Puttappa v. Madappa
Case brief
What is this about?
Karnataka High Court, Bengaluru; NC: 2025:KHC:35631; RSA No. 1293 of 2014 (INJ); decided 10-09-2025 by Justice Anant Ramanath Hegde (oral judgment). Puttappa (plaintiff/appellant) v. Madappa and Mahadevappa (defendants/respondents), Thoravalli Village, Nanjangud Taluk. Permanent injunction suit over site No.582C (64 ft x 15 ft); trial court decree based on Ex.P1 assessment extract reversed in R.A.No.2/2011. Key points: assessment/register entry confers no title; claimed Gram Panchayath grant unproved (no grant order, no proof of Panchayath ownership); Ex.D2 (2009) shows plaintiff's name struck off without specific order, so neither extract reliable; Ex.D1 RTC Sy.No.161 in Kempadevamma's name (1 Acre 31 Guntas), sites-formed endorsement, link to site No.582C unclear; no substantial question of law; appeal dismissed. Statute: Section 100 CPC.
What did the court decide?
Mere entry in the property/assessment extract does not confer any right over the property; the entry is to be made based on the right acquired.
