High Court of Karnataka, Bengaluru (R Devdas J) — Oral Order dated 19.02.2026 in W.P. No. 29706 of 2024 (KLR-RES), filed under Articles 226 and 227 of the Constitution of India seeking quashing of (i) the order dated 2.02.2024 in RP No. 38/2018 passed by Respondent-2 (Deputy Commissioner, Tumakuru District) and (ii) the order dated 9.10.2017 in RRT(A) 86/2014-15 passed by Respondent-3 (Assistant Commissioner, Madhugiri Sub-Division), whereby the revision petition of the petitioners' grandmother late Smt. Sakamma was rejected, confirming cancellation proceedings relating to mutation register MR No. H16/2011-12. By an earlier order dated 05.02.2026, two weeks had been granted to comply with office objections, failing which the matter was to be listed for dismissal on 19.02.2026. When the matter was called out, there was no representation for the petitioners and office objections remained uncomplied; accordingly the writ petition stands dismissed for non-compliance of office objections. No issue on merits was adjudicated; no precedent treatment or quantum arises.
