           RP.1287/2008 in WP(C).NO.28504 of 2008
                  ---------------------------------
         Dated this the 5th      day of December, 2008

                             JUDGMENT

By judgment dated 25.9.2008, I had directed the

petitioner to approach the competent authority under the

assignment of land within the Municipal and Corporation Areas

Rules, 1995 and also issued a direction to the said authority to

consider the petitioner’s application. The review petition has

been filed by the petitioner on the premise that Ext.P10

challenged in the writ petition was not specifically quashed.

2. I make it clear that the direction issued by this court in

the judgment enabling the petitioner to move an application for

assignment was on the premise that such application shall be

considered by the competent authority without reference to

Ext.P10. In other words, in dealing with the petitioner’s

application the competent authority under the assignment of land

within the Municipal and Corporation Areas Rules 1995 shall deal

with such application on merits without being influenced by

Ext.P10.

WPC.26278 /2008 2

3. In circumstances where the petitioner has already

approached the competent authority on 25.10.2008, it is only

appropriate that the petitioner shall not be evicted from the

property in question till the decision is taken on the said

application by the competent authority.

Subject to the above clarification, the review petition is

disposed of.

V. GIRI, JUDGE.
