CORAM: HON'BLE MR JUSTICE R DEVDAS AND HON'BLE MR JUSTICE S VISHWAJITH SHETTY
ORAL ORDER (PER: HON'BLE MR JUSTICE R DEVDAS)
This review petition is filed by the appellants in W.A.No.1134/2012 connected with W.P.No.50676/2017, to review the order dated 08.11.2022 passed by this Court.
2.
Learned Counsel Sri.G.Balakrishna Shastry, appearing for the review petitioners brings to the notice of this Court that the appellants had challenged the order before the Hon’ble Apex Court in Special Leave Petition (Civil) Diary No.4094/2023 and the Special Leave Petition was dismissed by order dated 12.09.2023. However, the
learned Counsel would submit that the order of dismissal is a one line order without adverting to the contentions sought to be raised at the hands of the petitioners before the Hon’ble Apex Court. Learned Counsel would also draw the attention of this Court to a communication dated 10.10.2023, made by the learned Counsel who appeared

NC: 2025:KHC:13303-DB RP No. 52 of 2024
for the petitioners before the Hon’ble Apex Court, addressed to the learned Counsel for the petitioners at Mangaluru and submits that the learned Counsel has stated that the Hon’ble Apex Court has orally observed that it is a matter for review before this Court.
3. Learned Counsel would also submit that the contesting respondent cannot dispute the fact that the claim insofar as Sy.No.210/1B of Nikkiladi of Padu Padu Perara village, Mangaluru Taluk, was in respect of 2 Acres 50 Cents as against the grant of occupancy rights in respect of 3 Acres 53 Cents, which could not have been granted by the Land Tribunal.
4. Having heard the learned Counsel for the petitioners and on perusing the petition papers, this Court finds that the Hon’ble Apex Court has dismissed the Special Leave Petition in the presence of the learned Counsel for the respondents. It is not a case where the Special Leave Petition was dismissed without notice to the respondents. Further, the learned Counsel has also admitted the fact that this issue regarding the extent of
- 7 -
NC: 2025:KHC:13303-DB RP No. 52 of 2024
land claimed by the occupant by filing application in Form No.7, was 2 Acres 50 Cents and the occupancy rights were conferred in respect of 3 Acres 53 Cents, was contested by the petitioners in the writ petition as well as in writ appeal and therefore, it cannot be considered as an ‘error apparent on the face of the record’.
5. For the reasons stated above, this Court is of the considered opinion that the review petition cannot be entertained. Accordingly, the review petition stands dismissed.
6. Pending I.As., if any, stand disposed of.
