It is contended that in light of this order, the Tahsildar was bound to enter the name of Nanjappa, but the Tahsildar has acted contrary to the order of the Assistant Commissioner. 5.

In that view of the matter, the orders at Annexures-R and S will have to be quashed. 6. Accordingly, the order dated 21.01.2021 in RRT No.233/2020 and order dated and 05.02.2021 in RRT No.234/2020 are quashed and the Tahsildar is directed to reconsider the matter afresh, keeping in mind the order passed by the Assistant Commissioner in RRT.CR.324/2018-19, dated 27.01.2020 (Annexure-L). - 5 - NC: 2025:KHC:16453 WP No. 19442 of 2021 7.
