The High Court in Kerala ordered a new evaluation of approximately four acres of land identified for the construction of Lul Mall in Thrissur.
The order issued by the revenue division (RDO) allegedly allowed the conversion of what was once a “unpeeled country” to build a shopping center.
The Directive of the Justice Bench Vija Abraham came to the liquidation of two interconnected written petitions given by Lulu Hypermarket and the second Thrissur native TN Mukundan.
The court noted that the statutory procedures according to the Keraral Conservation of Paddy Land and Wetland Act in 2008 were not properly observed.
The Lulu Group claimed that the soil was transformed long before the 2008 act came into force and that it should not be included in the official paddy land and wetland data banks.
