I shall first deal with W.P.(C)No.32119\/09. Prayer sought<\/p>\n<p>in this writ petition is to quash Exts.P4, P5 and P7 orders, passed<\/p>\n<p>by the respondents 5, 4 and 3 respectively. The petitioner claims<\/p>\n<p>that she and her ancestors were in possession of 45 cents of land<\/p>\n<p>in    old    Survey      Nos.13709\/A\/1-3           and   13709\/A\/1-1 of<\/p>\n<p>Karunagappally Village. In 1994, Ext.P1 order was passed by the<\/p>\n<p>5th respondent, exercising his powers under the Kerala Land<\/p>\n<p>Conservancy Act, 1957, finding that the petitioner&#8217;s husband had<\/p>\n<p>unauthorisedly encroached into 3.08 cents of land. On that basis,<\/p>\n<p>prohibitory assessment was ordered and a fine of ` 250\/- was<\/p>\n<p>imposed. Based on Ext.P1, Ext.P2 &#8216;form C notice&#8217; was issued<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                   2<\/span><br \/>\nW.P.(C).Nos.32119\/09 &amp; 16692\/10<\/p>\n<p>and the petitioner&#8217;s husband was called upon to remit arrears of<\/p>\n<p>tax for 40 years. He was also ordered to vacate from the land.<\/p>\n<p>        3.    Against these proceedings, the petitioner&#8217;s husband<\/p>\n<p>filed an appeal before the Revenue Divisional Authority. In the<\/p>\n<p>meantime, the petitioner&#8217;s husband was expired and the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner joined as a party to the appeal and prosecuted the<\/p>\n<p>appeal, which was finally disposed of by Ext.P3 order. A reading<\/p>\n<p>of this order would show that, it was the contention of the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner that, she and her ancestors were in possession of the<\/p>\n<p>property since 110 years and that property was not a path way,<\/p>\n<p>as claimed by the rival claimants. Taking note of these<\/p>\n<p>contentions, RDO found that the notice issued by the Tahsildar<\/p>\n<p>shows the time of encroachment and that, S.5 of the KLC Act<\/p>\n<p>could not be evoked in the case. Proceeding further, on the<\/p>\n<p>ground that, the Lower Authority had not verified the points that<\/p>\n<p>the petitioner raised before the R.D.O., the order passed by the<\/p>\n<p>Tahsildar was set aside and a fresh disposal was ordered.<\/p>\n<p>        4. On remand, the Tahsildar reconsidered the matter and<\/p>\n<p>passed Ext.P4 order. This order shows that, during the course of<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                       3<\/span><br \/>\nW.P.(C).Nos.32119\/09 &amp; 16692\/10<\/p>\n<p>the hearing, the 12th respondent was also heard and that he<\/p>\n<p>claimed that, the land in question is a path way. The Tahsildar<\/p>\n<p>inspected the land and found that the land is recorded in the<\/p>\n<p>revenue records as &#8216;zirkar vazhi&#8217; and that the petitioner&#8217;s<\/p>\n<p>husband had encroached upon the poramboke land about 60<\/p>\n<p>years back.          Thereafter, the Tahsildar passed the following<\/p>\n<p>orders:-\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>              &#8221;    The above poramboke land comprised in Block No.10,<br \/>\n              R.S.No.330\/5 of Karunagappally Village having an extent<br \/>\n              of 2.30 Ares is a zirkar &#8220;vazhi poramboke&#8221;. As per the<br \/>\n              existing orders &#8220;vazhi-poramboke&#8221; is not assignable.<br \/>\n              Hence the encroachment is objectionable.          In the<br \/>\n              circumstances the defendant is fined Rs.200\/- (Rs.two<br \/>\n              hundred only).       She is     also  levied prohibitory<br \/>\n              assessment at the rate of basic tax w.e.f. the year of<br \/>\n              K.L.C.Act 1957 come into force.       The defendant will<br \/>\n              vacate the encroachment within 7 days on the receipt<br \/>\n              of this order.     The defendant has liberty to submit<br \/>\n              application for lease on he yielding trees standing in the<br \/>\n              land.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>        5. Against this order, the petitioner filed appeal before the<\/p>\n<p>R.D.O., which was dismissed by Ext.P5 order. Revision filed<\/p>\n<p>before the Collector was also dismissed by Ext.P7 order. A<\/p>\n<p>further revision was also filed before the Land Revenue<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                   4<\/span><br \/>\nW.P.(C).Nos.32119\/09 &amp; 16692\/10<\/p>\n<p>Commissioner, which was also rejected by Ext.P9 order, on the<\/p>\n<p>ground that, &#8216;the Commissioner of Land Revenue has no<\/p>\n<p>powers for second revision as per the KLC Act, 1957, where the<\/p>\n<p>District Collector is the revisional authority&#8221;.      It is in these<\/p>\n<p>circumstances this writ petition is filed.<\/p>\n<p>        6. Contention raised on behalf of the petitioner is that,<\/p>\n<p>R.D.O. himself has found that the encroachment is 60 years<\/p>\n<p>prior to Ext.P4 order and hence S.5 of the Act could not be<\/p>\n<p>invoked and that, if that be so, proceedings under the KLC Act<\/p>\n<p>could not have been initiated against the petitioner or her<\/p>\n<p>husband. Learned counsel further contented that, though this<\/p>\n<p>issue was specifically ordered to be considered by the Tahsildar,<\/p>\n<p>while considering the matter afresh, the Tahsildar did not advert<\/p>\n<p>to this contention.\n<\/p>\n<p>        7.    