¶31

The petitione r is the absolute owner in possession of 31 Ares and 57 sq. mts of land in Re.Sy. No.297/13 and 297/14 (Old Sy.No. 900/78) of Block No.002 in Vamanapuram Village, Nedumangad Taluk, Thiruvananthapuram District

¶32

2. The grievance of the petitioner is that the property was wrongly described as ‘Nilam’ in the revenue records even though the same was excluded from the Data Bank. The Form 5 application submitted by the petitioner to remove the property from the Data Bank was allowed as per Ext.P1 order dated 23.04.2021. Therefore, an application in Fo rm 7 which is produced as Ext.P2 dated 02.09.2023, has been submitted by him, before the 4 th respondent, and it is now pending consideration. The limited prayer sought by the petitioner is to direct the 4th respondent to pass orders thereon within a time frame.

¶33

3. After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader, I am inclined to dispose of this writ petition.
