ORAL JUDGMENT
(PER: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SURAJ GOVINDARAJ)
1. Learned High Court Government Pleader accepts notice for respondents No.1 to 4.
2. The appellants are before this Court, seeking for the following reliefs:
"a. Set aside the order dated 30.08.2025 passed by the learned Single Judge in W.P.No.26170/2025, consequently, b. Consequently, set aside order LND/NA/CR/115 /2001-02 dt.8.08.2025 marked as Annexure "Q"
in W.P.No.26170/2025 passed by the 2nd respondent and to allow the W.P.No.26170/2025 in the interest of justice and to pass any other order under the facts and circumstances of the case."
3. The appellants are challenging the order dated 30.08.2025, passed by the learned Single Judge in Writ Petition No.26170/2025 (KLR-LG), where under, the learned Single Judge, noticing that there is an appeal remedy available for the appellants, before the Karnataka Appellate Tribunal, in terms of clause (c) of Section 49 of -4- NC: 2025:KHC:39345-DB WA No. 1628 of 2025 HC-KAR the Karnataka Land Revenue Act, disposed of the matter.
4. The submission of the learned counsel for the appellants is that the impugned order is not the order in Original, inasmuch as it is an order of grant, which is the order in Original and by way of the impugned order, the order of grant has been revoked and reservation of the road has been deleted and therefore, the same cannot be considered to be an order in Original.
5. We are unable to accept the said submission of the learned counsel for appellants, inasmuch as the grant order is not the order the appellants are aggrieved by. It is this order at Annexure Q that the appellants could be aggrieved which has been passed by the Deputy Commissioner. The Deputy Commissioner, considering that there was public nuisance, has passed the concerned order. -5-
NC: 2025:KHC:39345-DB WA No. 1628 of 2025 HC-KAR
6. In that view of the matter, Annexure Q would be the order in original as regards which the appellants have an alternative, efficacious remedy in terms of clause (c) of Section 49 of the Karnataka Land Revenue Act before the Karnataka Appellate Tribunal, as held by the learned Single Judge.
7. No grounds being made out by the appellants, the appeal stands dismissed.
