The petitioner's husband had arrears under the Abkari Act, for which the Government proceeded against the property of the petitioner's husband and for want of bidders, the same was purchased as bought-in-land; under the Kerala Revenue Recovery Act, 1968. The petitioner's husband having expired later on, the petitioner approached the Government with a representation Ext.P7, undertaking to settle the entire dues as also seeking re-conveyance of the land purchased as bought-in-land. This Court by Ext.P8 directed consideration of Ext.P7 representation within a period of three months. The period granted by this Court as per Ext.P8, though over, the Government has not yet considered the same. 2. In the meanwhile, the Government came out with Ext.P9, which is an amnesty scheme for settlement of the W.P.(C) No. 9694 of 2014 2 Abkari dues. The petitioner's prayer is that, the petitioner may be considered for amnesty pending consideration of Ext.P7.
3. In such circumstance, there shall be a direction to the respondents to consider the petitioner under Ext.P9 amnesty scheme as per the application preferred by Ext.P10, and pass orders thereon, within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment. Necessarily, the re-conveyance shall depend upon the final orders passed in Ext.P7.
Writ Petition disposed of. No cost.
