

The petitioners claim to be the owners of the different parcels of land has approached this Court, notification issued under Section 13 of the Kerala Survey and Boundaries Act, 1961.

2. The learned counsel for the petitioners submit that there are anomalies in re-survey and no action has been taken by the Revenue Officials to correct the anomalies. Therefore, notification without correcting the anomalies is illegal and unsustainable.

3. This Court is of the view that the petitioners grievance can be ventilated before the District Collector under Section 13(A) of Kerala Survey and Boundaries Act. The District Collector has the power of revision notwithstanding the notification. Therefore, the petitioners

W.P.(C).No. 27877 of 2015 -2move before the District Collector with the appropriate application. The 3rd respondent-The District Collector, Alappuzha shall consider the same within a period of four months of moving such application by the petitioners, after hearing the petitioners.

The writ petition is disposed of as above.
