THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 18.03.2025, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: 2025:KER:22864 WP(C) NO. 10437 OF 2025 3 JUDGMENT The petitioners are the co-owners in possession of property having an extent of 8.29 Ares comprised in Sy.Nos.1151/7 and 1151/8 in Cheranallur Village, Kanayannur Taluk, Ernakulam District. The grievance of the petitioner is that, the property of the petitioners has been wrongfully included in the Data Bank as ‘partially converted’, even though the said land stood reclaimed even prior to the implementation of the Kerala Conservation of Paddy Land and Wetland Act, 2008. Therefore, the petitioner submitted Ext.P2 application in Form 5 on 22.02.2025. The limited prayer sought by the petitioner is to direct the 1st respondent/2nd respondent to pass orders thereon within a time frame. After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner, the learned Government Pleader, I am inclined to dispose of this writ petition. Accordingly, it is ordered that, the 2nd respondent or the 3rd respondent shall forward a report regarding the nature of the 2025:KER:22864 WP(C) NO. 10437 OF 2025 4 property of the petitioner, to the 1st respondent or the authorized officer under Section 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. Thereupon, the 1st respondent or the authorized officer as referred to above shall take up Ext.P2 application and pass appropriate orders thereon in accordance with law, within a period of six months from the date of receipt of such report.
