title and interest on the strength of purchase certificate issued by the Land Tribunal under the Kerala Land Reforms Act, 1963. The revenue authorities have been accepting tax in his name as well. However, his grievance is that the revenue authorities are refusing to issue revenue certificates, thus depriving him from enjoying the property. As held by this Court in Exhibit P3 and P6 judgments, if any person is aggrieved by such purchase certificates or the mutation that has been effected, they would have to take recourse to the remedies as available under Land Reforms Act or the Transfer of Registry Rules, as the case may be. There is no case for anyone that such remedies have been pursued. Furthermore, as per Exhibit P5 report submitted by the Assistant Commissioner (LA), in view of the non-pendency of any further proceedings, the village officers ought to have considered the application for mutation and issuance of possession certificates and process the same after verification of the deeds as well as purchase certificates in possession of the applicant. In other words, if the petitioner claims title based on a purchase certificate issued by the Land Tribunal, the revenue authorities are bound to issue revenue certificates including possession certificates without adverse endorsements. It is for the petitioner to approach the revenue authorities with the necessary documents and seek for issuance of revenue certificates. However, it is made clear that the directions issued by this Court will not preclude any person who is aggrieved by acts of the revenue authorities to mount a challenge against the same as per the provisions of the law if, the provisions enable them to do so, and the same is not barred by any provisions of law.
