PROHIBIT WRONGS PROMOTE RIGHTS : Kerala Conservation of Paddy Land and Wetland Act,...: Kerala Conservation of Paddy Land and Wetland Act, 2008 - elaw.in
The main documents regarding Kerala land is kept and maintained by Revenue Department ,Survey and land records department,Registration Department Agriculture Department   Local Self Government Bodies There is no coordination between the  departments
They do not consult or get the consent of the concerned departments while according several sanctions The end result is that the records regarding land in those offices and documents with owners and holders are out dated  Though the documents are to be true ,they are false

We may see several land documents ,where big buildings, institutions are noted as fallow or paddy land  ,as a paddy land This was the result of the fact that ,the local bodies did not consider  it necessary to consult other departments before according building permit  Even in cases where building permits are allowed in wet land/paddy land ,by ignoring the relevant laws and rules as before the act of 2008 ,the implementation o off paddy land was not considered as an active act The act was ignored as a passive act ,an ignorable act even by responsible authorities

We may note that several public buildings are built in paddy fields without obtaining permission from land revenue authorities Coconut board has given subsidies for planting coconuts in paddy fields ,by reclaiming the land Most of such coconut gardens grown in paddy fields remained as fields remained as paddy fields in documents and building permits were issued ,with out considering the fact that ,no formal sanction is received for the reclamation of the land This resulted in reduction of paddy land in the state  It also resulted in the fact that
the documents of lands in kerala do not match with the reality
The land documents became incredible  We can see where big office,shopping complexes are situated are shown as paddy fields in records and documents

In order to make the  records and documents reliable and true ,a campaign is  needed  Otherwise the objective of the law can not be achieve  Whether the rules in this regard are sufficient is to be examined
