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 Learned Additional Government Advocate accepts notice for respondents No.1 to 3. 2. Respondent No.4/caveator is represented by learned counsel, Sri Shankar H S. 3. In this writ petition, the petitioner is assailing the order dated 03.03.2023 (Annexure-J) passed by - 3 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010623952026 NC: 2026:KHC:50339 WP No. 28665 of 2026 respondent No.2 and order dated 11.03.2025 (Annexure- M) passed by respondent No.1. 4. Having heard the learned counsel appearing for the parties, the petitioner is claiming right over the property based on the registered sale deed dated 08.11.1966, made in favour of the father-in-law of the petitioner, Rayi Gowda. Thereafter, MR No.33/91-92 was made in respect of the subject land in favour of the father- in-law of the petitioner. Respondent No. 4 herein has challenged MR No.19/91-92 under Section 136(2) of the Karnataka Land Revenue Act, 1964 before the respondent No.2. 5. It is the case of the petitioner that, petitioner is no way concerned with MR No.19/91-92. In that view of the matter, on careful consideration of the mutation in MR No.33/91-92 (Annexure - C), wherein the entry has been made in favour of the father-in-law of the petitioner herein, I am of the view that, both the Authorities have - 4 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010623952026 NC: 2026:KHC:50339 WP No. 28665 of 2026 committed an error in allowing the claim made by the respondent No.4 herein. In that view of the matter, it is a fit case to remit the matter to the respondent No.2 for fresh consideration. Hence I pass the following ORDER i) The writ petition is allowed. ii) The order dated 03.03.2023 (Annexure J) passed by respondent No.2 and order dated 11.03.2025 (Annexure - M) passed by respondent No.1 are hereby set aside. iii) The matter is remitted to respondent No.2 for fresh consideration in the light of the observations made above. iv) Since the parties are represented through the learned counsel, the parties are directed to appear before the respondent No.2 on 26.10.2026 at 3.00 p.m. SD/- (E.S.INDIRESH) JUDGE BKM List No.: 1 Sl No.: 33
