Digitally signed by KIRAN KUMAR R Location: HIGH COURT OF KARNATAKA - 2 - NC: 2025:KHC:4397 WP No. 33400 of 2024 THIS PETITION, COMING ON FOR PRELIMINARY HEARING IN ‘B’ GROUP, THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER: CORAM: HON'BLE MR JUSTICE N S SANJAY GOWDA ORAL ORDER 1. The case of the petitioners is for issuance of a direction to the respondent to consider their representations dated 15.06.2016, 27.11.2023 and 22.01.2024, the copies of which are produced at Annexures ‘E’, ‘E1’ and ‘E2’. 2. By the said annexures, the petitioners contend that the property in question was initially standing in the name of their grand-mother—Jayamma and her name was also registered as the Khatedar. 3. It is stated that their grand-mother had conveyed the said property to their mother under a registered gift deed dated 04.04.2006 and their mother had passed away on 15.02.2016. As a consequence of which, they had succeeded to the property and - 3 - NC: 2025:KHC:4397 WP No. 33400 of 2024 therefore, their names were required to be entered in the Khata register. 4. In my view, since it is contended that the property was standing in the name of the petitioners’ grand- mother and by virtue of the execution of the gift deed in favour of the petitioners’ mother and on her subsequent death, the petitioners’ had inherited the same, it would be appropriate to direct the respondent to consider the request of the petitioners and pass appropriate order on merits in accordance with law, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 5. It is needless to state that nothing said in this order shall be construed as rendering any opinion on the merits of the claim of the petitioners. 6. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of.
