THIS PETITION, COMING ON FOR ORDERS, THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER: CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SACHIN SHANKAR MAGADUM ORAL ORDER The captioned writ petition is filed seeking for the following reliefs; "a) Issue a writ of certiorari to quash the Sale Deed dated 23.08.2024 registered as Doc.No.BYP-1-07803-2024-25 of Book No.1 registered in the Office of Sub-Registrar, Byatarayanapura in respect of Sy.

AND b) To grant such other relief or reliefs as this Hon'ble Court deems fit in the facts and - 6 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:16878 WP No. 25946 of 2025 circumstances of the case by allowing the above writ petition, in the interest of justice and equity." 2. On perusal of the prayer extracted supra, this Court finds that the petitioners have sought for quashing of a registered Sale Deed dated 23.08.2024 by invoking the writ jurisdiction under Articles 226 and 227 of the Constitution of India. Such a relief, in the considered opinion of this Court, is wholly misconceived and not maintainable in writ proceedings. 3. It is trite that disputes relating to title, validity of sale deeds and adjudication of civil rights require examination of facts and evidence, which can appropriately be undertaken only by a competent Civil Court. If the petitioners are aggrieved by the registration of the disputed sale deed by the jurisdictional Sub- Registrar, the proper and efficacious remedy available is to institute an appropriate civil suit seeking necessary declaratory and consequential reliefs. - 7 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:16878 WP No. 25946 of 2025 4. In that view of the matter, this Court declines to entertain the writ petition. Hence, the following: ORDER The writ petition stands disposed of, reserving liberty to the petitioners to avail efficacious alternative remedy by instituting an appropriate suit before the competent Civil Court, in accordance with law.