On behalf of the party respondents, the contention<\/p>\n<p>raised is that the land in question is the only path way they have.<\/p>\n<p>It is stated that the petitioner had already approached the Civil<\/p>\n<p>Court and the Civil Court has dismissed the suit by R7 judgment.<\/p>\n<p>It is argued that, it was taking note of the public interest involved<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                      5<\/span><br \/>\nW.P.(C).Nos.32119\/09 &amp; 16692\/10<\/p>\n<p>in the matter, that the Tahsildar, R.D.O. and the District Collector<\/p>\n<p>have ordered the eviction of the petitioner from the poramboke,<\/p>\n<p>which is a &#8216;zirkaar vazhi&#8217; as per the revenue records. Raising<\/p>\n<p>these contentions, the counsel for the party respondents wanted<\/p>\n<p>this court to sustain the impugned order.\n<\/p>\n<p>        8. I have considered the submissions made.<\/p>\n<p>        9.    As already seen, it was the specific case of the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner that, she and her ancestors were in possession of the<\/p>\n<p>property for more than 100 years. On this basis, the argument<\/p>\n<p>set up was that the proceedings under the KLC Act, which came<\/p>\n<p>into force only in 1958, could not be initiated in respect of<\/p>\n<p>encroachments prior to the Act.              It is taking note of this<\/p>\n<p>contention that in Ext.P3 order, the R.D.O. passed the following<\/p>\n<p>orders :-\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>             &#8221;     On perusal of the file submitted by the Lower<br \/>\n             Authority and through the arguments made by the counsel<br \/>\n             for the appellant on personal hearing, I come to the<br \/>\n             conclusion that the pleas of the appellant deserve<br \/>\n             consideration. The Notice issued by the Tahsildar shows<br \/>\n             the time of encroachment and hence the Section 5 of<br \/>\n             K.L.C. Act could not be evoked in this case. The Lower<br \/>\n             Authority has not verified the points that the appellant<br \/>\n             raised before this court.   In the circumstances, the<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                        6<\/span><br \/>\nW.P.(C).Nos.32119\/09 &amp; 16692\/10<\/p>\n<p>             following order is passed.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>                                       O R D E R<br \/>\n                             The order passed by the Tahsildar read as<br \/>\n             2nd above is set aside and remanded for fresh disposal<br \/>\n             after hearing the appellant as per the provision of KLC<br \/>\n             Act.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>        10. Therefore, on remand, when the matter was<\/p>\n<p>reconsidered, the Tahsildar ought to have borne in mind the<\/p>\n<p>finding of the appellate authority, as contained in Ext.P3 order<\/p>\n<p>and examined the issue in the light of such finding. A reading of<\/p>\n<p>Ext.P4 order, passed by the Tahsildar, shows that this issue was<\/p>\n<p>not even adverted to, despite the finding that, the petitioner&#8217;s<\/p>\n<p>husband had encroached into the property about 60 years back.<\/p>\n<p>This contention of the petitioner was again reiterated in her<\/p>\n<p>pleadings in the appeal filed before the R.D.O. and in the<\/p>\n<p>revision filed before the District Collector. However, either of<\/p>\n<p>these authorities also, have not considered the aforesaid<\/p>\n<p>findings of the R.D.O., which has become final. Therefore, I am<\/p>\n<p>inclined to think that the impugned orders are liable to be<\/p>\n<p>interfered and the matter requires a fresh consideration. In that<\/p>\n<p>view of the matter, I am inclined to set aside Exts.P5 and P7<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                     7<\/span><br \/>\nW.P.(C).Nos.32119\/09 &amp; 16692\/10<\/p>\n<p>orders passed by the Tahsildar, R.D.O. and the District Collector<\/p>\n<p>and direct that the 5th respondent will reconsider the matter duly<\/p>\n<p>taking only into account the findings in Ext.P3 order passed by<\/p>\n<p>the R.D.O.\n<\/p>\n<p>        11. As far as the suits filed by the petitioner resulting in<\/p>\n<p>Ext.P7 judgment is concerned, first of all, Government or its<\/p>\n<p>officials were not parties and accordingly, that was only an<\/p>\n<p>injunction suit. Therefore, that judgment cannot operate against<\/p>\n<p>the petitioner and this case cannot be rejected for that reason.<\/p>\n<p>        12. It is directed that, while the matter is reconsidered, the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner and the party respondents will also be issued notice<\/p>\n<p>and they will also be heard.\n<\/p>\n<p>        Orders shall be passed, as expeditiously as possible at any<\/p>\n<p>rate within 8 weeks from the date of production of a copy of this<\/p>\n<p>judgment along with copy of writ petition.<\/p>\n<p>        W.P.(C)No.32119\/09 will stand disposed of as above.<\/p>\n<p>W.P.(C).No.16692\/10<\/p>\n<p>               In    W.P.(C)No.16692\/10,   the    prayer  sought    is<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                     8<\/span><br \/>\nW.P.(C).Nos.32119\/09 &amp; 16692\/10<\/p>\n<p>essentially for the implementation of the orders passed by the<\/p>\n<p>Tahsildar, which was confirmed by the R.D.O. and the District<\/p>\n<p>Collector.
