THIS PETITION, COMING ON FOR ORDERS, THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER: - 3 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:34353 WP No. 31652 of 2025 CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE E.S.INDIRESH ORAL ORDER 1. In this Writ Petition, petitioner is assailing the Order dated 21.08.2025 in R.P.No.475/2023 (Annexure-A) passed by the respondent No.3. 2. Having taken note of the submissions made by the learned counsel appearing for the parties, the respondent No.3 has interfered with the order passed by respondent No.2 in respect of the modification of the khata in respect of the private respondents herein. It is to be noted that the petitioner and private respondents claim to be legal heirs of late Ashwathappa who died intestate. It is to be noted that O.S.No.475/2013 has been filed by one of the co-parceners in the family - Smt. Manjula and the said suit came to be disposed of by compromise decree dated 26.08.2017 (Annexure-B). It is the case of the petitioner that petitioner has filed application seeking recalling the aforesaid compromise decree as there is inequitable distribution of the property in question. - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:34353 WP No. 31652 of 2025 3. On the other hand, Sri. Harsha D. Joshi, learned counsel appearing for respondent Nos.4 to 6 submitted that Execution Petition No.16/2024 has been filed before the competent Civil Court to execute the compromise decree. Accordingly, taking into consideration that the dispute is pending between the petitioner as well as respondent Nos.4 to 6 who are the legal heirs of late Ashwathappa, I am of the view that, the impugned order passed by respondent No.3 at Annexure-A requires to be set aside. 4. Accordingly, I pass the following: ORDER (i) The Order dated 21.08.2025 in R.P.No.475/2023 passed by the respondent No.3 is set aside. (ii) The respondent No.1 is directed to enter the names of the children of late Ashwathappa i.e., petitioner as well as respondent Nos.4 to 6 in the mutation register in respect of the subject properties, in accordance with law.
