JUDGMENT
Dated this the 7th
day of July, 2023
The petitioners are before this Court aggrieved by the
omission of the 3rd
respondent-Tahsildar (LR) in entertaining an
application submitted by the petitioners for re-assessment of
rate of Basic Tax of land and for making necessary entries in
the Basic Tax Register.
2. The petitioners are owners of 30.30 Ares of property
in Survey Nos.177/4 and 75/5A of Thachinganadam Desom,
Nemmini Village in Perinthalmanna Taluk, Malappuram District.
The predecessor-in-interest of the land approached the
Revenue Divisional Officer invoking the provisions of the Kerala
Land Utilisation Order, 1967 seeking to permit to use the land
for non-agricultural purposes. The Revenue Divisional Officer
passed Ext.P5 order under Clause 6 of the Kerala Land
Neutral Citation Number :2023:KER:40444
W.P(C) NO.18173 OF 2023
4
Utilisation Order, 1967 permitting to use the land for non-
agricultural purposes.
3. The grievance of the petitioners is that even though
Ext.P5 order was passed under the Kerala Land Utilisation
Order, 1967 in the year 1981, the land of the petitioner is not
re-assessed for fixing rate of Basic Tax and the property of the
petitioner is still described as paddy land in the Revenue
records. The 1st
petitioner therefore submitted Ext.P9
application invoking Section 6(3) of the Kerala Land Tax Act,
1961 seeking to re-assess the Basic Tax and to make
necessary additions in the Basic Tax Register. The Tahsildar,
however, has not passed any orders on the application. Hence,
the petitioners have approached this Court.
4. The Government Pleader entered appearance on
behalf of the respondents and resisted the writ petition. The
Government Pleader controverted all the material allegations
made by the petitioners in the writ petition. It is submitted that
Neutral Citation Number :2023:KER:40444
W.P(C) NO.18173 OF 2023
5
Ext.P5 proceedings are of the year 1981. The veracity and the
genuineness of Ext.P5 proceedings under the Kerala Land
Utilisation Order, 1967 are liable to be verified. The present
status of the land will also have to be ascertained, before re-
assessment of Basic Tax under the Kerala Land Tax Act, 1961.
5. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner
and the learned Government Pleader representing the
respondents.
6. This Court has considered the issue of reassessment
of land tax on the basis of the orders obtained under the Kerala
Land Utilisation Order, 1967 in the judgment in Mary Abraham
v. State of Kerala and others [2020 (4) KLT 448]. This Court
held that once enabling order is passed under Rule 6(2) of the
Kerala Land Utilisation Order, 1967 permitting conversion of the
land, then the earlier entries in the BTR showing the land as
Nilam, Paddy Land, etc. will become superfluous and redundant
and the competent Revenue officials like the Tahsildar are
Neutral Citation Number :2023:KER:40444
W.P(C) NO.18173 OF 2023
6
obliged under law to make a fresh assessment of the property
under Section 6A of the Kerala Land Tax Act, 1961.
7. A Division Bench of this Court also considered the
issue in District Collector, Ernakulam and others v. Fr.Jose
Uppani and others [2020 (4) KLT 612] and the Division Bench
held that when an applicant has secured orders under the
Kerala Land Utiliation Order prior to the cut-off date on which
Section 27A was introduced to the Kerala Conservation of
Paddy Land and Wetland Act, 2008, the competent Revenue
officials are bound to consider the subsequent application
submitted under the provisions of the Kerala Land Tax Act,
1961.
8. As the nature of the land of the petitioners have been
permitted to be changed pursuant to passing of a statutory
order under the Kerala Land Utilisation Order, 1967, the
competent authority is bound to re-assess the rate of Basic Tax
in respect of the land and to make necessary entries in the
Neutral Citation Number :2023:KER:40444
W.P(C) NO.18173 OF 2023
7
Basic Tax Register, if necessary, after verifying the
veracity/genuineness of the permission obtained under the
Kerala Land Utilisation Order, 1967 produced by the petitioners.
The writ petition is therefore allowed. The 3rd
respondent-
Tahsildar (LR) is directed to consider Ext.P9 Form-A application
submitted by the 1st
petitioner, in accordance with law, and pass
appropriate orders thereon within a period of one month.

