Consequently, sought for confirming the order dated 12.03.2025 in RA (A) No.966/2024 passed by respondent No.2 (Annexure B). 2. Having heard the learned counsel appearing for the parties and on careful consideration of writ papers would indicate that, the petitioner is claiming the right over the property based on the registered sale deed dated 11.05.2023 in respect of the subject land. 3. The said aspect of the matter was rightly considered by the Assistant Commissioner, Bangalore South Sub-Division, Bengaluru, while passing the order at Annexure B dated 12.03.2025. However, the same was, erroneously interfered with by respondent No.1 at Annexure-A in the impugned order. Therefore, I find force in the submission made by the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner that, the revenue authorities have no jurisdiction to decide the title in respect of the land in question. Accordingly, I pass the following; - 4 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010298922026 NC: 2026:KHC:39380 WP No. 13929 of 2026 ORDER (i) Writ petition is allowed.

(iii) Respondent No.3 is directed to enter the name of the petitioner in the revenue records forthwith. (iv) It is made clear that, it is open for the private respondents herein to establish their right over the property in question in a manner known to them.
