A.Dear client,

Any open area that was not suitable for farming or cultivation at the time of the land survey is categorized as Kharab land in Karnataka under the Karnataka Land Revenue Act, 1964. These lands are owned and controlled by the government, which is also permitted to use Kharab property for public objectives. This Khrab land is mostly given for worshiping purposes.

In the case of State of Karnataka and Others Vs. V. Varadarajait Karnataka, Dr. Justice HB Prabhakara Sastry has observed that the ownership and management of a temple built on government kharab land cannot be claimed by private persons, especially when it is dedicated to the public.

Thank You
