THIS PETITION COMING ON FOR PRELIMINARY HEARING, THIS DAY, THE COURT MADE THE FOLLOWING: - 3 - NC: 2025:KHC-D:5913 WP No. 107582 of 2023 CORAM: THE HON'BLE MRS JUSTICE M.G.UMA ORAL ORDER The petitioners have approached this Court seeking issuance of writ in the nature of Certiorari to quash the impugned notice dated 22.01.2020 issued by respondent No.2 – the Assistant Director of Land Records, Gokak, (“ADLR” for short) produced as per Annexure-A, and to direct the respondents to conduct fresh survey of the property in question by issuing fresh notices. 2. Heard Sri Sriharsh A. Neelopant, learned counsel for petitioners and Sri T. Hanumareddy, learned Additional Government Advocate for respondent Nos.1 to 3 - State. Perused the materials on record. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioners contended that respondent No.2 had prepared the P.T.Sheet as per Annexure-A. Being aggrieved by the same, he has preferred this petition. Annexure-A is stated to be the notice issued by the Taluka Surveyor/ADLR. The recitals in the document discloses that the ADLR had issued notice regarding his visit to the spot on 22.01.2020 for the - 4 - NC: 2025:KHC-D:5913 WP No. 107582 of 2023 purpose of survey of the land, and directing the parties to produce relevant documents pertaining to their rights. In the prayer column, the petitioners are seeking to quash the impugned notice dated 22.01.2020 i.e., Annexure-A. 4. Learned Additional Government Advocate opposing the writ petition submitted that, if at all the petitioners are aggrieved by any of the order passed by the ADLR, they have to approach the Deputy Director of Land Records for necessary reliefs. 5. The grounds made out in the writ petition disclose that the petitioners are aggrieved by preparation of P.T.Sheet without following the procedure and in violation of principles of natural justice. As already noted, Annexure-A is not the P.T.Sheet. It is only a notice issued by the ADLR. The P.T.Sheet said to have been prepared is not challenged in this petition. Under such circumstances, the writ petition is devoid of merits and therefore, the same is dismissed. Sd/- (M.G.UMA) JUDGE EM CT:ANB:List No.: 1 Sl No.: 9
