Sri Kempahanumaiah v. the State of Karnataka
Case brief
What is this about?
Legal representatives of a deceased grantee sought resumption and restoration of re-granted lands conveyed within fifteen years of re-grant; the Tahsildar declined jurisdiction by endorsement. During the petition, the Deputy Commissioner forfeited the lands to the Government for the same conveyance, leaving no relief to grant, so the writ petition was disposed of.
