The petitioner is the absolute owner in possession of a

¶30

property having an extent of 1.46 ¾ Ares of land in Sy.No.257/6 of Karuvambram Village, Ernad taluk as evidenced from Ext.P1 copy of the Basic Tax Register issued by the Village Officer Narukara dated 02.05.2014. The petitioner is aggrieved with the fact that the petitioner's property stands wrongfully included in the Data Bank prepared by the 1^st respondent as provided under Section 5(4) of the Kerala Conservation of Paddy Land and Wet Land Act, 2008 (for brevity, Act of 2008). The petitioner contends that the land of the petitioner is not suitable for cultivation and the adjacent lands have been filled up and constructions made thereon. However, since the property has already been included in the draft Data Bank prepared in terms of the Act of 2008, the petitioner would have to approach the Local Level Monitoring
