The grievance of the petitioner is that, the property of the petitioner has been wrongfully included in the Data Bank and mentioned as 'Nilam' in the revenue records, 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.P3 application in Form 5 on 11.02.2025 for removal of entry of 37.45 Ares of the property from the Data Bank. The limited prayer sought by the petitioner is to direct the 2nd respondent or the authorized officer under Section 2(xvA) of the Kerala Conservation of Paddy Land and Wetland Act, 2008 to pass orders thereon within a time frame. After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner, the 2025:KER:25516 WP(C) NO. 11769 OF 2025 4 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 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.
