THIS PETITION, COMING ON FOR PRELIMINARY HEARING, THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER:

CORAM: HON'BLE MR JUSTICE N S SANJAY GOWDA

ORAL ORDER

1. An order of remand was made by the Assistant Commissioner on 01.12.2010 and the Special Thasildar was directed to reconsider the matter and place the matter before the Akrama Sakrama Committee, which is constituted for regularization of unauthorized cultivation in accordance with law.

2. This order of remand has been confirmed by the Deputy Commissioner and also by the Karnataka Appellate Tribunal.

3. In my view, since the impugned order is only an order of remand, there is no justification to entertain the Writ Petition, since all the questions arising between the parties will have to be decided afresh.

Therefore, Writ Petition is dismissed.

4. In view of the disposal of the petition, all pending interlocutory applications, if any, stand disposed of.
