SIDDAYYA Vs. THE STATE OF KARNATAKA

JUDGEMENT

(1.) BY consent, heard learned counsel for the parties for admission of the appeal.

(2.) THERE does not appear to be any dispute that one Mallappa, belonging to SC, was granted land by the Collector, Bijapur vide order dated 28.04.1947. After the death of Mallappa, his son Laxman sold the land vide registered sale deed dated 07.01.1992 in favour of appellants. After the demise of Laxman, his wife and son filed application before the Assistant Commissioner under the provisions of the Act seeking reconvenience of the said land in their favour contending that the sale transaction between Laxman and the appellant was hit by the provisions of Section 4 of the Act.

(3.) WE have perused the order dated 14.04.1964. It shows, in view of the representation made to the Government stating that the conditions imposed under the Bombay Land Revenue (Mysore Amendment) Rules, 1960, were onerous and that parties concerned were put to great hardship. It was suggested that the restrictions imposed under the resolution dated 26.08.1947, should be amended so as to permit grantees to alienate the lands granted to them without any restrictions and without obtaining the specific permission of any authority after a period of 15 years from the date of grant.
