JUSTICE R DEVDAS ORAL ORDER Learned Additional Government Advocate takes notice for all the respondents. 2. The grievance of the petitioner is that respondent No.4-Tahsildar, Devanahalli Taluk, has not acted upon the representation at Annexure-F dated 09.05.2025 given by the - 3 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:2167 WP No. 915 of 2026 petitioner. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that in the representation, the petitioner has stated that the Committee for Regularisation of Unauthorised Occupation has taken a decision on 06.08.1994 to grant 1 acre 10 guntas of land in Survey No. 87 of Uganawadi Village, Kasaba Hobli Devanalli Taluk in favour of the petitioner. Thereafter, saguvali chit was also issued in favour of the petitioner on 05.05.1998. Nevertheless, the name of the petitioner is not entered in the revenue records. 3. Having regard to the contentions raised by the petitioner, this Court is of the considered opinion that the respondent-Tahsildar, is required to consider the representation given by the petitioner and pass necessary orders. 4. Consequently, the writ petition stands disposed of with a direction to respondent No.4-Tahsildar, Devanahalli Taluk, to verify from the records as to whether the Committee for regularisation of unauthorised occupation passed an order and whether saguvali chit was already issued in favour of the petitioner. If it is found that these facts are genuine, then it - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:2167 WP No. 915 of 2026 would be the bounden duty of the Tahsildar to proceed to enter the name of the petitioner in the revenue records. 5. The entire exercise shall be completed as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Learned Additional Government Advocate is permitted to file memo of appearance within a period of two weeks from today. Sd/- (R DEVDAS) JUDGE rv List No.: 1 Sl No.: 16
