THESE PETITIONS, COMING ON FOR ORDERS, THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER: CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE E.S.INDIRESH ORAL ORDER 1. In these writ petitions, the petitioners have assailed the impugned endorsement dated 17.04.2025 passed by respondent No.2 and have further sought a direction to the respondents-authority to consider the representation of the respective petitioners. 2. Having taken note of the submission made by the learned counsel appearing for the petitioners and learned AGA, and upon careful consideration of impugned endorsement issued by the respondent No.2, it would indicate that, there is no document to show, insofar as the land grant made in favour of the respective grantees is concerned. - 10 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:31381 WP No. 19311 of 2025 C/W WP No. 18001 of 2025 WP No. 18007 of 2025 AND 5 OTHERS 3. In this regard, the learned AGA made available the Government Order dated 25.11.2024 relating to the conduct of Darakhastu Podi and Durasti in respect of lands pertaining to the Form Nos.1 to 5 and 6 to 10. 4. In that view of the matter, I am of the view that, the impugned endorsement dated 17.04.2025 passed by respondent No.2 is liable to be quashed. 5. Accordingly, the writ petitions are allowed and a direction is issued to respondent No.2 and the jurisdictional ADLR, insofar as the subject land is concerned, to take a decision in the matters in terms of the Government Order dated 25.11.2024 and to build the missing records by the Competent Committee which is to be constituted by the respondents-authority.