  • 3. W.P(C) NO.18173 OF 2023 3 JUDGMENT Dated this the 7th day of July, 2023 The petitioners are before this Court aggrieved by the omission of the 3rd respondent-Tahsildar (LR) in entertaining an application submitted by the petitioners for re-assessment of rate of Basic Tax of land and for making necessary entries in the Basic Tax Register. 2. The petitioners are owners of 30.30 Ares of property in Survey Nos.177/4 and 75/5A of Thachinganadam Desom, Nemmini Village in Perinthalmanna Taluk, Malappuram District. The predecessor-in-interest of the land approached the Revenue Divisional Officer invoking the provisions of the Kerala Land Utilisation Order, 1967 seeking to permit to use the land for non-agricultural purposes. The Revenue Divisional Officer passed Ext.P5 order under Clause 6 of the Kerala Land Neutral Citation Number :2023:KER:40444
  • 4. W.P(C) NO.18173 OF 2023 4 Utilisation Order, 1967 permitting to use the land for non- agricultural purposes. 3. The grievance of the petitioners is that even though Ext.P5 order was passed under the Kerala Land Utilisation Order, 1967 in the year 1981, the land of the petitioner is not re-assessed for fixing rate of Basic Tax and the property of the petitioner is still described as paddy land in the Revenue records. The 1st petitioner therefore submitted Ext.P9 application invoking Section 6(3) of the Kerala Land Tax Act, 1961 seeking to re-assess the Basic Tax and to make necessary additions in the Basic Tax Register. The Tahsildar, however, has not passed any orders on the application. Hence, the petitioners have approached this Court. 4. The Government Pleader entered appearance on behalf of the respondents and resisted the writ petition. The Government Pleader controverted all the material allegations made by the petitioners in the writ petition. It is submitted that Neutral Citation Number :2023:KER:40444
  • 5. W.P(C) NO.18173 OF 2023 5 Ext.P5 proceedings are of the year 1981. The veracity and the genuineness of Ext.P5 proceedings under the Kerala Land Utilisation Order, 1967 are liable to be verified. The present status of the land will also have to be ascertained, before re- assessment of Basic Tax under the Kerala Land Tax Act, 1961. 5. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader representing the respondents. 6. This Court has considered the issue of reassessment of land tax on the basis of the orders obtained under the Kerala Land Utilisation Order, 1967 in the judgment in Mary Abraham v. State of Kerala and others [2020 (4) KLT 448]. This Court held that once enabling order is passed under Rule 6(2) of the Kerala Land Utilisation Order, 1967 permitting conversion of the land, then the earlier entries in the BTR showing the land as Nilam, Paddy Land, etc. will become superfluous and redundant and the competent Revenue officials like the Tahsildar are Neutral Citation Number :2023:KER:40444
  • 6. W.P(C) NO.18173 OF 2023 6 obliged under law to make a fresh assessment of the property under Section 6A of the Kerala Land Tax Act, 1961. 7. A Division Bench of this Court also considered the issue in District Collector, Ernakulam and others v. Fr.Jose Uppani and others [2020 (4) KLT 612] and the Division Bench held that when an applicant has secured orders under the Kerala Land Utiliation Order prior to the cut-off date on which Section 27A was introduced to the Kerala Conservation of Paddy Land and Wetland Act, 2008, the competent Revenue officials are bound to consider the subsequent application submitted under the provisions of the Kerala Land Tax Act, 1961. 8. As the nature of the land of the petitioners have been permitted to be changed pursuant to passing of a statutory order under the Kerala Land Utilisation Order, 1967, the competent authority is bound to re-assess the rate of Basic Tax in respect of the land and to make necessary entries in the Neutral Citation Number :2023:KER:40444
  • 7. W.P(C) NO.18173 OF 2023 7 Basic Tax Register, if necessary, after verifying the veracity/genuineness of the permission obtained under the Kerala Land Utilisation Order, 1967 produced by the petitioners. The writ petition is therefore allowed. The 3rd respondent- Tahsildar (LR) is directed to consider Ext.P9 Form-A application submitted by the 1st petitioner, in accordance with law, and pass appropriate orders thereon within a period of one month.
