JUSTICE E.S.INDIRESH ORAL ORDER 1. In this Writ Petition, petitioners are assailing the order dated 31.08.2026 in R.P.No.310/2024-25 (Annexure-A) passed by respondent No.2, inter alia, sought to set aside the order dated 18.03.2016 in case No.RA(Be)72/2015-16 (Annexure-T) passed by respondent No.3. 2. Sri. Naga Reddy V., learned counsel appearing for the petitioners, contended that the petitioners are claiming right over the property based on the order passed by the Land Tribunal in LRF(B)DS924/1975-76 and accordingly submitted that the mutation has been properly made in terms of the order passed by the Land Tribunal in the name of the father of the petitioners – Chandraiah, however, same has been interfered with by the respondent-authorities without considering the said aspect of the matter and also referred to the Annexure-S endorsement dated 14.03.2016, wherein the endorsement has - 5 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010644412026 NC: 2026:KHC:52898 WP No. 29404 of 2026 been made that there is no Form-10 and other details in the office of the Land Tribunal, and therefore it is submitted that the reasons assigned by the respondent – authorities requires to be interfered with in this Writ Petition. 3. Per contra, Sri. A. Ravishankar, learned counsel appearing on behalf of respondent No.5, contended that petitioners herein have preferred suit in O.S.No.161/2019 before the competent Civil Court and matter has been posted for final arguments and therefore as the suit is filed by the petitioners seeking relief of declaration and consequential reliefs is pending consideration, and therefore, the Writ Petition does not survive for consideration. 4. Sri. Shamanth Naik, learned Additional Government Advocate appearing for the respondent Nos.1 to 4, sought to justify the impugned order passed by the respondent- authorities. 5. In the light of the submissions made by the learned counsel appearing for the parties and on careful consideration of the reasons assigned by the respondent-authorities would - 6 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010644412026 NC: 2026:KHC:52898 WP No. 29404 of 2026 indicate that as the Tahsildar, Bengaluru East Taluk has stated before the respondent-authorities that there are no records pertaining to the proceedings in LRF(B)DS924/1975-76 based on which petitioners are claiming right over the subject land and further, as there is cloud in respect of the land in question and as there is suit in O.S.No.161/2019 which is at the stage of final arguments before the Civil Court, I am of the view that, no interference is called for in this Writ Petition. 6. However, it is open for the petitioners to approach the respondent-authorities after conclusion of the proceedings in O.S.No.169/2019. 7. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed.
