J U D G M E N T
The petitioner is the absolute owner in possession of 1.865 acres of land in Survey Nos.49/1 and 278/1 of Thenkara - II Village in Palakkad District. The petitioner is aggrieved with the fact that the same has been wrongly included in the Data Bank prepared in terms of Kerala Conservation of Paddy Land and Wet Land Act, 2008 (for brevity, Act of 2008) as 'nilam'. The petitioner contends that the land was reclaimed decades back before the commencement of the Act of 2008 and that the adjacent lands are not paddy lands. It is submitted that the grievance of the petitioner has already been projected by way of Ext.P2 before the 1st respondent Local Level Monitoring Committee, which is stated to be pending consideration. The prayer is to cause the same to be considered and disposed of within a reasonable time in tune with the ruling
W.P.(C) No. 20564/2015 -2rendered by a Division Bench of this Court in Adani Infrastructure & Developers Pvt. Ltd. v. State of Kerala - (2015 (1) KLT 651).
2.
In such circumstances, if Ext.P2 is received in original, the same shall be considered, if necessary after conducting a site inspection and orders passed in accordance with law, as has been declared in the aforecited judgment. The orders shall be passed at any rate within three months from the date of production of the certified copy of this judgment.
The writ petition is disposed of.
