KRISHNA S.DIXIT
H. ramachandraiah – Appellant
Versus
State of Karnataka – Respondent
JUDGMENT
Krishna S.Dixit, J. - Petitioner is knocking at the doors of Writ Court for assailing the Land Tribunal order dated 27.05.1987 a copy whereof avails at Annexure-E whereby occupancy rights have been registered concerning the land admeasuring 07 Acres & 20 Guntas in Sy. Nos. 42 & 43 of Vodeyarahalli Village, Bangalore North Taluka, in favour of 4th Respondent- Sri Jayaramaiah.
2. Learned counsel for the Petitioner vehemently argues that: at no point of time, the 4th Respondent had cultivated the land either as tenant or otherwise; occupancy has been granted on the strength of fabricated documents; entries in the Revenue Records do not support the tenancy; Petitioner had no notice of occupancy proceedings; 1978 Sale Deed under which, the 4th Respondent bought the adjoining land does not mention anything about he being the tenant of the Petition land; Petitioner and his father being 'illiterate & rustic villagers', had no knowledge of the impugned order and on coming to know of the same, by virtue of Caveat entered by the 4th Respondent in the Civil Court, he has approached this Court. Thus, there is no delay & latches that come in the way of invalidation of the impugned order.

High Court's jurisdiction under Articles 226 and 227 of the Constitution is limited to reviewing legality of quasi-judicial decisions without remanding for further hearings absent substantial errors.
A party claiming occupancy rights must provide authentic documentation; the reliance on disputed or fabricated orders leads to dismissal of such claims.
