JUDGMENT

The petitioner has approached the third respondent as per Exhibit P1 to correct the entry in the Draft Data Bank. According to the petitioner, this is a converted land and the entry in the Draft Data Bank is liable to be corrected. In the above circumstances, this Court is of the view that the fourth respondent shall conduct a site inspection and find out whether the land in question can be classified as paddy land or wet land as on the date of enactment of the Kerala Conservation of Paddy Land and Wetland Act, 2008 (Act 28 of 2008). If it is found that the land cannot be classified as wet land or paddy land as on the date of enactment of Act 28 of 2008, corresponding changes shall be effected in the Draft Data Bank. Needful shall be done by the fourth respondent within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, after issuing notice for hearing to the petitioner. The Writ Petition is disposed of as above.
