In this writ petition, the petitioner has assailed order dated 23.03.2026 (Annexure-K) and order dated 25.09.2025 (Annexure-J), passed by respondent Nos. 1 and 2 respectively. 3. Heard Sri. Halli Shantappa Basappa, learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri. Spoorthy Hedge N, learned High Court Government Pleader appearing for the respondent-State. 4. Having heard the learned counsel appearing for the parties and upon careful consideration of the impugned orders, this Court finds that the claim made by the petitioner involves a question of title. Both the authorities have concurrently recorded a finding that the petitioner has failed to establish his claim over the land in question by producing an appropriate Genealogical Tree or other satisfactory evidence. - 4 - NC: 2026:KHC:35627 WP No. 21146 of 2026 HC-KAR 5. In that view of the matter, both the authorities have rightly relegated the petitioner to establish his right, title, and interest over the property before the competent Civil Court. Only after establishing such right before the competent Civil Court, it is open to the petitioner to approach the competent revenue authority seeking modification of the revenue entries in accordance with law. Accordingly, the writ petition stands disposed of. SD/- (E.S.INDIRESH) JUDGE SB List No.: 1 Sl No.: 10
