¶31

Learned Additional Government Advocate however submits that normally this Court would direct the parties to file online application for phodi and durasth. However, in respect of granted lands, since the phodi and the durasth have to be conducted simultaneously in respect of all the granted lands, sufficient time may be required to complete the process. Learned Additional Government Advocate submits on instructions that the Sy.No.389/600 of Sagare Village, Kandalike Hobli, H.D.Kote Taluk, comprises of 108 acres 3 guntas and several grants have been made in the said survey number. Therefore, sufficient time will have to be granted to the respondents to complete the phodi and durasth.

¶32

The Learned Additional Government Advocate

¶33

submits on instructions that the process has already begun.

¶34

Consequently, the writ petition stands disposed of

¶35

with a direction to respondent No.2-Tahsildar, Sargur Taluk and Assistant Director of Land Records, Sargur, to complete the process of phodi and durasth, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within a period of four months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
