JUDGMENT
The petitioner has approached this Court challenging Ext.P10 stop memo issued to him on the ground that he is alleged to have violated the provisions of the Kerala Conservation of Paddy Land and Wetland Act , 2008(for short ‘the Act, 2008’).
2. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the property in question is not included in the data bank and that the petitioner’s intention is only to level the property for the purpose of undertaking agricultural activities therein.
3. The learned Government Pleader submits that after the coming into force of Section 27A, even if the property is not included in the data bank, the petitioner is required to obtain orders under Section 27A of the Act, 2008, if the property is to be used for any purpose other than agricultural purposes. Since the intention of the petitioner is only to undertake agricultural activities in the property, the same is covered by the judgment of this Court in Deepu v. District Collector, Kollam [2022
