Heard Sri Girish V Bhat, learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri T. Hanumareddy, learned Additional Government Advocate for the respondent. Perused the materials on record. 3. It is the grievance of the petitioner that he was the owner of land measuring 12.60 Cents in Sy.No.81/7 of B.Gonal Village, Ballary taluk. Since he relinquished his right in respect of 2.80 Cents in favour of the Government, his name is to be mutated in the revenue records in respect of 9.80 Cents. In that regard, he has submitted a representation dated 19.08.2024 to the respondent. 4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that, similar direction was issued by this Court in the petition filed by - 3 - NC: 2025:KHC-D:4746 WP No. 106756 of 2024 the adjacent owners making similar prayer. The said submission is not disputed by the learned Additional Government Advocate but on the other hand, he concedes the same. Under such circumstances, I do not find any reason to reject the prayer made by the petitioner. Hence, I proceed to pass the following: ORDER (I) The petition is allowed. (ii) Respondent is directed to consider the representation submitted by the petitioner dated 19.08.2024 as per Annexure-F and pass appropriate orders in the light of the approved layout plan.
