The petitioner is the owner in possession of 5.62 Ares of land in Survey Nos.366/3-1-2 and 366/3-3 of Varapuzha Village in Paravur Taluk of Ernakulam District. The petitioner confines his relief for an expeditious consideration of Ext.P2 application in Form No.5 under the provisions 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 dry 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 RDO/2nd respondent to consider Ext.P2 application (Form No.5), after obtaining all necessary inputs including the report of the Agricultural Officer and to pass appropriate WP(C).No.16988 OF 2022 3 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. The petitioner shall produce the copy of this judgment along with the copy of the writ petition before the 2nd respondent for compliance.
This writ petition is ordered accordingly.
