After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader, I am inclined to dispose of this writ petition. Accordingly, it is ordered that, the 6th respondent shall forward a report regarding the nature of the property of the petitioner, to the 3rd respondent, the authorized officer under Section 2025:KER:22958 WP(C) NO. 9686 OF 2025 4 2(xvA) of the Kerala Conservation of Paddy Land and Wetland Act, 2008 within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
