JUDGEMENT

(1.) Being aggrieved by the judgment in W. P. (C) No. 8201 of 2010 dtd. 23/7/2021, setting aside Ext. P14 order of the Commissioner of Land Revenue, Thiruvananthapuram, dtd. 28/1/2010, and further directions, instant writ appeal is filed.

I don't want to make any observation about the merit of the case. I am not satisfied the way in which the 1st respondent passed Ext.P14 order. I leave open all the contentions of the petitioner and the contesting respondents. The petitioner and the contesting respondents can raise all their submissions before the 1st respondent and the 1st respondent will reconsider the matter in accordance to law. I make it clear that I have not considered the matter on merit. The 1st respondent is free to pass appropriate orders in accordance to law, but only after hearing the petitioner and the affected parties. A speaking order is necessary. Therefore, this writ petition is allowed in the following manner:
