JUDGMENT
Dated this the 16th day of March, 2022
This writ petition is filed seeking the following prayer:
"(i) issue a writ of mandamus or any appropriate writ, order or direction commanding the 2nd respondent to pass orders on Exhibit P1 after affording an opportunity of hearing and communicate the petitioner within a time frame fixed by this Hon'ble Court."
2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned
Government Pleader.
3. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the
petitioner had submitted an application in Form 6 in respect of 1.48
Ares of property in Re-Survey No.186/9-1-3 and 3.22 Ares of property
in Survey No.186/25-2-2 of Chelamattom Village, Kunnathunad Taluk
of Ernakulam District. It is submitted that the application was initially
rejected by the RDO. Thereafter, the petitioner had preferred an appeal
under Section 27B of the Kerala Conservation of Paddy Land and
Wetland Act, 2008 and Ext.P5 order was passed by the District
Collector on 09.08.2021 allowing the appeal, setting aside the order of
the RDO and remanding the matter to the RDO for a fresh WP(C) NO. 4686 OF 2022
consideration. It is submitted that thereafter nothing has been done in
the matter.
4. Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the
learned Government Pleader, I am of the opinion that further steps have
to be taken by the 2nd respondent in pursuance to Ext.P5, in accordance
with law, without delay. There will, accordingly, be a direction to the
2nd respondent to take up Ext.P1 application submitted by the petitioner
and to consider and pass orders on the same as directed in Ext.P5, after
considering all relevant aspects of the matter and after verifying the
data bank and obtaining all necessary inputs including the report of the
Village Officer. Orders shall be passed within a period of two months
from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
This writ petition is ordered accordingly.
