JUSTICE E.S.INDIRESH ORAL ORDER In this petition, petitioner is assailing the order dated 20.02.2017 in R.A.(H0)No.248/2014-15 passed by respondent No.3 (Annexure-K) and order dated 24.06.2019 (Annexure-L) in R.P. No.99/2017 passed by the respondent No.2. 2. Sri. Prakash T Hebbar, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner, made an allegation that the respondent No.4 herein has passed two orders, one which is in favour of the petitioner and the other one in favour of the respondent No.7 and therefore, as the matter is arising out of the same order and passed on the same day with regard to taking different stand by respondent No.4 and accordingly, sought for interference of this Court. - 4 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010258442019 NC: 2026:KHC:38859 WP No. 38797 of 2019 3. Per contra, Sri. K Seenappa, learned counsel appearing for respondent No.7 submitted that he has received the certified copy from the competent authority pursuant to the decision taken by respondent No.4 and therefore, as the certified copy has been issued and therefore the said order passed by respondent No. 4 is genuine, and not the one which is claimed by the petitioner. Therefore, sought for dismissal of the petition. 4. Learned AGA Smt. B P Radha, produced the original records. 5. Having heard the learned counsel appearing for the parties and on careful consideration of the observation made by both respondent Nos. 2 and 3 in the impugned orders as well as the perusal of the original records produced by learned AGA would indicate that there are two orders passed by the same authority, one which is allowing the petition and another dismissing the petition as to the change of entries concerned. - 5 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010258442019 NC: 2026:KHC:38859 WP No. 38797 of 2019 6. In that view of the matter, the action taken by respondent No.4 is hereby deprecated by this Court and respondent No.4 is hereby warned not to take such contra decisions insofar as the litigants are concerned. Accordingly, I pass the following: ORDER i) Writ petition is allowed. ii) The impugned orders passed by the respondent Nos. 3 and 2 produced at Annexures K and L respectively, are hereby set aside. iii) The matter is remitted to respondent No.4 to reconsider the issue afresh, after offering opportunity of hearing to the petitioner as well as respondent No.7 and thereafter take a decision in the matter in accordance with law, in the light of the observation made hereinabove. - 6 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010258442019 NC: 2026:KHC:38859 WP No. 38797 of 2019 iv) In order to expedite the matter, the petitioner and the respondent No.7 are directed to appear before the respondent No. 4 on 24.08.2026. v) The respondent No.4 shall take a decision in the matter in accordance with law. vi) It is also open for the parties to file any material/documents before respondent No.4 if so, advised.
