THIS APPEAL, COMING ON FOR ORDERS, THIS DAY, JUDGMENT WAS DELIVERED THEREIN AS UNDER: - 3 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:32416-DB WA No. 1306 of 2023 CORAM: HON'BLE MRS. JUSTICE ANU SIVARAMAN and HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE VENKATESH NAIK T ORAL JUDGMENT (PER: HON'BLE MRS. JUSTICE ANU SIVARAMAN) Heard the learned Senior Counsel appearing for the appellants, the learned counsel appearing for the private respondents, and the learned Government Advocate. 2. The learned Senior Counsel appearing for the appellants submits that the appellants were parties to the suit as well as the second appeals filed against the judgment and decree dated 29.08.2020, which is relied upon by the writ petitioners to seek mutation in the revenue entries. It is submitted that, since the appeals are admittedly pending, the filing of the writ petition without impleading the appellants herein as parties and seeking directions to the revenue authorities to effect mutation on the basis of the decree, which is the subject matter of the appeals, was unwarranted. 3. Having considered the contentions advanced, we notice that the learned Single Judge has directed only the consideration of the representation preferred by the writ petitioners. However, it is to be noticed that, as against the - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:32416-DB WA No. 1306 of 2023 judgment and decree dated 29.08.2020, RSA Nos.124/2021 and 125/2021 are pending, and RSA No.956/2021 filed by respondent No.5 herein is also pending. It is in the meanwhile that the aforesaid directions have been obtained. We are of the opinion that, since the question of title itself is pending in the Regular Second Appeals, the direction for considering the request for mutation will have to await the result of the RSAs. 4. In the above view of the matter, the appeal is disposed of by directing that the representations shall be considered in terms of the result of the RSAs pending against the judgment and decree dated 29.08.2020. The judgment of the learned Single Judge is modified accordingly. Pending interlocutory applications shall stand disposed of.
