THIS PETITION, COMING ON FOR PRELIMINARY HEARING, THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER: - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:2396 WP No. 28757 of 2025 CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE R DEVDAS ORAL ORDER The matters lies in a narrow compass. 2. It is the contention of the learned Counsel for the petitioner that respondent No.7 filed O.S.No.589/2024 on the file of the learned Prl. Civil Judge & JMFC at Kunigal, against the petitioner and other family members for permanent injunction and the learned Judge has only issued notice. The petitioner has also filed a suit in O.S. No.311/2024 against respondents No.7 to 10 for permanent injunction. However, the respondent No.4– Tahsildar, Kunigal, has made the impugned communication at Annexure ‘A’ to the Police Inspector- respondent No.6 to enable conducting of a survey to protect the interest of respondent no.7. 3. Learned Counsel submits that subsequent to filing of the writ petition, the petitioner has also filed I.A. No.3/2025 for amendment and he has furnished a copy of - 5 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:2396 WP No. 28757 of 2025 Annexure ‘Q’ where again the Tahsildar has directed that the interest of respondent No.7 has to be protected. Learned counsel submits that the revenue authorities cannot act to the prejudice of the petitioner when the rival parties are before the Civil Court seeking appropriate relief. 4. Consequently, this Court had passed an interim order on 25.09.2025 staying the operation of Annexures ‘A’ and ‘Q’ and all further proceedings thereto till the next date of hearing. 5. Now in the presence of the learned Counsels for the private respondents, this Court has heard the matter and finds that the rival parties before the Court have independently filed suits against each other. Therefore, unless the rights of the parties are decided by the Civil Court, the revenue authorities shall not interfere in the matter. - 6 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:2396 WP No. 28757 of 2025 6. With these observations, the writ petition stands disposed of while setting aside the impugned orders at Annexures ‘A’ and ‘Q’. Pending IAs., if any, disposed of accordingly.
