                      Dated 22nd August, 2008.

Petitioner is aggrieved by Exts.P2, P4 and P6 in the

matter of liability to pay the stamp duty. According to the petitioner,

the matter is squarely covered in her favour, in view of the decisions of

this court in (1) State of Kerala v. George Jacob (2005(4) KLT 709

(DB) and (2) All Kerala Document Writers & Scribes Association

v. State of Kerala (2005(3) KLT 234). According to the learned

Government Pleader, the factual position may not help the petitioner

to place reliance on the judgments. Since the matter has not been

considered in the light of the judgments, it is only appropriate that the

first respondent considers the matter with notice to the petitioner and

takes a decision in the light of the decisions referred to above.

Accordingly the impugned orders are quashed with a direction to the

first respondent to consider the matter afresh with notice to the

petitioner and pass appropriate orders thereon in accordance with law

within three months from the date of production of a copy of the

judgment.

The writ petition is disposed of as above.

KURIAN JOSEPH, JUDGE.
