THIS PETITION, COMING ON FOR PRELIMINARY HEARING, THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER: CORAM: HON'BLE MR JUSTICE N S SANJAY GOWDA ORAL ORDER 1. The petitioners are challenging the grant of an interim order by the Deputy Commissioner and are also questioning the justification for entertaining the proceedings under Section 136(3) of the Karnataka Land Revenue Act. - 4 - NC: 2025:KHC:13493 WP No. 24373 of 2024 2. In my view, there is no justification to entertain this writ petition against the grant of an interim order by the Deputy Commissioner. 3. If the Deputy Commissioner, on the information received, has decided to invoke his powers under Section 136(3) of the Karnataka Land Revenue Act, the same cannot be scuttled at the instance of the petitioners on the ground that there is no justification for the entry. The Deputy Commissioner has the statutory right to examine the entries and see if they are regularly made in accordance with law. 4. I am therefore of the view that there is no justification for entertaining this writ petition. This writ petition is therefore dismissed. 5. However, liberty is reserved to the petitioners to raise all such contentions that are available to them before the Deputy Commissioner in the pending revision. - 5 - NC: 2025:KHC:13493 WP No. 24373 of 2024 6. In view of the disposal of the petition, all pending interlocutory applications, if any, stand disposed of. Sd/- (N S SANJAY GOWDA) JUDGE GSR List No.: 1 Sl No.: 7
