¶59

[W.A.NOS.1467, 1475 & 1488 OF 2020]

¶60

¶81

¶82

After considering the rival submissions, in W.P.(C) Nos.12744 & 12721 of 2020, writ court ordered thus:

¶83

“10. In that view of the matter, it is ordered and declared that the matter would require serious reconsideration at the hands of the 1st respondent-RDO. The impugned Ext.P4 in W.P.(C.) No.12721/2020 and the impugned Ext.P5 order in W.P.(C.) No.12744/2020 will stand set aside and quashed and the matter will stand remitted to the 1^st respondent-RDO for consideration of the limited issue as to the correctness of the factual aspects regarding the notified fair value as stated in Ext.P2 report of the respondent-Village Officer produced in the 1^st case and Ext.P3 report of the respondent-Village Officer produced in the 2^nd case, which has resulted in even payments as per Ext.P3 in the 1st case and Ext.P4 in the 2nd case.

¶84

The 1st respondent will strictly adhere to the abovesaid legal position well settled by this Court that the prescribed fee payable in such cases is the notified fair value of the subject property covered by the application filed under Sec.27A(1) and not that of any other property. Further, the said notified fair value of the subject property covered by Sec.27A(1) application should be strictly on the basis of such notified fair value as on the date of submission of Sec.27A(1) application and not the fair value revised subsequently thereto.

¶85

Before parting with this case, this Court would refer to certain observations

¶86

W.A.Nos.1467, 1475 & 1488 of 2020

¶87

¶88

made by this Court in judgments issued in similar cases as per judgment dated 12.6.2020 in W.P.(C.) No.12189/2020 wherein this Court has held that while exercising the statutory powers either under Rule 6(2) of the KLU Order or under Sec.27A(1) of the 2008 Act, the notified statutory officers cannot act as if they are ‘Collector of Taxes’ as no fee is involved in the application under Rule 6(2) and what is involved in the application as per Sec.27A(1) is only imposition of a fee and not a tax.

¶89

Therefore,, it is the bounded statutory duty of the 1st respondent to ensure that meticulous adherence to the abovesaid legal principles be made so that the petitioners are not unnecessarily driven to this Court for any further litigative proceedings in this regard. The 1st respondent will also bear in mind that the predecessor in office of the 1st respondent has already taken a view by acting upon the abovesaid reports of the Village Officer, which resulted in even acceptance of the fee amounts as per Exts.P3 and P4. It is also made clear that decision in this regard may be duly taken by the 1st respondent after affording reasonable opportunity of being heard to the petitioners, within 2 weeks from the date of production of a certified copy of this judgment. Thereafter, the 1st respondent will ensure that the matters in relation to the applications in Ext.P1 in the 1st case and Ext.P2 in the 2nd case is duly considered, after following the requisite procedure.

¶90

It is pointed out by petitioners' counsel that the entire process of consideration has been duly completed by the predecessor in office of the 1st respondent and all what remains was only the payment of the requisite fee, which has also been completed as per Exts.P3 and what thereafter remains was only passing of final orders disposing of Ext.P1 application in the 1st case and Ext.P2 application in the 2nd case.

¶91

According to the petitioners, the figure shown in Ext.P5 produced in W.P.(C.) No.12744/2020 is not fully correct and the actual amount paid by the

¶92

W.A.Nos.1467, 1475 & 1488 of 2020

¶93

¶94

petitioner therein is Rs.78,609/-. If that be so, it shall be ensured by the 1st respondent that the aforesaid process of hearing afforded to the petitioners should relate not only to matters in relation to fair value, but also on the merits of the matter and thus after concluding the process of hearing, as aforedirected, the 1^st respondent-RDO should also pass final orders disposing of Ext.P1 application in W.P.(C.) No.12721/2020 and Ext.P2 application in W.P.(C.) No.12744/2020 without much delay, preferably within a period of 4 weeks from the date of production of a certified copy of this judgment.

¶95

The petitioners will produce certified copy of this judgment along with copies of the memorandum of these W.P.(C.)s with all the exhibits before the 1st respondent-RDO for necessary information and further action.

¶96

With these observations and directions, the above Writ Petitions (Civil) will stand finally disposed of .”

¶97

4. In W.P.(C) Nos.133211 of 2020, writ court ordered thus:

¶98

“6. Since the said decision to the extend of insisting the said fair value has been rendered contrary to the facts and figures reported as per Ext.P3 and since the said decision has been rendered by the 1st respondent without reasonable opportunity to the petitioner and since the abovesaid aspects has not been duly taken into account, it is only to be ordered that the matter would require serious reconsideration at the hands of the 1st respondent and would warrant a remit. For effectuating such a remit, the impugned Ext.P4 notice to the limited extend, it insists for payment of the prescribed fee on the basis of fair value as mentioned in Ext.P4 would stand quashed and set aside. The substantive decision taken in Ext.P4 to the effect that the 1^st respondent has decided to allow the main prayer of the petitioner for statutory permission under Sec.27A(1) is not interfered with in any manner. Accordingly it is ordered that the 1st respondent RDO will afford reasonable opportunity of

¶99

W.A.Nos.1467, 1475 & 1488 of 2020

¶100

¶101

being heard to the petitioner and should also examine the factual aspects borne out from Ext.P3 report and then should correctly ascertain the fair value of the subject property covered by Ext.P2 application dated 22-07- 2019 as on the date of submission of Ext.P2 application and then permit the petitioner to pay such correct fee, in terms of the dictum laid down by this Court in the aforementioned judgments. After giving the petitioner reasonable time to pay the said correct amounts, the 1st respondent should finalise the proceedings on Ext.P2 application in respect of the plea for grant of permission for change of use of the land in terms of Sec.27A(1) as already mentioned in Ext.P4. The entire process in that regard, in respect of not only stipulating the correct fee payable and also giving reasonable time to the petitioner to pay such correct fee and also passing of final orders on Ext.P2 application etc., should be duly completed by the 1st respondent RDO within the outer time limit of six weeks from the date of production of a certified copy of this judgment.

¶102

The petitioner will produce a certified copy of the judgment along with a copy of the memorandum of W.P(C) with all the Exhibits before the 1st respondent RDO for necessary information and further action.

¶103

With these observations and directions the above Writ Petition (Civil) will stand disposed of.”

¶104

On this day, when the matter came up for hearing, Mr.P.K.Soyuz, learned counsel appearing for respondent in all the writ petitions, submitted that the directions issued by the writ court in the above writ petitions have been implemented and that, the Revenue Divisional Officer/Sub Collector, Kottayam District – appellant No.1, has issued orders in favour of the writ petitioners. That apart, learned counsel for respondent, submitted that in tune with the directions

¶105

¶106

¶107

issued, the Government have also issued a Circular dated 20.2.2021 as to how fees on the basis of the fair value of the property has to be calculated. The said circular, marked as Annexure R3, is reproduced hereunder:

¶122

“5. Pending disposal of the writ appeal, respondent No. 1 has produced Annexure R(a), a circular dated 20.02.2021 issued by the Principal Secretary, Department of Revenue, whereby Government of Kerala has issued orders instructing the officers concerned, including the first appellant to the effect that fair value shall be fixed based on the date of submission of the application before the office concerned.

¶123

In Annexure R(a) circular dated 20.02.2021, it is clarified that those who submitted applications before 15.05.2020 need not pay the enhanced rate.

¶124

In the light of Annexure R(a) dated 20.02.2021, Mr. S. Ranjith, learned Special Government Pleader, submitted that in the case on hand the

¶125
