Smt Janvi Ravish Gowda v. the State of Karnataka
Case brief
What is this about?
Change of khata application before Thasildhar, Anekal Taluk, Bengaluru Urban District; writ of mandamus under Articles 226 and 227 of the Constitution of India; purchaser's name absent from record of rights (Annexure-C) despite registered Sale Deed dated 15.05.2014; inordinate delay of 12 years in seeking khata; petitioner directed to establish right in a manner known to law and then approach competent authority; Karnataka land revenue records; single-judge oral order disposed without directions.
What did the court decide?
Since the petitioner's name does not find a place in the record of rights and there is inordinate delay of 12 years in seeking khata, the petitioner has to establish her right in respect of the property in a manner known to law and thereafter approach the competent authority for appropriate relief. ¶33
