JUDGMENT
The petitioners approached the first respondent under Clause 6 of the Kerala Land Utilisation Order, 1967(for short, the Order). 2.
The petitioners case is that their land is a converted land much before the enactment of the Kerala Conservation of Paddy Land and Wet Land Act, 2008 ( for short, the "Act 28/2008"). In view of the claim of the petitioners, the case shall be considered under Clause 6 of the Order by the first respondent, after verifying the draft data bank to find out whether the property of the petitioners is a paddy or wet land under the Act 28/2008. If the land is not classified as above, necessarily, the application of the petitioners 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 petitioners.
The writ petition is disposed of as above.
