Heard Sri. Ravishankar Shastry G., learned counsel appearing for the petitioner; Sri. Manjunath K., learned High Court Government Pleader appearing for respondents 1 to 4; and Sri. A. Madhusudhana Rao, learned counsel appearing for the respondent No.5. 3. In the light of submission made by learned counsel appearing for the parties, the claim made by the petitioner is that the father of the petitioner had purchased the land in question as per the registered Sale Deed dated 09th October, 1957 and thereafter, the registered partition deed has been effected in respect of the joint family properties including the land in question as per the registered Partition Deed dated 27th August, 1962. In that view of the matter, taking into consideration the fact that the land in question is the subject matter in Original Suit No.20 of 2020 on the file of the Senior Civil Judge and JMFC., Bantwal, which is filed questioning the above said partition deed, I am of the view that the parties to the proceedings have to await the decision in the above suit. - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:23134 WP NO.8609 OF 2022 Therefore, I do not find any merit in the writ petition to interfere with the impugned orders passed by the respondent- Authorities. Accordingly, writ petition is dismissed. Sd/- (E.S. INDIRESH) JUDGE ARK List No.: 1 Sl No.: 60
