JUSTICE R DEVDAS ORAL ORDER Learned Additional Government Advocate takes notice for all the respondents. 2. The grievance of the petitioners is that the measurement shown in the RTC in terms of the sale deed dated 24.08.1970 in favour of the father of petitioner No.3 Late Sri Hosallachar @ Vasthalachar should have been 30’ x 130’. But in the RTC it is reflected as 30’ x 30’. When the petitioners approached the Tahasildar with a request to - 3 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:34077 WP No. 20395 of 2025 make such correction, the Tahasildar has issued the impugned endorsement at Annexure-M dated 05.02.2025 stating that such correction cannot be made by the said authority and the appropriate remedy would be for the petitioners to seek phodi and dhurast of the lands in question. 3. This Court does not see any infirmity in the impugned endorsement issued by the Tahasildar. The petitioners are at liberty to make an online application seeking phodi and dhurast and if such application is filed, the Tahasildar will place the same before the Assistant Director of Land Records while issuing notice to the neighbours before proceeding to make the correction. 4. With these observations, the writ petition stands disposed of. Sd/- (R DEVDAS) JUDGE KLY/-
