The petitioner is claiming right over the land based on the grant order dated 02.06.1966 (Annexure - D) wherein the land to an extent of 3 acres 19 guntas was granted in favour of Jairam - father of the petitioner herein.

No.24/1, 26 and 36 of Sominakoppa Village, Shivamogga Taluk has been acquired for the purpose of construction of the respondent No.4 - Veterinary College. However, the case of the petitioner is that, the land bearing Sy.134 of Kotegangur Village of Shivamogga Taluk has been granted in favour of the father of petitioner as per Annexure-G.
