In view of the claim of the petitioner, the case shall be considered under Clause 6 of the Order by the second respondent, after verifying the draft data bank to find out whether the property of the petitioner is a paddy or wet land under the Act 28/2008. If the land is not classified as above, necessarily, the application of the petitioner shall be considered under Clause 6 of the Order for utilizing other purpose. Needful shall be done within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment after issuing notice to the petitioner.

The writ petition is disposed of as above.
