The petitioner has no contention that the procedure prescribed under the Act and Rules have not been complied with. The only contention of the petitioner is that the land is not Government land but the petitioner's own land. That means the petitioner is claiming on the basis of title. The statutory fact finding Authorities on materials, before them have come to the conclusion that the land belongs to the Government. That being so, when the petitioner contends that the land is not Government land, the petitioner's remedy lies in filing a suit for establishing his title as saved under Section 20 of the Kerala Land Conservancy Act. Without prejudice to such right, this writ petition is dismissed. Sd/ S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE Acd
