It is submitted that the property is not included in the data bank and the petitioner has, therefore, submitted an application under Form 6 in terms of Section 27A of the Kerala Conservation of Paddy Land and Wet Land Act, 2008 as Ext.P3 and remitted the requisite fee for the consideration thereof. The petitioner seeks a consideration of the application preferred by him, since the property is recorded as Nilam in the revenue records.
