Sri. J. v. Venkatesh v the Chief Secretary
Case brief
What is this about?
Intra-court writ appeal (WA No. 1812 of 2024, BDA) before the High Court of Karnataka at Bengaluru, decided 10.02.2026 by D K Singh and S Rachaiah, JJ., dismissed. Appellants (J. V. Venkatesh and J V Srinivas) challenged the Single Judge's dismissal of W.P No.6916/2024, by which they sought implementation of BDA Resolution No.133/2019 dated 17/18.01.2020 based on Karnataka Lokayuktha reports under Section 12(1). The Division Bench held the Resolution had been dropped and the fresh resolution's challenge in W.P No.8405/2024 had failed, so implementation of the earlier Resolution could not be sought. Keywords: BDA resolution, Lokayuktha report, Section 12(1), dropped resolution, implementation, writ appeal dismissed.
What did the court decide?
Since Resolution No.133/2019 dated 17.01.2020 and 18.01.2020 has already been dropped by BDA and the challenge to the last (fresh) resolution in W.P No.8405/2024 has been unsuccessful, the petitioners cannot seek implementation of the earlier Resolution No.133/2019 dated 17.01.2020 and 18.01.2020.
