JUSTICE E.S.INDIRESH ORAL ORDER Learned Additional Government Advocate accepts notice for the respondents No.1 to 3. 2. In this writ petition, petitioner is assailing the order dated 25.02.2026 (Annexure-F), passed by the respondent No.1 - Deputy Commissioner and order dated 11.06.2024 (Annexure-E) passed by the respondent No.2- Assistant Commissioner. - 3 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010469432026 NC: 2026:KHC:36079 WP No. 21251 of 2026 3. Having heard the learned counsel appearing for the parties and on careful consideration of the impugned order passed by the respondent - authorities, would indicate that the petitioner is challenging the M.R.No.27/1994-95 after 29 years and respondent No.4 claims to be the son of K.Kenchappa, who is brother of petitioner's father. 4. In that view of the matter, as the petitioner has slept over 29 years, without there being challenging the MR No.27/1994-95, I am of the view that, it is open for the petitioner to establish her right over the property in question before the competent civil court in a manner known to Law. With these observations, the petition is accordingly, rejected. SD/- (E.S.INDIRESH) JUDGE KLY; List No.: 1 Sl No.: 39
