The grievance of the petitioner is that, the property of the petitioner has been wrongfully included in the Data Bank as paddy land, 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 03.01.2025. The limited prayer sought by the petitioner is to direct the 3rd / 4th 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 6th respondent shall forward a report regarding the nature of the property of the petitioner, to the 3rd respondent, the authorized officer under 2025:KER:27098 WP(C) NO. 12313 OF 2025 4 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.
