Survey No.385/1-1 in Block No.27 of Ramapuram Village, Meenachil Taluk of Kottayam District. The petitioner confines his relief for an expeditious consideration of Ext.P6 application in Form No.5 under the proviso to Section 5(4) of the Kerala Conservation of Paddy land and Wetland Act, 2008, seeking deletion of entry relating to the subject property from the data bank. According to the petitioner, the property is a converted land and has been erroneously included in the data bank.

Having heard the learned Government Pleader also and without expressing any view on the merits of the matter, this writ petition is disposed of directing the 2nd respondent to consider Ext.P6 application (Form No.5), after obtaining all necessary inputs including the report of the Agricultural Officer and to pass appropriate orders thereon. The entire proceedings shall be completed within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. WP(C) NO. 16457 OF 2022 3 This writ petition is ordered accordingly.
