THIS PETITION, COMING ON FOR ORDERS, THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER: CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE R DEVDAS ORAL ORDER Learned High Court Government Pleader is directed to take notice for all the respondents. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that consequent to the orders of the Committee for regularisation of unauthorized occupation recommending grant of their respective lands in Sy.No.81 of Kotiganahalli Village, Huttur Hobli, Kolar Taluk, and grant certificates being issued thereof, the names of the petitioners were - 5 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:32500 WP No. 13318 of 2024 entered in the land revenue records and the petitioners have been in possession of the land in question. However after computerisation, the names of the petitioners are missing from the land revenue records. In this regard, the petitioners have made several representations to the 2nd respondent-Tahsildar, Kolar Taluk, Kolar to re-enter the names of the petitioners in the land revenue records. However, no orders have been passed by the respondent- Tahsildar till date and therefore the petitioners have approached this Court seeking a direction to the respondent-Tahsildar to enter the name of the petitioners in the computerised land revenue records. 3. After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioners, the learned High Court Government Pleader and on perusing the petition papers, this Court finds from the material on record that the names of the petitioners were earlier entered in the land revenue records. However, if the Tahsildar is of the opinion that the petitioners have not been granted lands, nevertheless, it is - 6 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:32500 WP No. 13318 of 2024 the duty of the Tahsildar to secure the original grant records, Saguvali Chit issue register and other contemporaneous records to satisfy himself regarding the grant made in favour of the petitioners. Moreover, there is no reason why the names of the petitioners which were earlier entered in the land revenue records has been continued after computerization, the Tahsildar is duty bound to look into all these aspects and pass necessary orders. 4. Consequently, this writ petition stands disposed of with a specific direction to the 2nd respondent -Tahsildar to consider the representations given by the petitioners and in the light of the observations made hereinabove, verify the original records and pass necessary orders to enter the names of the petitioners in the land revenue records as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within a period of two months from the date of receipt of copy of this order. - 7 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:32500 WP No. 13318 of 2024 5. Learned High Court Government Pleader is permitted to file memo of appearance within a period of four weeks from today. Sd/- (R DEVDAS) JUDGE rv CT: UR
