the family members is in the matter of the revenue entries made in Survey No.13/4 of Kempathimmanahalli. The dispute is based on a settlement deed. However, it is the contention of the petitioners that pursuant to the unregistered settlement deed, the lands that fell to the share of the other members of the family have been registered in their names and they have sold the property. In the said settlement deed, although the property in question fell to the share of the petitioner, now after the other family members have sold the other properties and they are seeking to enter their names in respect of the property in question, although it does not belong to them.
Learned Senior Counsel submits that the interim prayer before the tribunal was for a stay of the orders passed by the Deputy Commissioner which has been rejected by the Tribunal. Learned Senior counsel submits that the apprehension of the petitioners is that the private respondents herein will alienate the property during the pendency of the proceedings before the Tribunal and therefore the interest of the petitioners should be protected. - 7 -
