It is the contention of the petitioner that the petitioner's husband, late Sri.Rajanna had filed an application in Form No.50 in the year 1991 seeking regularisation of unauthorised occupation of 2 acres of land in Sy.No.305 of Hosuru Village, Bidadi Hobli, Ramanagara Taluk and District and the committee had passed a resolution on 21.06.1994 in proceedings L.N.D.C.R. No.120/91-92 resolving to grant the said lands in favour of the petitioner's husband. Thereafter an official memorandum was issued by the Tahsildar on 30.07.1994 confirming the grant made in favour of the petitioner's husband. It is also the contention of the petitioner that the petitioner's husband has paid the T.T.fine and kimmat. However, Saguvali Chit was not issued in favour of the petitioner's husband and his name was not entered in the revenue records. Therefore the prayer in the petition is to issue - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:10291 WP No. 5589 of 2026 necessary directions to the respondent - Tahsildar to issue Saguvali Chit and enter the name of the petitioner in the revenue records, as the petitioner is the only legal heir left behind by Sri.Huliappa. 3. The writ petition stands disposed of with a direction to respondent No.4 – Tahsildar, Ramanagara Taluk to consider the representations given by the petitioner at Annexure-A dated 22.01.2026, verify the records and find out whether grant was made in favour of Sri.Rajanna.

Thereafter the Tahsildar shall find out who are the legal heirs of Sri.Rajanna and proceed to enter their names after satisfying himself in accordance with law. The entire exercise shall be completed as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within a period of - 5 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:10291 WP No. 5589 of 2026 three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
