ORDER :
1. These petitions are filed impugning the order dated 21.04.2021 in INA.CR.325/1978-79 by the Tahsildar, Malur Taluk, Kolar District and for quashing the revenue entry in MR No. T.37/2021-22 for the different lands in Alambady village, Lakkur Hobli, Malur Taluk, Kolar District. The writ petition in WP No. 8718/2021 is filed for quashing the order dated 21.04.2021 and the writ petition in WP No. 12321/2022 is for quashing the revenue entry in MR No. T.37/2021-22. The dispute relates to regrant of rights to the following lands in Alambady village, Lakkur Hobli, Malur Taluk, Kolar District:
(b) Land bearing Sy. No. 18, measuring 10 guntas.
(c) Land bearing Sy. No. 19, measuring 2 acres 21 gunta
The jurisdiction of the Tahsildar under the Karnataka Village Offices Abolition Act is limited to specified questions, necessitating civil proceedings for determining complex ownership issues.
The principle of res judicata bars parties from relitigating issues that have been conclusively settled, affirming the finality of previous judgments in land validity.
Complicated inheritance disputes regarding land rights should be resolved through regular civil suits, not summary mutation proceedings, as determined under applicable land laws.
The mutation of self-acquired property requires a relinquishment deed and cannot be authorized by revenue authorities without jurisdiction, particularly when delay in appeal is not condoned.
A recorded tenant's consent is essential for an unrecorded co-tenant to acquire Bhumidhari rights; absence of such consent invalidates claims to ownership.
Revenue authorities lack jurisdiction to determine land title disputes, which must be settled in civil courts, rendering related appeals maintainable under proper legal challenges.
Mutation proceedings under the U.P. Land Revenue Act do not confer title and are subject to the outcome of civil suits regarding property rights.
