Smt.Deepa.V, GOVERNMENT PLEADER THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 28.03.2025, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: 2025:KER:27067 WPC.No.11284/25 3 JUDGMENT The petitioner is aggrieved by the inaction on the part of the 2nd respondent in reconsidering the application submitted by the petitioner in Form-6 in tune with the directions issued by the 1st respondent as per Ext.P3. Ext.P3 order was issued by the 1st respondent on the appeal submitted by the petitioner against an order earlier issued by the 2nd respondent rejecting the Form-6 application of the petitioner. As per Ext.P3, the said order was set aside and the matter was directed to be reconsidered by the 2nd respondent. According to the petitioner, even though Ext.P3 order was passed on 18.11.2024, no order is so far passed. It is further pointed out that, as per Ext.P5, a report is already submitted by the Village Officer before the 2nd respondent, for processing the application. 2. After considering all the relevant aspects, I am of the view that there is no justification in not passing any orders on the application of the petitioner, in the light of Ext.P3 order. In such circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of 2025:KER:27067 WPC.No.11284/25 4 directing the 2nd respondent or the authorized officer under Section 2(xvA) of the Kerala Conservation of Paddy land and Wetland Act, 2008 to pass fresh orders on the Form-6 application submitted by the petitioner as directed by the 1st respondent in Ext.P3. Such an order shall be passed within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Sd/- ZIYAD RAHMAN A.A.
