The Kerala High Court has held that land utilized for the cultivation of cardamom should be retained for cardamom cultivation itself and any violation would result in resumption of land with the Government. The Division Bench comprising Justice A. Muhamed Mustaque and Justice Shoba Annamma Eapen stated that land utilized for cardamom cultivation under the Kerala Land Utilisation Order 1967 shall not be used for cultivation of any food crop or any other purpose except under the written permission given by the Collector. However, nothing prevents the District Collector from permitting the construction of any building which may be required for maintaining the cardamom plantation”, stated the Court. The petitioner is a plantation that owns cardamom land in Devikulum in Idukki district and the property also contains a small building.
