Learned counsel for the petitioner submits - 3 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:32487 WP No. 20591 of 2025 that petitioner had filed an application in Form No.53 for grant of land in Sy.No.202 to an extent of 1 acre and 8 guntas. Thereafter, the land was granted to the petitioner and the kimmath was paid by the petitioner pursuant to which, saguvali chit was issued to the petitioner on 25.06.2007. However, the name of the petitioner has not been entered in the land records. It is also contended by the petitioner that the lands have been notified and acquired at the hands of the Karnataka Industrial Area Development Board. However, since the name of the petitioner is not found in the revenue records, the compensation is not paid to the petitioner. 3. The writ petition stands disposed of with a direction to respondent No.2-Tahsildar, Ramanagara Taluk, to verify the records and find out whether land was granted in favour of the petitioner, kimmath was paid and whether Saguvali chit was issued in favour of the petitioner on 25.06.2007. If it is found from the records that the facts stated hereinabove are true, then the - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:32487 WP No. 20591 of 2025 Tahsildar shall proceed to mutate and enter the name of the petitioner in the revenue records, after collecting the necessary fee. The entire exercise shall be completed as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. This direction is issued only to enable the entry of the name of the petitioner in the revenue records or to issue an endorsement to the Special Land Acquisition Officer of the KIADB for payment of compensation. Ordered accordingly. Learned Additional Government Advocate is permitted to file memo of appearance within a period of four weeks from today. Sd/- (R DEVDAS) JUDGE rv CT: UR
