THIS PETITION, COMING ON FOR PRELIMINARY HEARING , THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER: CORAM: HON'BLE MR JUSTICE E.S.INDIRESH ORAL ORDER 1. Learned Additional Government Advocate is directed to take notice for respondent Nos.1 and 2. 2. In this writ petition, petitioners are assailing the order dated 25.06.2024 (Annexure-M) in R.A.(BN):86/2016-17, passed by respondent No.1. - 5 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:22811 WP No. 18496 of 2025 3. Learned Additional Government Advocate raised preliminary objection that the petitioners are having alternative efficacious remedy under Section 136(3) of the Karnataka Land Revenue Act, 1964. 4. In this regard, Sri. Ashok G.V., learned counsel appearing for the petitioners contended that, the petitioners have questioned the jurisdiction of respondent No.1 to look into the order passed by respondent No.1 and therefore, he contended that, the impugned order is non est on the ground of lack of jurisdiction. 5. In that view of the matter, taking into consideration the fact that the petitioners have efficacious remedy before the competent authority under Section 136(3) of the Karnataka Land Revenue Act, 1964 and also it is open for the Revisional Authority to look into all the documents pertaining to the jurisdiction aspect raised by the learned counsel appearing for the petitioners herein, and as such, I am of the view that, the writ petition is not maintainable. 6. Accordingly, the writ petition is rejected and the petitioners are relegated to approach the competent authority - 6 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:22811 WP No. 18496 of 2025 under Section 136(3) of the Karnataka Land Revenue Act, 1964. 7. Needless to say that all the contentions of the parties are kept open. 8. Consequently, pending I.As. 1 and 2 of 2025 do not survive for consideration.
