JUSTICE E.S.INDIRESH ORAL ORDER Learned AGA accepts notice for respondent Nos.1, 2 and 4. 2. In this writ petition, petitioner is assailing the order dated 13.09.2024 (Annexure-A) passed in Appeal No.60/2023-24, inter alia, sought for direction to respondent No.2 to cancel phodi and durast in respect of the land in question. - 3 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010258222026 NC: 2026:KHC:37713 WP No. 11783 of 2026 3. It is contended by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the earlier, podi and durast has been made without issuing notice to the petitioner. Accordingly, sought for interference by this Court. 4. Per contra, learned AGA submitted that, the petitioner has approached the competent authority after a lapse of 12 years from the original podi and durast made in respect of the subject land. Accordingly, sought for dismissal of the writ petition. 5. Having taken note of the submissions made by the learned counsel appearing for the parties and on careful consideration of the impugned order, it would indicate that, the petitioner sought to revive the podi and durast made on 18.03.2012, after a lapse of 12 years. 6. In that view of the matter, taking into consideration the provision contained in Section 56(3) of the Karnataka Land Revenue Act, 1964, the petition cannot be accepted. - 4 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010258222026 NC: 2026:KHC:37713 WP No. 11783 of 2026 7. Accordingly, I do not find any merit in the case, to interfere with the well-reasoned order passed by the respondent - Authorities. Accordingly, the petition is dismissed.
