RA/CR.146/2023-24 VIDE ANNEXURE-R, ETC. THIS PETITION, COMING ON FOR ORDERS, THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER: CORAM: HON'BLE MR JUSTICE N S SANJAY GOWDA - 4 - NC: 2025:KHC:10581 WP No. 4517 of 2025 ORAL ORDER 1. A perusal of the order of the Deputy Commissioner indicates that the Deputy Commissioner refused to entertain the revision of the petitioner on two grounds. Firstly on the ground that, despite the assertions that there was a sale deed of the year 1988-89, the khata was not changed and, secondly on the ground that, the petitioner was already before the Civil court in O.S.No.282/2024 seeking for a declaration and, therefore, it would not be permissible to enter into the controversy as to whether the name of the petitioner should be entered in the revenue records. 2. In my view, the reasoning of the Deputy Commissioner cannot be found fault with, especially when it is noticed that the petitioner has already instituted O.S.No.282/2024 seeking for a declaration. 3. I find no reason to entertain this writ petition. This writ petition is therefore dismissed. - 5 - NC: 2025:KHC:10581 WP No. 4517 of 2025 4. However, it is needless to state that the revenue entries will have to abide by the decision rendered by the Civil Court in O.S.No.282/2024. 5. In view of the disposal of the petition, all pending interlocutory applications, if any, stand disposed of. Sd/- (N S SANJAY GOWDA) JUDGE GSR List No.: 1 Sl No.: 16
