NC: 2026:KHC-K:2243

HC-KAR

2. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and

learned Additional Government Advocate, who is directed

to take notice for respondent Nos.1 and 8.

3. It appears that respondent Nos.2 to 6 herein

had filed Revision Petition No.147/2023-24 before the

Deputy Commissioner, Bidar assailing the order passed by

the Assistant Commissioner in file No.Rev/Appeal/CR-

45/2020-21 dated 08.12.2023, wherein the prayer made

by the revision petitioners to enter their name in the

revenue records of the land in question was rejected. The

Deputy Commissioner vide order at Annexure-F dated

14.10.2025 has dismissed Revision Petition No.147/2023-

24, on the ground that the land which was subject matter

of the revision petition is an Inam land and no application

is filed by any party for re-grant of the said land and

therefore, directed to enter the name of the State in the

revenue records of the said land. Petitioner herein, who

had impleaded herself as respondent No.3 in Revision

Petition No.147/2023-24, appears to have subsequently

NC: 2026:KHC-K:2243

HC-KAR

filed a representation before the respondent No.1-Deputy

Commissioner on 10.11.2025 by vide Annexure-G seeking

re-grant of the land bearing Survey No. 154/P2 measuring

04 acres 07 guntas, which was subject matter of Revision

Petition No.147/2023-24. Assailing the order at Annexure-

F dated 14.10.2025 passed in RP No.147/2023-24 and

also seeking a writ of mandamus directing the respondent

No.1-Deputy Commissioner to consider her representation

at Annexure-G dated 10.11.2025, the petitioner is before

this Court.

4. The petitioner has not challenged the order

passed by the Assistant Commissioner in file

No.Rev/Appeal/CR-45/2020-21 dated 08.12.2023 before

the Deputy Commissioner and on the other hand, it was

the respondent Nos.2 to 6 herein, who had filed a revision

petition against the order passed by the Assistant

Commissioner. Petitioner had impleaded herself as

respondent No.3 in RP No.147/2023-24. Undisputedly, RP

No.147/2023-24 was dismissed by the Deputy

NC: 2026:KHC-K:2243

HC-KAR

Commissioner. Therefore, the petitioner, who is

respondent No.3 in the said revision petition cannot have

any grievance as against the order of the Deputy

Commissioner.

5. It is not the case of the petitioner that she had

filed any application seeking the re-grant of the land in

question and therefore, the order passed by the Deputy

Commissioner cannot be termed as erroneous.

Undisputedly, after disposal of RP No.147/2023-24 vide

order dated 14.10.2025 at Annexure-F, petitioner has filed

a representation before the Deputy Commissioner on

10.11.2025 vide Annexure-G seeking re-grant of the land

bearing Survey No.154/P2 measuring 04 acres 07 guntas,

which was subject matter of RP No.147/2023-24.

6. Under the circumstances, I am of the opinion

that the petitioner is not entitled for first relief sought in

the writ petition, wherein a prayer is made to quash the

order dated 14.10.2025 passed in RP No.147/2023-24 by

Deputy Commissioner vide Annexure-F. However, it is not

NC: 2026:KHC-K:2243

HC-KAR

in dispute that after RP No.147/2023-24 was disposed of,

petitioner has submitted a representation vide the

Annexure-G dated 10.11.2025 before the Deputy

Commissioner, with a prayer to re-grant the land bearing

Survey No.154/P2 measuring 04 acres 07 guntas situated

at Naubad Village, Tq. And Dist: Bidar, which was subject

matter of RP No.147/2023-24. According to the petitioner,

the Deputy Commissioner has not considered the said

representation and disposed of the same.

7. If that is so, respondent No.1-Deputy

Commissioner is required to consider the same and pass

appropriate orders on the same in accordance with law.

8. Learned Additional Government Advocate

submits that if some breathing time is granted, respondent

No.1-Deputy Commissioner shall consider the

representation of petitioner at Annexure-G dated

10.11.2025 and pass orders in accordance with law.

9. Said submission is placed on record.

NC: 2026:KHC-K:2243

HC-KAR

10. Accordingly, the following:

ORDER

i. The writ petition is allowed in part.

ii. Respondent No.1-Deputy Commissioner is

directed to consider the representation of the

petitioner dated 10.11.2025 at Annexure-G

and pass appropriate orders on the same in

accordance with law, as expeditiously as

possible, but not later than a period of three

months from the date of receipt of copy of

this order.
