RA.CR.20/2022-23 VIDE ANNEXURE-K. THIS PETITION, COMING ON FOR PRELIMINARY HEARING, THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER: - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:24403 WP No. 17527 of 2025 CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE E.S.INDIRESH ORAL ORDER Learned Additional Government Advocate accepts notice for respondents No.1 to 4. Mr.Santhosh R.Nelkudri, learned Counsel submits that he has filed caveat on behalf of respondents No.5, 6, 8 to 20. 2. Heard the learned Counsel appearing for the parties. 3. In this writ petition, the petitioner is assailing the order dated 04.04.2025 (Annexure ‘K’) passed by respondent No.2 remanding the matter to respondent No.4 to take decision in the matter with regard to change of entry in the mutation register. Though the learned Counsel appearing for the petitioner has submitted that respondent No.2 ought to have remanded the matter to respondent No.3, as the mutation is already existing insofar as the land in question is concerned, I have given - 5 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:24403 WP No. 17527 of 2025 my anxious consideration to the finding recorded by respondent No.2 at paragraph No.6 to 9, which makes it clear that there is no tally in respect of the extent of land mentioned in the pahani as well as the Akarband. 4. In that view of the matter, respondent No.2 has rightly remanded the matter to respondent No.4 with a direction to comply with regard to entering the names of the parties in the mutation register. 5. In that view of the matter, since this Court has limited jurisdiction under Articles 226 and 227 of the Constitution of India to interfere with the order of remand made by the respondent-authorities, I am of the opinion that no interference is called for in this writ petition. 6. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed as devoid of merits. Sd/- (E.S.INDIRESH) JUDGE JT/- CT:SM
