In this Writ Petition, petitioner is challenging the notice dated 24.04.2026 (Annexure-J) passed by respondent No.2. - 3 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:35202 WP No. 16011 of 2026 3. Having taken note of the submissions made by the learned counsel appearing for the parties and on careful consideration of the material on record, would indicate that the impugned notice has been issued to the parties with regard to conducting phodi in respect of the subject land. 4. In this regard, Sri. Anil Shekar K.S., learned counsel appearing for the petitioner, submitted that, suit in O.S.No.330/2026 is filed by the petitioner seeking relief of declaration and consequential relief and in the said suit, respondent No.2 herein has been arrayed as a party. 5.

Raghunath, learned counsel appearing for the respondent No.3, submitted that respondent No.3 herein has filed O.S.No.194/2024 before the Civil Court seeking relief of permanent injunction in respect of the subject land. 6. In that view of the matter, I am of the view that, even if the phodi is conducted in subject land pursuant to Annexure-J, however, rights of the parties would be crystallised in the comprehensive suit in O.S.No.330/2026. Therefore, I am not inclined to interfere with the order passed by respondent No.2. - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:35202 WP No. 16011 of 2026 However, whatever action that may be passed by respondent No.2 pursuant to Annexure-J shall be subject to the right of the parties to be decided in O.S.No.330/2026 by the competent Civil Court. 7. With this observation, the Writ Petition is disposed of. 8. Pending application if any, does not survive for consideration. SD/- (E.S.INDIRESH) JUDGE sac List No.: 1 Sl No.: 23
