SPOORTHY HEGDE .N, HCGP FOR R1 TO R3; SRI. R. SHASHIDHARA, ADVOCATE FOR R4, R5, R7 TO R9;) THIS W.P. IS FILED UNDER ARTICLES NO. 226 AND 227 OF THE CONSTITUTION OF INDIA, PRAYING TO QUASH THE ORDER IMPUGNED MR NO. M.R.3/2000-01 DATED 25.04.2000 PASSED BY THE R-3 AT ANNEXURE-E AND ETC. THIS PETITION, COMING ON FOR PRELIMINARY HEARING, THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER: CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE E.S.INDIRESH ORAL ORDER In this writ petition, the petitioners are assailing M.R.No.3/2000-01 dated 25.04.2000 (Annexure-E) passed by respondent No.3, the order dated 15.03.2019 (Annexure-F) passed by respondent No.2, and the order dated 30.01.2024 (Annexure-G) passed by respondent No.1. 2. Having heard the learned counsel appearing for the parties, it is noticed that the petitioners are claiming right over the property in question based on the - 4 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010330482025 NC: 2026:KHC:45902 WP No. 14567 of 2025 registered sale deed dated 12.11.1951. On the other hand, the name of the private respondents are entered in the revenue records pursuant to MR No.3/2000-01. 3. Taking into consideration the fact that the petitioners are claiming their right over the land in question after a lapse of 70 years, I am of the view that the findings recorded by both the authorities, relegating the petitioners to establish their right over the land in question before the competent Civil Court, are just and proper. Accordingly, no interference is called for in this writ petition. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. Sd/- (E.S.INDIRESH) JUDGE NBM List No.: 1 Sl No.: 24
