The court passed the order while allowing a petition filed by Gopalarao, a builder/developer from Belagavi
The petitioner had constructed 34 flats, of which 21 had been sold and the sale deeds registered before the introduction of the Kaveri 2.0 portal. Karnataka high court court passed the order while allowing a petition filed by Gopalarao, a builder/developer from Belagavi.
If the existing mapping system treated the original lessor as the only person entitled to be reflected in Kaveri 2.0, subsequent transactions involving leasehold interests would face similar difficulties, the judge said.
However, after the portal was introduced, sale deeds for the remaining 13 flats were not processed because the petitioner’s name did not appear as “owner” in the municipal/e-property records. The original lessor was shown as the owner, while the petitioner was listed only as “holder/taxpayer”, prompting him to approach the high court. they constituted documents of title to the interest actually granted, the judge said While the documents did not convey reversionary ownership of the land.
He also noted that the issue was not confined to the petitioner. A communication issued by the authority in response to a representation by Credai had acknowledged similar problems involving Nirantara Patta properties. The court observed that several properties in Belagavi city and surrounding areas were held under such arrangements.
