THIS WRIT PETITION COMING ON FOR PRELIMINARY
HEARING THIS DAY, THE COURT MADE THE FOLLOWING:
ORDER
Learned Additional Government Advocate takes notice for respondent Nos.1 to 3. He is permitted to file memo of appearance within two weeks.
2. The petitioner herein is seeking direction to respondent No.3 to consider his representations dated 12.03.2017, 08.07.2017, 06.03.2018, 12.07.2018 and 04.10.2018 vide Annexures - C, D, E, F and G, respectively, to consider in entering the name of the petitioner in the revenue records as well as the RTC of -3- land bearing Sy.No.80 of Shettigere Village, Jala Hobli, Bengaluru North Taluk measuring to an extent of one acre.
3. Learned Additional Government Advocate would bring to the notice of this Court that the said land is already converted from agricultural to non- agricultural residential use, vide order of Assistant Commissioner, Bangalore Sub-Division dated 04.11.1991 in proceedings No.ALN.SR.128/90-91. Therefore, the question of entering petitioner's name in the revenue records and RTC with reference to a converted land, does not arise. Accordingly, he would submit that the writ petition itself is not maintainable.
4. Having given careful consideration and on going through the materials available on record, this Court is convinced that the petitioner having got the said land converted, cannot seek his name to be entered -4- in the revenue records maintained in respect of the aforesaid land.
5. Accordingly this writ petition is dismissed.
