JUSTICE R DEVDAS ORAL ORDER Learned High Court Government Pleader takes notice for all the respondents. 2. The grievance of petitioner is that there is a mistake in the order passed by the Land Tribunal at Annexure-B in proceedings bearing No.LRF(INA)272/1980- 81 dated 20.09.1982 inasmuch as the extent of land where occupancy rights are conferred in favour of Smt.Thippakka W/o Muthappa (wrongly shown as Smt.Thimmakka W/o Muthappa) is to an extent of 1 acre 14 guntas instead of 2 acres. In that regard, the petitioner - 3 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:37952 WP No. 13004 of 2024 has approached the Tahsildar, Yelahanka Taluk, to seek rectification and the Tahsildar has issued the impugned endorsement at Annexure-D dated 29.12.2023 that it is not within the powers of the Tahsildar to make such a correction, and therefore he has granted liberty to the petitioner to approach the competent authority. 3. This Court does not see any infirmity in the endorsement issued by the Thasildar. The order at Annexure-B is passed by the Land Tribunal and therefore it is only the Land Tribunal which can correct or modify the order. If it is the contention of the petitioner that the land tribunal does not exist as of date, then the petitioner may either approach the Appellate Authority or any other Competent Authority in terms of the amended provisions of the Karnataka Land Reforms Act, 1966. With these observations, the writ petition stands disposed of. - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:37952 WP No. 13004 of 2024 Learned High Court Government Pleader is permitted to file memo of appearance within a period of four weeks from today.
