Kerala Conservation of Paddy Land Rules, Rule 4(4f) | Authorised Officer Must Obtain KSREC Satellite Report Before Approving Land Use Change : Kerala HC
The Kerala High Court has held that approving any change in paddy land use under the 2008 Rules requires a mandatory satellite imagery report from the Kerala State Remote Sensing and Environment Centre. Failure to obtain this report vitiates the order, reinforcing that statutory compliance is non-negotiable and affects farmers, developers, and revenue authorities alike.
