HC-KAR
2. Learned Additional Government Advocate raises a preliminary objection that the relief sought for by the petitioner cannot be granted by this Court, having regard to the express provisions of the Karnataka Land Revenue Act, 1964 providing for an appeal remedy before the Assistant Commissioner to question any entry made in the revenue records, if the petitioner is aggrieved of the same.
3. Accordingly, the writ petition stands disposed of, reserving liberty to the petitioner to approach the Assistant Commissioner to redress his grievance.
Learned Additional Government Advocate is permitted to file memo of appearance within a period of four weeks from today.
