The petitioners have approached this Court seeking a direction to the Revenue Divisional Officer to consider his application under clause 6 of the Kerala Land Utilisation Order in the light of Ext.P5 report. Ext.P5 report indicates that the land has been reclaimed and there are residential buildings in this property. Therefore, it is clear that the property is a dry land and the petitioners can utilise the land for other purposes in terms of the Kerala Land Utilisation Order. Considering the nature of the land, I am of the view that this is a fit case permission can be granted to the petitioner to utilise the land for other purposes. Therefore, based on Ext.P6 if warranted after imposing conditions, necessary permission shall be granted to the WP(C).No.32438/2014-D. 2 petitioners to utilise the land for other purposes in the light of Ext.P5.
Writ petition is disposed of as above.
