It is the contention of the petitioner that his father was granted 4 acres of land in Survey No. 59, Block-1, situated at the Chikkakooliga Village, Sulibele Hobli, Hoskote Taluk, on 13.04.1979. It is contended that pursuant to the grant, Saguvalichit, as found at Annexure-D was also issued in favour - 3 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:4063 WP No. 1879 of 2026 of the petitioner's father on 13.04.1979. However, his name was not entered in the revenue records. The petitioner has given a representation at Annexure-J on 27.06.2025 seeking mutation entry in the revenue records pursuant to the grant made in favour of the petitioner's father. However, it is submitted that without considering the representation, the respondent authorities are now threatening to dispossess the petitioner. 3. Consequently, the writ petition stands disposed of, with a specific direction to respondent No.2-Tahsildar, Hoskote Taluk, to verify from the records the genuineness of the claim made by the petitioner. If it is found that such a grant was indeed made in favour of the petitioner's father and a saguvalichit was already issued, then the Tahsildar shall proceed to enter the name of the legal heirs of late Sri.C. Marishamappa, in the revenue records. At any rate, till such exercise is undertaken and appropriate orders are passed by the Tahsildar, no precipitative action shall be taken against the petitioner to dispossess the petitioner from the lands in question. The entire exercise shall be completed as - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:4063 WP No. 1879 of 2026 expeditiously as possible and at any rate, within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
