Meteres comprised in Sy.No.79/26 in Block No.001 of Chevayur Village in Kozhikode District. The grievance of the petitioner is that, the said property has been described as “Nanja” in the revenue records, even though the same has been already removed from the Data Bank after considering the application submitted by the petitioner in Form 5 as per Ext.P2 order dated 05.02.2025. In such circumstances the petitioner submitted Ext.P3 application in Form 6 and it is now pending consideration since 06.02.2025. The limited prayer sought by the petitioner is to direct the 2nd respondent to pass orders thereon within a time frame. 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 5th respondent shall forward a report regarding the nature of the property of the petitioner to the 3rd respondent, the authorized officer under W.P.C No. 10499 of 2025 4 2025:KER:24968 Section 2(xvA) of the Kerala Conservation of Paddy Land and Wetland Act, 2008, within a period two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment and thereupon, the orders shall be passed by the 3rd respondent, the authorized officer as referred to above, on Ext. P3 application in accordance with law, within a period of five months from the date of receipt of a copy of such report. Sd/- ZIYAD RAHMAN A.A.
