                               JUDGMENT

Dated this the 31st day of March, 2023

The petitioner is the owner in possession of 27.92 Ares of land in

Survey No.15/4-2 of Chengamanad Village in Aluva Taluk of Ernakulam

District. The petitioner confines his relief for an expeditious consideration

of Ext.P3 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 a garden 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 2nd respondent to consider Ext.P3 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 four months from the

date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. WP(C) NO. 11541 OF 2023

This writ petition is ordered accordingly.
