THESE PETITIONS, COMING ON FOR PRELIMINARY HEARING IN 'B' GROUP, THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER: CORAM: HON'BLE MR JUSTICE N S SANJAY GOWDA ORAL ORDER 1. An order of assigning 10 acres of land for allotting to siteless persons under Ashraya Scheme is challenged by the petitioners who contend that they have filed applications seeking regularization and until their applications are considered, the assignment of land for allotment of sites to siteless persons would be illegal. 2. The petitioners, however, have not produced any document to indicate that they have made applications for regularization apart from making mere assertions in the writ petitions. No doubt, the petitioners have placed reliance on certain sketches to indicate that applications have been filed. However, since the applications per se or the - 5 - NC: 2025:KHC:11481 WP No. 33746 of 2014 C/W WP No. 33744 of 2014 acknowledgement for having made applications have not been produced, their claim cannot be accepted. Moreover, learned Additional Government Advocate has placed on record the photographs of the area in question and these photographs indicate that a layout has been formed and sites were also allotted to siteless persons under Ashraya Scheme. 3. In light of the above, it is obvious that the petitioners have no right to oppose the allotment of sites to siteless persons under Ashraya Scheme. Consequently, the writ petitions are dismissed.
