THIS PETITION, COMING ON FOR PRELIMINARY HEARING, THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER: CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE E.S.INDIRESH ORAL ORDER I have heard Sri. C.N. Satyanarayana Shastry, learned counsel appearing for the petitioners and Smt. Navya Shekar, learned Additional Government Advocate appearing for the respondent-State. 2. In this writ petition, the petitioners are assailing the order dated 17.02.2025 in RA No. 220 of 2020 on the file of the Special Assistant - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:27339 WP No. 15664 of 2025 Commissioner-I, quashing the order dated 11.06.2020 (Annexure-B) passed by the respondent No.3- Thasildar. 3. C.N. Satyanarayana Shastry, learned counsel for the petitioners contended that, entry in the mutation as per Annexure-B has been made taking into consideration the possession and title in respect of subject matter and same has been illegally interfered with by the Special Assistant Commissioner- I, Kolar- Sub Division, Kolar and accordingly, sought for interference in this writ petition. 3. Per contra, Smt. Navya Shekar, learned Additional Government Advocate appearing for the respondent-State submitted that, petitioners are having alternative and efficacious remedy under Section 136(3) of Karnataka Land Revenue Act, 1964. - 5 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:27339 WP No. 15664 of 2025 4. In that view of the matter, though the learned counsel for the petitioners contended that the title to the property in question is settled as well as with regard to possession also, however, taking into consideration that, suit in OS No.151 of 2019 is pending consideration before the competent Civil court at Mulabagilu, and the petitioners have to exhaust efficacious remedy available under Section 136(3) of the Act, I do not find merit in the writ petition. Reserving liberty to the petitioners to approach the competent authority as stated above, the writ petition is disposed of. SD/- (E.S.INDIRESH) JUDGE SB List No.: 1 Sl No.: 32
