INCVR 34/78-79 MARKED AT ANNEXURE-C1 PASSED BY R-2 AND ETC. THIS PETITION, COMING ON FOR PRELIMINARY HEARING, THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER: CORAM: HON'BLE MR JUSTICE N S SANJAY GOWDA - 4 - NC: 2025:KHC:16778 WP No. 6695 of 2025 ORAL ORDER 1. The petitioners are challenging an order passed by the Land Tribunal filed by the petitioners’ father. Form No.7 was rejected basically on the ground that he had not given any statement. 2. Learned counsel points out that the tenant had in fact filed W.P.No.30545/1993, but the said writ petition stood abated since no steps have been taken. 3. In my view, in the light of the said order passed in W.P.No.30545/1993, it would be appropriate to direct the petitioners to make an application to set aside the abatement and not to file a separate writ petition such as this one. 4. In the light of the above, this writ petition is dismissed. - 5 - NC: 2025:KHC:16778 WP No. 6695 of 2025 5. Liberty is however reserved to the petitioners to make an application to set aside the abatement passed in W.P.No.30545/1993. 6. 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.: 6
