It is also submitted that the contention taken by the petitioner that his daughter had filed application for grant of land claiming that she is in possession of the land for more than 10 years cannot be accepted, since she would be a minor at that relevant point of time. 6.

According to the petitioner, the land in question is a Government land and the application filed by his daughter seeking for regularisation of unauthorised occupation is pending consideration before the committee and no decision has been taken in this regard.

In the circumstances, petition is allowed and the impugned proceedings pending before the Civil Judge (Junior Division) and Judicial Magistrate First Class, Sullia against the petitioner are quashed. However, if the landis not granted in favour of the daughter of the petitioner, it is for the revenue authorities to take possession of the land.
