ORAL JUDGMENT

¶32

(PER: HON'BLE MR. VIBHU BAKHRU, CHIEF JUSTICE)

¶33

The appellants have preferred the present appeal impugning a common order dated 11.12.2023 passed by the learned Single Judge in W.P.No.9935/2023 (LA-BDA) C/W. W.P.No.46031/2016 (LA-BDA). The present appeal is confined to the decision rendered in respect of the said petitions.

¶34

We note that the said writ petitions were filed by joint owners of properties that were acquired by the Bangalore Development Authority [BDA]. In both the said petitions, BDA had acquired the property after the preliminary notification dated 23.03.1988 followed by a final notification. The appeal preferred by the writ petitioners in W.P.No.9935/2023 being Writ Appeal No.247/2024, was dismissed by an order dated 16.12.2024.

¶35

Learned counsel for the appellants who were writ petitioners in W.P.No.46031/2016, readily accepts that the present appeal would also bear the same fate.
