Taking note of the inordinate delay in pronouncing judgments after hearings and examination of evidence, Karnataka Revenue Minister Krishna Byre Gowda directed tahsildars and Assistant Commissioners to deliver the order within 15 days of completing the hearing process.
“It is observed that some revenue courts take too much time to pronounce the judgments even after completion of the hearing process. This unnecessary delay causes problems and inconvenience to the parties involved in the case, and forces them to run from pillar to post for getting their problem solved,” Mr. Gowda said during a review meeting at the district administrative complex in Kalaburagi on July 31.
The meeting was attended by Medical Education Minister Sharan Prakash Patil, Revenue Department Principal Secretary Rajendra Kumar Kataria, Principal Secretary (disaster management) Rashmi V. Mahesh, Revenue Commissioner P. Sunil Kumar, Survey Settlement and Land Records Commissioner J. Manjunath, Inspector General of Stamps and Registration B.R. Mamatha and Regional Commissioner Krishna Bajpai, apart from Deputy Commissioners, Assistant Commissioners, tahsildars and other revenue officers from the seven districts in the Kalyana Karnataka region.
