2. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners purchased the land in question under registered sale deed dated 23.08.2004 from Sri.A.Papanna, who is respondent No.13 in RSA No.829/2018. However, a suit was filed by the children of Sri.A.Papanna's vendor in O.S.No.470/2008 seeking partition while also questioning the sale deed executed in favour of the petitioners. The suit was dismissed by the trial Court. However, the First Appellate Court reversed the judgment of the trial Court and allowed the suit. Nevertheless, this Court in RSA No.829/2018 has set aside the order passed by the First Appellate Court while upholding the orders passed by the trial Court, which had dismissed the suit. In the meanwhile, after orders were passed by the First Appellate Court, the revenue entries were mutated in favour of respondent Nos.1 to 10 herein. Therefore, the petitioners have given a representation to the respondent No.4 - Tahsildar, Mysuru Taluk on 04.05.2024 and a legal notice is also issued on

21.05.2025. However, the Tahsildar has not restored the names of the petitioners in the revenue records.
3. Having regard to the facts narrated hereinabove, this Court is of the considered opinion that the respondent No.4 - Tahsildar is duty bound to re-enter the names of the petitioners in the revenue records pursuant to the
order passed by this Court in RSA No.829/2018.
4. Accordingly, the writ petition stands disposed of with a specific direction to the respondent No.4 - Tahsildar, Mysuru Taluk to verify the copy of the judgment and decree passed in RSA No.829/2018 and thereafter, proceed to re-enter the names of the petitioners in the revenue records, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate, within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of copy of this order.
