JUDGMENT
The petitioner is the owner in possession of 3.11 Ares of land in Survey
Nos.423/13 and 423/14 (Old Survey Nos.461/4 and 461/1) in Block No.4 of
Cheranelloor Village in Kanayannur Taluk of Ernakulam District. After
mutation, the present survey numbers are 423/13-2-5 and 423/14-2-5. The
petitioner confines his relief for an expeditious consideration of Ext.P4
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 converted dryland and has been erroneously
included in the data bank.
2. 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 1st respondent to consider Ext.P4 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. The petitioner shall produce a
WP(C) NO. 23606 OF 2021
copy of the writ petition along with a copy of this judgment before the 1 st
respondent for compliance.
This writ petition is ordered accordingly.
