Meters comprised in Sy.No.197/9 in Block No.002 of Olavanna Village in Kozhikode District. The grievance of the petitioner is that, the property of the petitioner has been wrongfully included in the Data Bank as “Nanja”, 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 22.01.2025. The limited prayer sought by the petitioner is to direct the 1st respondent to pass orders thereon within a time frame. After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner, the learned Government Pleader for the respondents, I am inclined to dispose of this writ petition. Accordingly, it is ordered that, the 2nd respondent shall forward a report regarding the nature of the property of the petitioner, to the 1st respondent or the W.P.C No. 10503 of 2025 4 2025:KER:26133 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.
