JUSTICE R DEVDAS ORAL ORDER Learned Additional Government Advocate is directed to take notice for all the respondents. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that consequent to the orders of the Committee for regularisation of unauthorized occupation recommending grant of 3 acres 30 guntas of land in Sy.No.10 of Boodihala Village, Kasaba Hobli, Devanahalli Taluk, Bengaluru Rural District, and a grant certificate being issued on 09.10.1983, the name of the petitioner was entered in the land revenue records and the petitioner has been cultivating the land in question. However after computerisation, the name of the petitioner is missing from the land revenue records. In this regard, the petitioner has made several representations to the respondent-Tahsildar, Devanahalli Taluk to re-enter the - 3 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:1316 WP No. 21713 of 2025 name of the petitioner in the land revenue records. However, no orders have been passed by the respondent- Tahsildar till date and therefore the petitioner has approached this Court seeking a direction to the respondent-Tahsildar to enter the name of the petitioner in the computerised land revenue records. 3. After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner, the learned Additional Government Advocate and on perusing the petition papers, this Court finds from the material on record that the name of the petitioner was earlier entered in the land revenue records. However, if the Tahsildar is of the opinion that the petitioner has not been granted lands, nevertheless, it is the duty of the Tahsildar to secure the original grant records, Saguvali Chit issue register and other contemporaneous records to satisfy himself regarding the grant made in favour of the petitioner. Moreover, there is no reason why the name of the petitioner which was earlier entered in the land revenue records has been continued after computerization, - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:1316 WP No. 21713 of 2025 the Tahsildar is duty bound to look into all these aspects and pass necessary orders. 4. Consequently, this writ petition stands disposed of with a specific direction to the respondent - Tahsildar to consider the representations given by the petitioner and in the light of the observations made hereinabove, verify the original records and pass necessary orders to enter the name of the petitioner in the land revenue records as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within a period of two months from the date of receipt of copy of this order. 5. Learned Additional Government Advocate is permitted to file memo of appearance within a period of four weeks from today. Sd/- (R DEVDAS) JUDGE KLY CT: JL
