ORAL ORDER
Learned High Court Government Pleader takes notice for respondents No.1 to 3. Notice to the other respondents is not necessary for the following reasons:
2. Learned High Court Government Pleader raises a preliminary objection that the petitioner is seeking to raise a challenge to an order passed by the Thasildar, Channarayapattana Taluk, as found at Annexure-F. The
HC-KAR
order is passed by the Tahsildar under Section 129 of the Karnataka Land Revenue Act, deleting the name of the petitioner from the RTC while entering the name of one Nanjappa. Such an order passed by the Tahsildar is appealable before the Assistant Commissioner under Section 136(2) of the Karnataka Land Revenue Act.
3. Upholding the submission of the learned High Court Government Pleader, the writ petition stands disposed of reserving liberty to the petitioner to approach the Assistant Commissioner to redress his grievance.
4. Learned High Court Government Pleader is permitted to file his memo of appearance within a period of four weeks from today.
