THESE WRIT PETITIONS ARE COMING ON FOR PRELIMINARY HEARING 'B' GROUP, THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER: CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE E.S.INDIRESH ORAL ORDER Heard the learned counsel appearing for the parties. 2. In this writ petition, the petitioners have assailed the order dated 23.03.2021 passed by the respondent No.2 in R. P. No.5/2018 (Annexure-L) and order dated 09.10.2017 in R.A. No.79/2015-16 (Annexure-K) by respondent No.3. - 8 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010215362021 NC: 2026:KHC:37650 WP No. 11055 of 2021 C/W WP No. 9742 of 2021 3. It is contended by the learned counsel appearing for the petitioners that the petitioners have purchased the land bearing Sy.No.65/1 at Adaganahalli Village, Hebbalu Hobli, K.R.Nagara Taluk, Mysuru, and that the revenue entries stand in the name of the petitioners and therefore the finding recorded by both the respondent-authorities is incorrect and as such sought for interference of this Court. In this regard, he referred to the RTC extracts at Annexure-D and submitted that the land in question is not a tank area and therefore sought for interference by this Court. 4. Per contra, learned AGA sought to justify the impugned orders and submitted that in respect of the land bearing Survey No.65/1 of Adaganahalli village, Hebbalu Hobli, K.R.Nagara Taluk, Mysuru, is a government tank and therefore, the finding recorded by both the authorities requires to be confirmed. 5. In the light of the submission made by the learned counsel appearing for the parties and on careful consideration of the material on record would indicate that, the land in - 9 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010215362021 NC: 2026:KHC:37650 WP No. 11055 of 2021 C/W WP No. 9742 of 2021 question bearing Survey No.65/1 of Adaganahalli village, Hebbalu Hobli, K.R.Nagara Taluk, Mysuru, to an extent of 11.09 acres is a government land as per the Survey Report, Village Map, Kethwari Register and Akarband records. It is also to be noted from the registered sale deed dated 25.09.1930 (Annexure A1), the property purchased by the petitioners is land bearing survey No.65/1 and not survey No.65/2. 6. In that view of the matter, which clearly establishes that Survey No.65/2 is a Government tank and therefore the findings recorded by the respondent-authorities do not suffer from any illegality or infirmity warranting interference under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. Accordingly, the findings of the respondent-authorities are confirmed, and I find no merit in the writ petition. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. However, it is made clear that it is open to the petitioners to establish their title, if any, over the property before the competent Civil Court in manner known to law. 7. In view of the dismissal of WP No.11055/2021, the WP.No.9742/2021, is hereby dismissed as the land in question - 10 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010215362021 NC: 2026:KHC:37650 WP No. 11055 of 2021 C/W WP No. 9742 of 2021 as per the revenue records is a government tank and therefore the prayer made in the petition does not call for consideration.
