ORDER 1. At my instance Sri. Ramesh B. Aneppanavar, learned Government Advocate accepts notice. 2. Matter is taken up for final disposal with the consent of the Counsel. 3. The petitioner-Basanagouda is before me challenging Annexures B and C orders dated 28-10-1981 and 31-7-1982 in this Writ Petition. 4. The petitioner is an agriculturist and a resident of Manvi Taluk, Raichur District. He owned 83 acres 30 guntas agricultural D class lands as on 18-11-1961. Out of the said total extent of lands, an extent of 10 acres is Pot Karab land. The same is not for cultivation. In these circumstances, the remaining holding of the petitioner will be 73 acres 30 guntas. The petitioner owned D class lands as on 24-1-1971. According to the petitioner, there was no change of holding in the family of the petitioner even on 1-3-1974. In the light of the Karnataka Land Reforms Act, the petitioner filed an application u/S. 66 of the Act. The Tribunal, according to the petitioner, without issuing any notice has chosen to pass ex parte orders in terms of Annexure B. Annexure C is a subsequent notice issued to the petitioner. The petitioner with these facts is before me. 5. Heard Sri Mallikarajun C. Basareddy, learned Counsel appearing for the petitioner and Sri. Ramesh B. Aneppanvar, learned Government Advocate for the State. Perused the impugned order. 6. It is seen from the order that the petitioner is not heard in the matter. No opportunity was given to the petitioner. Even otherwise the orders are as vague as it could be. In these circumstances, I am satisfied that an opportunity has to be given to the petitioner to substantiate his contentions before the Tribunal. In these circumstances, this petition is accepted.
