THIS PETITION, COMING ON FOR ORDERS, THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER: - 3 - NC: 2025:KHC:8823 WP No. 25582 of 2018 CORAM: HON'BLE MR JUSTICE SACHIN SHANKAR MAGADUM ORAL ORDER In the captioned petition, the petitioners have assailed the grant made in favour of respondent No.2 / Bengaluru Metropolitan Transport Corporation. The challenge to the grant made in favour of respondent No.2 by the petitioners is primarily on the ground that the petitioners' application seeking regularization of the petitioners' land is pending consideration before the Land Grant Committee and therefore, the petitioners assert that the grant made in favour of respondent No.2 takes away their rights to seek regularization. 2. The learned HCGP submits that the Land Grant Committee, after subjecting the petitioners' application to due inquiry, has declined to recommend its regularization. He further points out that the petitioners' application was rejected by an order dated 28.04.2022. 3. The learned HCGP is directed to ensure that a certified copy of the said order is furnished to the petitioners through RPAD within four weeks. Upon receipt of the order, the petitioners are at liberty to challenge it in accordance with the - 4 - NC: 2025:KHC:8823 WP No. 25582 of 2018 law. Additionally, the petitioners retain the right to contest request for Regularisation, if they succeed before the Competent Authority. 4. For the aforesaid reasons, the petition stands disposed off.
