The government is yet to act on the reports of
Land Tribunal Pattayams (Title deeds or Purchase Certificates) under the
illegal possession of certain institutions, trusts, companies and individuals
even though the Land Board had intimated about widespread irregularities.
The Land Board is known to have sent a
communication to the government more than two months back about the
irregularity in LT Pattayams. In the communication, it was said that the LT
title deeds that are generally given to cultivating tenants are now largely in
possession of various companies, trusts, institutions and individuals.
Moreover, the title deeds have been given for bulk land holdings of 100, 500,
and 1000 acres of land respectively that
exceed the stipulated ceiling limit as per the Kerala Land reforms Act.
Though LT pattayams had always been an issue for a long time, the Land
Board is also blamed of having not done anything in this regard. Though Land
Board itself could have taken action, the officials are said to be taking a
lackadaisical attitude.
