the revenue records and to prevent entry of the name of the petitioner in the revenue records have been set at naught at the hands of this Court, which was confirmed at the hands of the Hon'ble Division Bench and thereafter, at the hands of the Hon'ble Supreme Court.

preventing the petitioner from getting the partition deed executed and registered in the office of the Sub Registrar. Accordingly, the Tahsildar and the concerned Sub Registrar are present before this court. 3.

Having regard to the admitted fact that the SLP filed by the State of Karnataka and others against the petitioners herein in SLP(Civil) No.63603/2025 was dismissed by the Hon'ble Supreme Court on 21.11.2025, it was the duty of the competent authority, whether it is the Deputy Commissioner, Assistant Commissioner or the Tahsildar to remove all such restrictions from the system. Any further delay at the hands of the concerned respondent authorities, to remove the restriction put in the system will have to be viewed very seriously. - 5 -
