therein has been declared to be entitled to 1/6th share in the suit schedule property.
3. The counsel for the petitioner and respondent no.4 submit that if the khatha is transferred in terms of said decree, there would be no objection on the part of the petitioner and respondent no.4. However, they submit that Respondent No.3 has filed a Regular Appeal in R.A.No.61 of 2022 before the District Civil and Sessions Judge at Ramanagara, which is pending
consideration. If that be so, the khatha of the properties cannot be changed until finality is arrived at in the aforesaid litigation.
4. In view thereof, I am of the considered opinion that the respondent no.2 would have to enter the names of all the legal heirs of Sri.T.Thimmaiah who was the owner of the properties, subject to the penalty in the litigation between the legal heirs. As such, by directing Respondent No.2 to enter the names of all the legal heirs of Sri.T.Thimmaiah in the records
