Bagodappa and Ors. v. the State of Karnataka and Ors.
Case brief
What is this about?
Writ petition against a Land Tribunal order under Section 45 of the Karnataka Land Reforms Act granting land to respondent No.2. The court held the Tribunal erred in ignoring the earlier Form No.10 grant and the petitioners' long possession, and that the impugned order was passed without jurisdiction.
What did the court decide?
Impugned Tribunal order set aside; land granted to respondent No.2 dropped; parties at liberty to pursue remedies regarding their respective shares before the authority concerned.
