THIS PETITION, COMING ON FOR PRELIMINARY HEARING, THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER: CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE E.S.INDIRESH ORAL ORDER Learned AGA accepts notice for Respondent nos.1 and 2. - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:26748 WP No. 16477 of 2026 2. In this writ petition, the petitioners are assailing the Endorsement dated 31.01.2026 issued by 2nd respondent in respect of the proceedings in the appeal No. RACR 62/2026 which is produced at Annexure-N. 3. Having taken note of the submissions made by learned counsel for the parties, the aggrieved parties therein have assailed the order passed by the Tahsildar in M.R.No.6/2012, MR No.H15-2023 and MR T18/2024-25 before Respondent No.2. It is the duty of Respondent No.2 to issue notice to respondents therein and thereafter pass orders after calling for records from the competent authority. Without doing so, the impugned endorsement issued by Respondent No.2 is incorrect and contrary to the provisions under the Karnataka Land Revenue Act, 1964. 4. In that view of the matter, I find force in the arguments advanced by the learned counsel appearing for the petitioners and as such the Endorsement dated 31.01.2026 (Annexure-N) is hereby quashed and the matter is remitted to Respondent No.2 to re-hear the appeal on merits and pass appropriate orders as stated above. - 5 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:26748 WP No. 16477 of 2026 Notice to Respondent Nos.3 to 8 is dispensed with. Accordingly writ petition is allowed. SD/- (E.S.INDIRESH) JUDGE SNB List No.: 1 Sl No.: 45
