Having heard the learned counsel appearing for the parties, I have carefully considered the finding recorded by the respondent No.2 in the impugned order, wherein the Revision Petition filed by the petitioner came to be dismissed holding that the revenue entries in terms of M.R.No.9/1986-87 and M.R.No.10/1986-87 have been effected based on the registered Sale Deed dated 27th November, 1986 and the dispute in - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:28757 WP NO.15108 OF 2026 respect of title of the subject land, if any, shall be decided before the competent Civil Court. On perusal of the impugned order, it is also forthcoming that the Original Suit No.7 of 2011 preferred by the petitioner against the respondents 5 and 6 herein, seeking relief of declaration and possession in respect of the subject land came to be dismissed before the Civil Judge and Additional JMFC., Trikere, by judgment and decree dated 11th December, 2019. In that view of the matter, the finding recorded by the respondent No.2 in the impugned order is just and proper. Therefore, no interference be called for in this petition. Accordingly, writ petition is dismissed. SD/- (E.S. INDIRESH) JUDGE ARK List No.: 1 Sl No.: 9
