This petition is filed seeking issuance of a direction to respondent - authorities to stop the illegal and unauthorized activities and also not to change the nature of agricultural land which was notified in Sy.No.53/1A, B situate in Vasanthapura Village, Uttarahalli Hobli, Bangalore South Taluk, for formation of BSK 5th stage, Bangalore. 2. A perusal of the representation submitted by the petitioners to the authorities indicate that it is the grievance of the petitioners that illegal activities had been carried out in Sy.No.53/1A, B and despite several representations, no action has been taken by them. 3. In my view, since the petitioners are complaining of illegal activities being carried out in the particular land and since the learned counsel appearing for the BDA submits that said land has been notified and acquired by the BDA, it would be appropriate to direct the 2nd respondent to take such action which are necessary to stop any illegal or unauthorized activities being carried - 8 - NC: 2025:KHC:3973 WP No. 13683 of 2024 out in land bearing Sy.No.53/1A, B within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 4.
