KOCHI: A Division Bench of the Kerala High Court adjourned by two weeks the hearing on a writ petition seeking a CBI inquiry into the grant of 3,000 title deeds in Idukki, Munnar, Devikulam and Kanan Devan Villages. The Bench comprising Chief Justice Rajiv Gupta and Justice K.S. Radhakrishnan adjourned the hearing to enable the Government to get instructions in the case. The petition filed by a Thrissur-based organisation, One Earth, One Life, also sought that a directive be issued to the State Government to evict all persons who have encroached upon the Government land and dismiss the revenue officials who connived with the encroachers for obtaining the title deeds. The petitioner also said that the inquiry conducted by the Additional Director General of Police (Intelligence) had revealed large scale forgery of title deeds in Idukki, Munnar and Devikulam. The deeds were forged with the connivance of the revenue and forest officials.
Sandalwood smuggling
The Chief Secretary has informed the Bench that necessary steps had been taken to prevent sandalwood smuggling in the State. In an affidavit filed in response to a direction on a petition complaining about the import of sandalwood from Tanzania, the Chief Secretary said the Government had promulgated the Kerala Forests (Amendment) Order, 2005 which provided for stringent action against the persons accused of smuggling sandalwood. The ordinance, which was pending before the President, also envisaged the setting up of sandalwood oil extraction unit only in the public sector.
Petition on ranking
Justice K. Balakrishnan Nair has admitted a writ petition filed by the seventh rank holder in the Higher Secondary Examination (Science) 2005 seeking a CBI inquiry into the declaration of the result of the Board of Higher Secondary Examination 2005-Science. The petitioner, P. Anand, said that as per the result published in the newspaper, his marks had been shown as 579. On checking with the authorities, he found that he had obtained only 573. Two students who secured 580 marks had shared the first rank. The petitioner alleged that the rank list had been manipulated.
Munna case
The former police surgeon A. Ramachandran has approached the High Court seeking anticipatory bail in the Munna murder case. When the petition came up, the counsel for the CBI assured Justice Sasidharan Nambiar that Mr. Ramachandran would not be arrested till Monday. It was Mr. Ramachandran who had conducted the post-mortem on the body of Munna.

A Bench adjourned to Monday the hearing on a writ petition questioning the stipulation of minimum marks in pre-degree or other equivalent qualification at 45 per cent for admission to the self-financing Teachers Trainings Schools in the State.
