The grievance of the petitioner is that the respondent-Tahsildar, Nagamangala Taluk, is not considering the application dated 05.07.2025, given by the petitioner at Annexure-D seeking to enter his name in the revenue records pertaining to Sy.No.25/2, of Kanchanahalli village, Belluru Hobli, Nagamangala Taluk. It is the contention of the petitioner that the petitioner’s father-Sri.Gangadhara Gowda purchased 1 Acre and 02 Guntas of land in Sy.No.25/2 under a registered sale deed dated 06.09.1939. Thereafter, the name of the petitioner's father was entered in the revenue records. The petitioner's father passed away in the year 1978 and the petitioner's mother also passed away in the year 1995. It is contented - 3 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:4244 WP No. 25445 of 2025 that the petitioner is the only legal heir left behind by Sri.Gangadhara Gowda and his wife Smt.Nanjamma. 3. Having regard to the contentions of the petitioner, the writ petition stands disposed of with a direction to the respondent-Tahsildar, Nagamangala Taluk to consider the representation dated 05.07.2025 at Annexure-D, given by the petitioner, verify from the records and find out regarding the genuineness of the claim made by the petitioner. If the claim made by the petitioner is genuine and the name of the petitioner's father was earlier entered in the RTC, there is no reason why the name of the legal heirs of Sri.Gangathara Gowda should not be continued in the revenue records. Further, a specific direction is given to the respondent-Tahsildar to consider the representation and pass necessary orders after issuing notice to all concerned, in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within a period of Two (2) months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:4244 WP No. 25445 of 2025 4.
