The proceedings were initiated under Section 108(k) of the Karnataka Land Revenue Act, which led to an order passed by the Assistant Commissioner on 01.10.2020 by which the Assistant Commissioner remanded the matter to the Tahsildar for reconsideration. 2. This order of remand was challenged by way of a revision to the Deputy Commissioner and this revision has been dismissed. 3. In my view, since the Assistant Commissioner has only remanded the matter for reconsideration and the same has found favour of the Deputy Commissioner, in my view, there is no justification for entertaining this writ petition under Section 108(k) of the Karnataka Land Revenue Act. 4. This writ petition is therefore dismissed. - 4 - NC: 2025:KHC:8988 WP No. 25753 of 2024 5. In view of the disposal of the petition, all pending interlocutory applications, if any, stand disposed of.
