Heard Sri. Nataraja G., learned counsel appearing for the petitioners and Sri. Aditya Diwakara, learned Additional Government Advocate appearing for the respondent-State/ 3. In this writ petition, the petitioners are assailing the impugned notice dated 10.09.2026 (Annexure- F) issued by the respondent No.3-Tahsildar. 4. This court, vide order dated 24.08.2026 in W.P.No.26512 of 2026 (Annexure-E), at paragraph No.7 has directed the respondent Nos. 3 and 4 therein to conduct spot inspection and survey in respect of subject land on 29.09.2026 at 11:00 a.m., and thereafter, take decision in accordance with law, however, perusal of the impugned notice at Annexure-F would indicate that the eviction proceedings has been initiated against the petitioners. Therefore, I am of the opinion that, respondent No.3 has misconstrued the order passed by this court at Annexure-E and the same would indicate the non-application of - 4 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010662392026 NC: 2026:KHC:52203 WP No. 30205 of 2026 mind by the respondent No.3. Accordingly, the impugned notice dated 10.09.2026 (Annexure-F) is set aside and the writ petition stands allowed. 5. Respondent Nos.3 and 4 are directed to conduct spot inspection and survey on 11:00 a.m., on 29.09.2026 in the presence of the petitioners and thereafter, take action in furtherance of the same, if there is any encroachment.
