Under order dated 7.12.2023 in PTCL No.3/2023, the Deputy Commissioner allowed the appeal filed under Section 5A(1-A) of the Karnataka Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (PTCL) Act 1978 by setting aside the order of Assistant Commissioner. - 3 - NC: 2025:KHC-D:6404-DB CCC No. 100103 of 2025 3. It is the grievance of the complainant that even after allowing the writ petition and setting aside the order of Deputy Commissioner, the complainant’s/purchaser’s name is not being entered in the revenue records. There is no further direction in the order of the learned Single Judge, but the consequences by virtue of learned Single Judge’s shall have to follow in accordance with law. It is for the complainant to get his name entered in the revenue records in accordance with law by initiating appropriate proceedings. 4. When there is no specific direction to enter the name of the complainant, the complainant cannot invoke contempt jurisdiction. The complainant shall have to initiate other appropriate proceedings. Accordingly, contempt petition is rejected. Pending applications, if any, are disposed of as not surviving for consideration. Sd/- (S G PANDIT) JUDGE Sd/- (C.M. POONACHA) JUDGE JTR, CT:VP
