JUDGMENT

The petitioner is the owner of the property having an extent of 20.01 Ares comprised in Survey Number 325/6-1, 325/7-

¶24

1 and 325/8-2 in Block No.007 of Nannambra Village in Tirurangadi Taluk. The grievance of the petitioner is that, the said property was wrongly described as wetland in the revenu e records even though the same is not included in the Data Bank. Therefore, an application in Form 6 which is produced as Ext.P4, has been submitted by the petitioner, before the 1^st respondent, and it is now pending consideration since 13.03.2025. The limited prayer sought by the petitioner is to direct the respondents to pass orders thereon within a time frame.

¶25

After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader, I am inclined to dispose of this writ petition. Accordingly it is ordered that, the 2^nd respondent shall forward a report as to the nature of the property of the petitioner, to the 1^st respondent or the authorized officer under
