The question of law, which arises for consideration in the present three writ petitions is 'whether the permission granted with regard to the title of the property under the erstwhile Kerala Land Utilization Order, 1967 for change of the user land would hold the field in case the property exchanges the hand'. The said question has already been answered by this Court vide judgment dated 25.6.2018 in W.P.(C) No.16536 of 2018. In the present case also, the predecessor in interest of the petitioner was granted permission for change of the use of the land under the erstwhile Kerala Land Utilization Order, 1967. However, the petitioners are the successor in interest and submitted an application for issuance of a building permit which was refused on the ground that a fresh permission under the provisions of the erstwhile Order was required. Since the aforementioned question has already been answered, in view of the findings rendered in paragraph 3 of the judgment, which is extracted herein below, impugned communications (Ext.P7 in W.P.(C)No.16635 of 2014, Ext.P5 in W.P.(C) No.4809 of 2019 and 4805 of 2019) would not be sustainable and hereby quashed.
