FOLLOWING:
 WP(C) No.14432/2021

                                 2




                            JUDGMENT

Dated this the 20th day of July, 2021

The petitioner is owner of 4.05 Ares of land comprised

in Sy.No.413/1 of Mulayam Village in Thrissur District.

According to the petitioner, though the land is a garden

land, it is described as paddy land/wetland in the revenue

records. Therefore, the petitioner seeks change of nature

of the land in the revenue records. The petitioner has filed

Ext.P2 application invoking Rule 12(1) of the Kerala

Conservation of Paddy Land and Wetland Rules, 2008.

2. I have heard the learned counsel for the

petitioner and the learned Government Pleader

representing the respondents.

3. As Ext.P2 application filed by the petitioner is a

statutory application invoking provisions of the Kerala WP(C) No.14432/2021

Conservation of Paddy Land and Wetland Act and Rules

made thereunder, the 4th respondent is legally bound to

consider the same within a reasonable time.

Therefore the writ petition is disposed of directing the

4th respondent to consider Ext.P2 application within a period

of two months if the application is complete in all respects

and is supported by all necessary documents.
