submission of report and that pre-requisite was also
complied with. The 5th respondent, in the petition, had
submitted report to the Authority and the report was in
favour of the petitioners. On the premise of these facts, the
learned Government Advocate appearing for the State made
a fair submission before the Court. The learned Government
Advocate, in his fairness, submitted before the learned
Single Judge that if some adequate time is granted, the
respondents/Authority would consider the request of the
petitioners and pass appropriate orders.
3. Accepting this submission, the learned Single
Judge was pleased to dispose off the writ petition by
directing respondent Nos.2 and 3 to consider the request of
the petitioners to enter their names in revenue records on
the basis of Annexure-D placed before the learned Single
Judge i.e. report of the ADLR dated 20.09.2018. The learned
Single Judge directed the Authority to undertake this
exercise and comply with the same within a stipulated period
of three months from the date of receipt of certified copy of
the order of the learned Single Judge. Being aggrieved by
- 19 -
WA No. 100551 of 2022
the said order, the State Authorities are before this Court in
the present appeal.
4. We are more than surprised to see the approach
of the Government in preferring this appeal. Admittedly, the
learned Single Judge on the premise that the petitioners
have already approached the Revenue Authorities for
entering their names in the revenue records and under the
Karnataka Land Revenue Act, 1964, the Authorities are duty
bound to take appropriate steps for entering the name of the
parties in the revenue record on receipt of application and on
completion of the necessary formalities. Now the learned
Single Judge keeping this aspect in mind and a fair
submission of the learned Government Advocate that if some
time is granted, the respondents-Authority would consider
the request of the petitioners and pass appropriate orders,
the appeal is disposed off with a direction to the respondent
Nos.2 and 3 to decide the request of the petitioners within a
stipulated period of three months.
5. The order of the learned Single Judge clearly
indicates that it was left open to the Authority to arrive at a
- 20 -
WA No. 100551 of 2022
decision while considering the request. The order of the
learned Single Judge only indicates there is an already report
submitted through ADLR and the Authority was directed to
consider this report while deciding the request. In our
opinion by considering the order of the learned Single Judge
by any angle, is not causing any prejudice to the State as
the learned Single Judge only directed the respondents-
Authority to consider the request on its own merits.
6. On the backdrop of these facts, the present
appeal filed raising various grounds including a ground that
the petitioners have suppressed certain facts, ought not to
have been filed by the State Government.
7. The appellants/State Government, when the
order of the learned Single Judge was passed in a limited
compass and no observations on merits were made by the
learned Single Judge, the filing of the appeal by the State
Government show that the State Authorities without
considering the order of the learned Single Judge in its
proper perspective, took the order as an order causing a
serious prejudice to the State Government, which is factually
- 21 -
WA No. 100551 of 2022
incorrect. As we are unable to find any justifiable ground in
the appeal, it can only be said that the appeal is devoid of
any merits and as such, deserves to be dismissed at
threshold. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed.
8. In view of disposal of the appeal, pending
interlocutory applications, if any, do not survive for
consideration and are disposed off accordingly.
