JUSTICE E.S.INDIRESH - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:32073 WP No. 19198 of 2026 ORAL ORDER 1. Learned HCGP accepts notice for respondent Nos.1 to 3. 2. In this petition, the petitioners are assailing the order dated 26.03.2026 in Revision Petition No.53/2025 (Annexure-A) passed by the respondent No.1. 3. Having heard the learned counsel appearing for the parties and on careful consideration of the same would indicate that the mutation has been made in favour of one Kariyappa on 05.01.2012 (Annexure-F). 4. In that view of the matter, I am of the view that as the Khatha has been made on 16.02.2012, the petitioners are claiming right over the property in question, and therefore, it is open for the petitioners to establish their rights over the property in question before a competent civil court, thereafter, approach the competent revenue authorities for change of Khata in respect of the subject land. - 5 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:32073 WP No. 19198 of 2026 5. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. Sd/- (E.S.INDIRESH) JUDGE HA LIST NO.: 1 SL NO.: 39
