My attention was drawn by the counsel for the petitioners to the Kerala Land Reforms (Amendment) Act 2005 and particularly newly introduced Section 7E therein. The learned counsel and the Government Pleader submitted that the implications of the amendment could not have been taken into account by the Taluk Land Board while passing the impugned order. Under the above circumstances, I set aside the impugned order and remand the matter back to the Taluk Land Board, Tellicherry. The Taluk Land Board will issue notice to all the affected parties and take a fresh decision, having due regard to the implications of the provisions introduced into the Land CRP No.2132/1997 2 Reforms Act under the Kerala Land Reforms(Amendment) Act 2005 particularly Section 7E. Fresh decision will be taken by the Taluk Land Board as directed above at its earliest. PIUS C. KURIAKOSE, JUDGE. Dpk CRP No.2132/1997 3 PIUS C.KURIAKOSE, J ----------------------- C.R.P.
