Taking into consideration, the finding recorded by respondent authorities which came to be confirmed by the Karnataka Appellate Tribunal, wherein, the endorsement has been issued to the petitioner in respect of the land in question as there is a prohibition for grant of land in question, in view of the Government circular dated 23.05.2005 under Rule 10 of the Karnataka Land Grant Rules, 1969, I am of the view that, no interference is called for in this writ petition. It is also to be noted that, as per the report submitted by the Tahsildar dated 14.11.2013, which makes it clear that the land in question is situated at a distance of half kilometers from pattana panchayath limits and therefore, I do not find any merit in this writ petition. Accordingly, writ petition is dismissed. SD/- (E.S.INDIRESH) JUDGE PK List No.: 1 Sl No.: 29 CT: BHK
