THIS PETITION, COMING ON FOR PRELIMINARY HEARING, THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER: CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE R DEVDAS ORAL ORDER Learned High Court Government Pleader takes notice for all the respondents. 2. The grievance of the petitioners is that pursuant to the orders passed by this Court in W.P.No.30381/2017 dated 12.10.2023 setting aside the order of cancellation passed by the Assistant Commissioner, when the - 3 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:31164 WP No. 8430 of 2025 petitioners have given representation to the respondent- Tahsildar to restore their names in the revenue records, no action has been taken by the Tahsildar. 3. Learned Counsel for the petitioners submits while drawing attention of this Court to the order dated 12.10.2023 in W.P.No.30381/2017 that this Court found that the respondent-State Government has been unsuccessfully right upto the Hon’ble Supreme Court in Special Leave Petition (Civil) Diary No.37876/2023. Therefore, the common orders passed by the Assistant Commissioner canceling the grants were set aside by this Court on the ground of parity. However, the respondent- Tahsildar has not restored the names of the petitioners in the revenue records. Learned Counsel would also point out to Annexure-C, which is one such order passed by the Deputy Commissioner having regard to the orders passed by this Court and the orders passed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court rejecting the Special Leave Petition filed at the hands of the State Government, the Deputy - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:31164 WP No. 8430 of 2025 Commissioner had directed the Tahsildar to restore the names of the grantees in the revenue records. Similar directions are sought by the petitioners. 4. Having regard to the admitted facts and the orders passed by this Court in W.P.No.30381/2017 and the subsequent orders passed by the Deputy Commissioner at Annexure-C, the petitioners are entitled to get their names restored in the revenue records. 5. Accordingly, the writ petition stands disposed of with a specific direction to the 3rd respondent-Tahsildar, Bengaluru South Taluk, Bengaluru, to restore the names of the petitioners herein in the revenue records as they were prior to the order of cancellation passed by the Assistant Commissioner. The entire exercise shall be completed as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Ordered accordingly. - 5 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:31164 WP No. 8430 of 2025 6. Learned High Court Government Pleader is permitted to file memo of appearance within a period of four weeks from today.
