Having taken note of the submissions made by the learned counsel appearing for the petitioners and the learned Additional Government Advocate, I have carefully examined the finding recorded by respondent No.3 at Annexure-B, wherein the mutation order made in I.H.C.110/1996-97 has been set aside and the fourth respondent herein has been directed to initiate mutation proceedings after ascertaining the genealogy tree of late Marappa, as per Sections 128 and 129 of the Karnataka Land Revenue Act, 1964. 4. In that view of the matter, taking into consideration the finding recorded by respondent No.3 (Annexure-B), petitioners have to establish that they belong to the family of late - 5 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:23719 WP No. 19505 of 2024 Marappa, S/o Hallada Marappa.
