Case Synopsis & Summary

Six writ petitions (WP(C) Nos. 29108/2020; 2091/2021; 2106/2021; 2613/2021; 3013/2021; 3036/2021) from Kanayannur taluk, Ernakulam, challenge revenue records showing Nilam classification for properties in Thekkumbhagam village and seek reassessment of basic tax and reclassification to Purayidam. The petitioners allege that sale deeds show long-ago conversion and development permissions were obtained, including orders under Clause 6(2) of the Kerala Land Utilisation Order, 1967. They rely on petitions invoking statutory remedies under Kerala Land Tax Act and the Kerala Conservation of Paddy Land and Wetland Rules, 2008 (Form-5 applications and Section 6A). The respondents contend Form-5 applications under the 2008 Rules must be considered first and that tax reassessment claims must wait until those statutory processes are exhausted. The court notes that the petitioners have filed Form-5 applications and that those remedies are statutory and must be processed within reasonable time. The judgment disposes of the petitions with directions: the Revenue Divisional Officer shall consider Form-5 applications within 12 weeks (if complete), and the Tahsildar shall decide reassessment applications within a further six weeks. Petitioners must furnish copies of the writ petitions and certified copies of the judgment to the Revenue Divisional Officer. The decision aligns tax classifications with documentary evidence while ensuring timely statutory remedies.

Provisions of Law Cited

Kerala Land Utilisation Order, 1967 (Clause 6(2))Kerala Land Tax Act (Section 6A)Kerala Conservation of Paddy Land and Wetland Rules, 2008

Legal Doctrines & Maxims

Tahsildar v. Renjith George, 2020 (2) KLT 13 — dictum relied upon by petitioners (cited as argument)

Submissions & Arguments

Contentions of Appellants / Petitioners

The petitioners contend that their properties, though historically converted with development permissions, are shown as Nilam in revenue records. They seek reassessment of basic tax under the Kerala Land Tax Act and reclassification to Purayidam, asserting that the vendors possessed development permits and land-use orders (Clause 6(2) of the KLUO). They rely on statutory Form-5 applications under the Kerala Conservation of Paddy Land and Wetland Rules, 2008, and the decision in Tahsildar v. Renjith George to argue for timely relief. They urge the court to recognize their documentary evidence (sale deeds, development permits) and to direct timely consideration of Form-5 and reassessment filings.

Contentions of Respondents

The respondents argue Form-5 petitions under the Kerala Conservation of Paddy Land and Wetland Rules, 2008, are statutory remedies that must be taken up and decided before any tax reassessment. They emphasize that Form-5 applications and Section 6A of the Kerala Land Tax Act govern the process and that the authorities must act within reasonable time. The State pleader asserts that tax reassessment should await completion of these statutory processes and that the petitioners should not bypass the Form-5 route.

According to the petitioners, the sale deeds will show that the properties were converted long ago and the vendors of the properties had obtained Development Permits. The vendors had even obtained orders under Clause 6(2) of the Kerala Land Utilisation Order. 2. However, their property is shown as 'Nilam' in Revenue records. The petitioners submitted applications for reassessment of basic tax taking into account the actual nature of the property and to change the nature of the property as 'Purayidam' in Revenue records. But, their applications have not been favourably considered. The WP(C) No.29108/2020 & connected cases : 8 : petitioners would submit that their case is squarely covered by the dictum laid down by this Court in _**Tahsildar v. Renjith George** [2020 (2) KLT 13]._ 3. The learned Government Pleader would submit that as the petitioners have already submitted applications in Form-5 invoking the provisions of the Kerala Conservation of Paddy Land and Wetland Rules, 2008, the said applications will have to be considered first, before considering the claims of the petitioners for reassessment of tax. 4. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader representing the respondents. 5. The petitioners have filed applications in Form-5 which are statutory in nature. The petitioners have also filed applications invoking Section 6A of the Kerala Land Tax Act. The applications being statutory in nature, those are to be considered in accordance with law within a reasonable period. In the circumstances, the writ petitions are disposed of directing the 3[rd] respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer to WP(C) No.29108/2020 & connected cases : 9 : consider the Form-5 applications submitted by the petitioners within a period of 12 weeks, if those applications are received with all supporting documents. The Tahsildar shall consider the applications submitted by the petitioners for reassessment of tax within a further period of six weeks, thereafter. The petitioners shall produce a copy of the writ petitions along with certified copy of this judgment before the Revenue Divisional Officer. Sd/- **N.
