2. Issue a writ of mandamus or any other appropriate writ, order or direction to the second respondent to consider the application for numbering the building submitted by the petitioner afresh without considering the fact that there is an allegation that the property of petitioner is classified as paddy land in the village records.

3. Issue such other writ, orders or directions, which this Honourable court may deem fit and proper in the interest of justice and circumstances of the case."

The remedy of the petitioners is to do the needful as per the Kerala Conservation of Paddy Land and Wet Land Act , 2008 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act 2008').
