JUSTICE E.S.INDIRESH ORAL ORDER 1. In this Writ Petition, petitioners are challenging the notice dated 09.09.2026 (Annexure-A) issued by respondent No.2 to conduct survey in respect of land in question and to remove encroachment if any in the channel (kaluve) in land bearing Sy.No.137 to 140 of Thimmasandra Village, Ambaji Durga Hobli, Chintamani Taluk, Chikkaballapura District. 2. It is contended by Sri. Mahesh L., learned counsel appearing for the petitioners, by referring to the notice bearing No.N.C.R.CR/E-/2025-26/81 dated ../04/2026 (Annexure-H), issued to petitioner No.1, wherein it is stated that the survey will be made as per the re-classification of Map and accordingly, sought for interference of this Court. 3. Per contra, Sri. Shamanth Naik, learned Additional Government Advocate appearing for respondent Nos.1 to 3, submitted that as the respondent-authorities have taken steps to remove the encroachment in the channel (kaluve) and therefore contended that, the Writ Petition is premature. - 5 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010661882026 NC: 2026:KHC:52895 WP No. 30288 of 2026 4. In the light of the submissions made by the learned counsel appearing for the parties and on careful consideration of the impugned notice would indicate that the notice dated 09.09.2026 has been issued by respondent No.2 to conduct survey in respect of the land bearing Sy.No.137 to 140 of Thimmasandra Village, Ambaji Durga Hobli, Chintamani Taluk. 5. Taking into consideration the reasons assigned in the impugned notice, wherein the respondent-authorities have sought to remove encroachment if any over the channel which runs through the aforementioned survey Numbers, I am of the view that, no interference is called for in this Writ Petition. However, if the petitioners are aggrieved of any adverse orders by the respondent-authorities, it is open for them to challenge the same in a manner known to law. 6. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed. Sd/- (E.S.INDIRESH) JUDGE sac List No.: 1 Sl No.: 43
