• Granted (dharkast) land issue

I am Rudresh. My grandmother Rudramma bought 4 acres of agricultural land from Srinivasamurthy belonging to Brahmin community in 1967-68 in Chikmagalur. After the sale of property Srinivasamurthy and his family left Chikmagalur and went to their native(some where in Andhra Pradesh). From that time till now the property is in the name of Srinivasamurthy itself inspite of submitting required details along with sale deed to taluk office. In 2009 we submitted application for Cadastre Change(pahani badalavane) to Assistant Commissioner(AC). He has written remarks in mutation that the property belongs to granted land during 1965-66 and it has been sold before 15 years and hence the property cannot be registered to Rudramma(my grandmother). After that we applied for DC court in 2014. Till now a single hearing has not been carried out due to work load on DC and frequent transfers of DC's. Please give proper guidance in this regard.

I advice you to withdraw the case and write some representation to the authority and then file a writ in the high court of mandamus which will give you relief within 2 or 3 months.

1) was there a condition that granted land could not be sold for period of 15 years ..

2) if so mutation of land would not be done in grand mother name on basis of regs sale deed from seller

3)your appeal to DC court may not fetch you the desired results

4) courts are overburdened and it takes time for cases to be disposed of

File a petition under Article 227 in the High Court and get the proceedings pending in the DC Court expedited and seek their time bound disposal.

If the case has been pending for long then I would advise you to contact a local lawyer and file a petition under article 227 of the Constitution of India and get the matter expedited so that the same can be decided by DC in a time bound manner.

You withdraw the case filed before DC and file a fresh suit before the regular civil court.

You can file a suit for declaring the title and also for a direction to the local revenue authorities to transfer the revenue records in your name based on the registered title document.

You will not get any releif even you fight for it a decade through DC court.
