Judgment

Koshy,Ag.C.J.

Petitioner’s contention is that the area covered under

the Cochin Corporation can be called only ‘Cochin’ and not ‘Kochi’.

Government by notification changed the area covered under the

‘Cochin Taluk’ as ‘Kochi Taluk’. So, only ‘Kochi’ can be named to the

area covered under the ‘Cochin Taluk’ and not under ‘Kanayannoor

Taluk’. In Ext.P11, a Division Bench of this Court directed the

Government to consider the representation. Petitioner filed Ext.P12

representation. In the above circumstances, we direct the first

respondent State Government to consider and dispose of Ext.P12

representation as expeditiously as possible, in any event, within

three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.

State Government should also get views of the Cochin Corporation

before passing the final order.

The writ petition is disposed of.
