ORAL ORDER
Petitioner has challenged the order dated 07.03.2025 issued by the Deputy Tahsildar at Annexure-D. Petitioner has also sought for issuance of writ of mandamus to direct respondents 4 and 6 to consider the application of the petitioner and to grant the land measuring 2 acres 30 guntas in Sy. No. 30 situated at Mattanahalli Village, Jadigenahalli Hobli, Hosakote Taluk, Bengaluru Rural District. 2. As rightly pointed out by the learned Additional Government Advocate, Annexure-D is only an internal correspondence between the Deputy Tahsildar and the Tahsildar. The communication appears to suggest that the application of the petitioner is ineligible. However, till a final order is passed in terms of Rule 108-CCC(3) of the Karnataka Land Revenue Rules, 1966, rejecting the application of the petitioner as being ineligible, there is no cause of action to the petitioner to initiate proceedings.

3. Accordingly, the petition is declared to be a premature writ petition and is disposed of as not calling for adjudication. All contentions of the petitioner are kept open to be raised if any decision is taken in terms of Rule 108-CCC(3) of the Karnataka Land Revenue Rules, 1966. Sd/- (S SUNIL DUTT YADAV) JUDGE
