Reconsideration of application requested under Kerala Conservation Act when inconsistencies exist in decision-making.

JUDGMENT

This Writ Petition (C) is filed seeking the following relief:

" (i) To issue a writ of Certiorari or any other appropriate writ, order or direction, quashing Exhibit-P1, the order dated 09.07.2025 passed by Respondent No.1 rejecting the petitioners application in Form-5."

[SIC]

2. Petitioners submitted a Form-5 application in accordance with the Kerala Conservation of Paddy Land and Wet Land Act , 2008. The same was rejected as per Ext.P1. The short point raised by the petitioners is that, in the same survey number, another property owner filed a Form-5 application and the same is allowed as per Ext.P2. The same is not considered while deciding the Form-5 application submitted by the petitioners is the submission.

3. Heard the Government Pleader also.

4. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, I think Ext.P1 can be set aside, and there can be a direction to reconsider the Form-5 application submitted by the petitioners in the light of Ext.P2.

Therefore, this Writ Petition is disposed of with the following directions:

1. Ext.P1 is set aside.

2. The 1^st respondent/Authorised O directed to reconsider Form-5 application submitted by the petitioners in the light of Ext.P2, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
