This petition is filed seeking for issuance of a direction to the respondents 2 and 3 to consider the representation of the petitioner, whereby the petitioner is essentially seeking for issuance of a khata certificate in his favour. 2. It is to be stated here that in respect of this very land, the Taluka Panchayat issued a notice which has been considered in W.P.No.16744/2024 and from - 3 - NC: 2025:KHC:3027 WP No. 45581 of 2018 this it is clear that the Taluka Panchayat is of the view that the petitioner is in unauthorized occupation of the land belonging to temple. Consequently, the prayer sought for in this petition would not survive for consideration and directing the Panchayat to consider his claim for registering the khata would not arise. 3. The Writ Petition is accordingly dismissed. Sd/- (N S SANJAY GOWDA) JUDGE PKS List No.: 1 Sl No.: 61
