THIS PETITION COMING ON FOR ORDES, THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER: CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE E.S.INDIRESH ORAL ORDER Smt. B.P. Radha, learned Additional Government Advocate accepts notice for respondents 1 to 5. 2. In this petition, petitioners are challenging the order dated 27th February, 2024 (Annexure-A) passed by the respondent No.3 in Case No.R.A.(DE):537/2022-23. 3. Heard Sri. Jayasimha K.P., learned counsel appearing for petitioners and Smt. B.P. Radha, learned Additional Government Advocate appearing for respondents 1 to 5. 4. Sri. Jayasimha K.P., learned counsel appearing for petitioners contended that the petitioners acquired the land in question in terms of the order passed by the Land Tribunal, - 6 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010540372026 NC: 2026:KHC:42597 WP NO.24471 OF 2026 Devanahalli during the year 1974-75 and therefore, remanding the matter to the respondent No.4-Tahsildar by the respondent No.3-Assistant Commissioner in the impugned order is not just and proper. Accordingly, he sought for interference of this Court. 5. Per contra, Smt. B.P. Radha, learned Additional Government Advocate appearing for respondents 1 to 5 sought to justify the impugned order passed by the respondent No.3. 6. In the light of submission made by learned counsel appearing for the parties, on careful perusal of the impugned order, the same would indicate that the respondent No.3- Assistant Commissioner had remitted the matter to the respondent No.4-Tahsildar to verify the original records pertaining to the grant of land made in favour of petitioners in terms of the order passed by the Land Tribunal and thereafter, take decision in the matter in respect of entering the name of petitioners in the revenue records. In that view of the matter, I am of the view that, there is no perversity in the impugned order dated 27th February, 2024 (Annexure-A) passed by the respondent No.3 in Case No.R.A.(DE):537/2022-23. Therefore, - 7 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010540372026 NC: 2026:KHC:42597 WP NO.24471 OF 2026 no interference be called for in this petition. Accordingly, writ petition is dismissed. 7. It is open for the petitioners to supply any documents to the respondent No.4-Tahsildar to enable the said authority to take decision in the matter. SD/- (E.S.
