The High Court of Karnataka has directed the Chief Secretary to take steps to create an online dashboard to identify properties by consolidating various types of numbers assigned to identify properties to prevent confusion.
The court said the dashboard should have the facility to cross-reference search to get different types of identification numbers assigned to a property such as survey numbers, Khaneshumari numbers, house list number, khatha numbers, and site numbers.
Also, the court directed the Chief Secretary to appoint a nodal officer, preferably an IAS officer, to coordinate with the Revenue Department, the Urban Development Department, urban development authorities, town planning authorities, municipal authorities, municipal corporations etc., in association with the E-governance Department, for creating the dashboard.
