THIS PETITION, COMING ON FOR ORDERS, THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER: CORAM: HON'BLE MR JUSTICE N S SANJAY GOWDA ORAL ORDER 1. This Writ Petition is filed challenging a show-cause notice issued to the petitioner under Section 104 of the Karnataka Land Revenue Act, 1964 (ACT) in which it is sought to be contended that the petitioner is in unauthorized occupation. 2. It is the case of the petitioner that there was an earlier litigation between the petitioner and the Thasildar which had ended in favour of the petitioner and despite there also being a decree of a Civil Court, it is sought to be contended that the petitioner is in unauthorized occupation and hence the entire proceedings are without jurisdiction. 3. In my view, it would be appropriate to direct the petitioner to file objections raising all such - 3 - NC: 2025:KHC:16886 WP No. 12050 of 2025 contentions, as are permissible, if the objections are not already filed. On such being objections being filed, the Thasildar shall consider the same and thereafter pass an appropriate order in accordance with law. 4. The petitioner shall also be afforded a reasonable period of 30 days to prefer an appeal, if the order goes against the petitioner. Until then, no precipitative action shall be taken by the Thasildar. This Writ Petition is, accordingly, disposed of. 5. In view of the disposal of the petition, all pending interlocutory applications, if any, stand disposed of. Sd/- (N S SANJAY GOWDA) JUDGE HNM List No.: 1 Sl No.: 68
