The present intra-Court appeal has been filed impugning the order dated 28.04.2025 passed by the learned Single Judge in W.P No.6231/2025. 2. The parties are referred to as per their ranking before the Writ Court for the sake of convenience. 3. The petitioners who are the appellants herein had filed the writ petition challenging the order of mutation made on the basis of the registered Will dated 20.07.1992 before the Assistant Commissioner who dismissed the appeal and a revision filed against the dismissal of the appeal also came to be dismissed. 4. The registered Will has not been cancelled in any of the proceedings till date. The registered Will in favour of Sri. Srinivas was executed by Venkatarayappa, who died issueless. One of the petitioners filed the suit claiming the right, title and interest over the estate left behind by - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:3548-DB WA No. 1138 of 2025 Venkatarayappa on the ground that he was adopted son and the suit got dismissed. 5.

If the parties are before the Civil Court, the mutation entries would be subject to the final outcome of the proceedings pending before the Civil Court. 6.
