The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- The Karnataka High Court has ordered the State government to fix technical defects in the Kaveri 2.0 property registration portal within two months.
- The flaws, involving how property records are mapped, have blocked registration of properties held under perpetual lease (Nirantara Patta), especially in the Belagavi region.
- The case arose when a Belagavi builder could not register 13 of 34 flats because the software showed the original lessor as owner instead of the leaseholder.
- The court said software cannot be used to restrict legally recognised property rights, and ordered that if the defects are not fixed, sub-registrars must manually register such sale deeds.
What to watch next
- Whether the government rectifies the e-property record mapping and Kaveri 2.0 interface within the two-month deadline
- Whether registrations of perpetual leasehold properties resume smoothly in the Belagavi region
- Whether sub-registrars begin manual registration of such sale deeds if the deadline is missed
