ORDER
Land bearing Sy.No.34/B measuring 93 acres 26 guntas situated at Dasanur Village, Kalghatagi Taluk, was re-granted in favour of one Manohar Urf Yeshwant, S/o Krishnarao Desai, under Section 4(1) of the Bombay Paragana and Kulkarni Watans (Abolition) Act, 1950 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Bombay Act', for short). Thereafter, petitioners purchased lands to an extent of 16 acres in Sy.No.34/B under a registered sale deed dated 22.12.2003 and an extent of 46 acres 13 guntas in Sy.No.34/B under the registered sale deed dated 22.12.2003. Thereafter, the names of the petitioners were mutated in the revenue records in respect of the lands in question. Petitioners' grievance is that the representation submitted by them with respondent No.5 so as to assess the land revenue payable by them in respect of the lands in question is not considered.
2. Learned High Court Government Pleader appearing for the respondent-State would submit that the representation submitted by the petitioners for assessing the land revenue 4 payable by the petitioner in respect of the lands in question will be considered in accordance with law if a reasonable time is granted.
3. In view of the above, it is expedient to dispose of the writ petition directing respondent Nos.3 to 5 to consider the representations dated 23.09.2019, at Annexure-N and 15.10.2010 at Annexures-P & P1 and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of certified copy of this order.
