                              JUDGMENT

The petitioner has approached this Court seeking a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P2 - Form 6 application, submitted by the petitioner.

2. The petitioner is the absolute owner and in possession of an extent of 03.50 Ares of land in Re-Survey No.868/5 in Re. Survey Block No.5 of Thrikkakkara North Village, Kanayannur Taluk. In the Basic Tax Register, the above property is described as 'Nilam'(paddy land). Thereupon the petitioner has preferred Ext.P2 application in Form-6 before the 1st respondent, to change the nature of the property.

3. Heard the learned Government Pleader also. After hearing both sides, I am inclined to dispose of the above writ petition with a direction to the 1 st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P2 application submitted by the petitioner in accordance with law, within an outer limit of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
