There is a significant development that is worth sharing. As per an article in Deccan Herald, #Karnataka Chief Minister @BSBommai has set a 3-month deadline for automatic land conversion.

In the meeting with DCs, the CM discussed several revenue issues pending in the state for a long time. One such was the pendency of applications to regularise gomal lands, owing to legal hurdles. The law department will look into an amendment of rules to resolve this deadlock, Bommai said.

In addition, there are thousands of revenue cases pending in tahsildar and assistant commissioner courts across the state. These are cases pending for close to two decades. “At the pace it is being resolved, these cases will take another four years to be disposed of. We will appoint more tahsildars, assistant commissioners and support staff to dispose of the cases soon,” Bommai added.

This is exactly the issue that my family has been fighting about. We took the matter to the Karnataka High Court. The honorable #HighCourt passed a judgement directing the office of #Bangaluru Deputy Commissioner (DC) to review and adjudicate the matter.

It has been 1.5 years since that High Court order, and we have been unsuccessful in following up with officials despite filing several RTI requests.  

I am hoping that the latest directive from Karnataka Chief Minister, Mr. Bommai will lead to a speedy resolution of our issue.
