The findings in favour of the review petitioners were not disturbed in the order under consideration since their claim was under section 3 (2) or 3 (3) of the Kerala Private Forests (Vesting and Assignment) Act. If they are entitled to get exemption under section 3 (2) or 3 (3), the identification of land and question of possession of land beyond ceiling area etc. are to be considered on remand and remand order is not confined to their claim under section 3 (3) only.
