JUSTICE E.S.INDIRESH ORAL ORDER Heard the learned counsel appearing for the parties. 2. In this writ petition, the petitioner has assailed the order dated 05.02.2014 (Annexure–T) passed by respondent No. 2. 3. Having considered the submissions made by the learned counsel appearing for the parties, it is evident that the petitioner claims title over the schedule property on the strength of a registered Sale Deed dated 12.08.2004. It is also forthcoming from the records that respondent No. 6 had instituted O.S. No.8808/2007 seeking a declaration of title and consequential relief of possession. The said suit came to be dismissed by the Court of the XLII Additional City Civil and Sessions - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:32460 WP No. 55792 of 2014 Judge, Bengaluru. In that view of the matter, I am of the opinion that the findings recorded by respondent No. 2 cannot be sustained and is liable to be set aside. Accordingly, I pass the following: ORDER (i) The writ petition is allowed. (ii) The order dated 05.02.2014 (Annexure–T) passed by respondent No. 2 is hereby set aside. (iii) The respondent-authorities are directed to restore the mutation in favour of the petitioner forthwith. SD/- (E.S.INDIRESH) JUDGE SB List No.: 1 Sl No.: 2
