JUDGMENT
Dated this the 14th day of September 2021
The petitioner is the owner in possession of 4.24 Ares
of land in Survey No.438/2 of Nadama Village in Kanayannur
Taluk of Ernakulam District. It is submitted that the property of
the petitioner is a converted land. The petitioner confines her
relief for an expeditious consideration of Exts.P4 and P5
applications in Form Nos.5 and 6 under Section 27A of the Kerala
Conservation of Paddy land and Wetland Act, 2008, seeking
deletion of entry relating to the subject property from the data
bank and seeking permission for use of land for other purposes.
According to the petitioner, the property is a converted land 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 4th respondent to initially
consider Ext.P4 application (Form No.5), after obtaining and
verifying the relevant materials and reports from the Agriculture
Officer and to pass appropriate orders thereon within a period of
two months from the date of receipt of copy of this judgment. If WP(C).No.18902 OF 2021
orders are passed excluding the property from the data bank,
then Ext.P5 application (Form No.6) shall also be taken up for
consideration and appropriate orders shall be passed within three
months thereafter. The RDO shall consider all relevant matters
and shall obtain reports from the concerned Village Officer as
well.
This writ petition is ordered accordingly.
