THESE APPEALS HAVING BEEN HEARD AND RESERVED FOR JUDGMENT ON 24.03.2026, COMING ON FOR PRONOUNCEMENT THIS DAY, HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE D.K. SINGH PRONOUNCED THE FOLLOWING: WA No. 1214 of 2025 AND Connected Matters 229 CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE D K SINGH and HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE T.M.NADAF CAV JUDGMENT (PER: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE D K SINGH) I. PREFACE: 1. The present batch of writ appeals arise out of a common judgment and order dated 04.07.2025 passed by the learned Single Judge in W.P.No.50634/2014 and connected matters concerning the lands acquired under the provisions of the Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Act, 1966 (for short ‘the KIAD Act’). The land acquisitions were intiated pursuant to the Framework Agreement (FWA) dated 03.04.1997 executed between the Government of Karnataka and the appellant-Nandi Infrastructure Corridor Enterprises Limited (NICE) for implementation of Bengaluru-Mysuru Infrastructure Corridor Project (BMICP). Some of the writ appeals are filed by the NICE and the others are filed by the Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Board (KIADB) challenging the aforesaid judgment and order passed by the learned Single Judge. WA No. 1214 of 2025 AND Connected Matters 230 II FACTS OF THE CASE: 2. The BMICP was conceived as a major infrastructure project intended to provide connectivity between Bengaluru and Mysuru through construction of: • Five townships; • An Expressway of approximately 111 kilometres together with interchanges and toll plazas; • A Peripheral Road of approximately 41 kilometres; and • A Link Road of approximately 9.8 kilometres. 3. For implementation of the said project, extensive extents of land measuring 20,193 acres situated in Bengaluru Urban and surrounding areas were notified for acquisition under Section 28(1) of the KIAD Act between the years 1998 and 2009. The final declarations under Section 28(4) were subsequently issued between the years 2003 and 2009. 4. The petitioners before writ Court are the owners of various extents of land situated in different villages notified for acquisition under the KIAD Act. Though the final notifications were issued between the years 2003 and 2009, no awards have been passed in respect of the petitioners' lands even till date. WA No. 1214 of 2025 AND Connected Matters 231 5. The BMICP and the land acquisition proceedings have been the subject matter of several rounds of litigation before this Court and the Supreme Court. The legality of the project, the FWA, the public purpose underlying the acquisition and the power of the State to acquire lands for the project were upheld by the Supreme Court in a series of decisions including in the case of STATE OF KARNATAKA vs ALL INDIA MANUFACTURERS ORGANISATION [(2006) 4 SCC 683] and in the case of M. NAGABHUSHANA vs STATE OF KARNATAKA [(2011) 3 SCC 408]. Consequently, the validity of the acquisition notifications and the public purpose underlying the project attained finality. 6. Notwithstanding the conclusion of the earlier litigations, several landowners, whose lands had been notified for acquisition, approached this Court by filing the aforesaid writ petitions. Their grievance was not directed against the legality of the acquisition notifications or the validity of the BMICP itself. Instead, they contended that although several decades had elapsed after issuance of the acquisition notifications, the acquiring authorities had failed to pass awards determining compensation in respect of their lands. As a consequence, the acquisition proceedings had remained incomplete for a period WA No. 1214 of 2025 AND Connected Matters 232 of more than 23 years since compensation had neither been determined nor paid. 7. The petitioners asserted that such a prolonged inaction on the part of the acquiring authorities had placed them in an extremely prejudicial position. Their lands continued to remain under acquisition, thereby substantially restricting them from alienating, developing, cultivating, mortgaging or otherwise to deal with their lands. At the same time, the State had failed to discharge its statutory obligation of determining compensation. The petitioners asserted that compulsory acquisition of their lands without determination of award or payment of compensation for decades rendered the acquisition proceedings arbitrary, oppressive and contrary to the rights guaranteed under Article 300A of the Constitution of India. 8. The petitioners further contended that several parcels of lands acquired from them had not been utilised for the core components of the BMICP viz., the expressway, peripheral road, link road, toll plazas or interchanges. It was specifically urged that despite acquisition of vast extents of land, substantial portions remained unutilised for the said project for which they had originally been acquired. WA No. 1214 of 2025 AND Connected Matters 233 9. Upon consideration of the above submissions, the learned Single Judge has held that though more than two decades had elapsed from the date of issuance of the acquisition notifications, however, no award has been passed. Placing reliance upon the decisions of the Division Bench of this Court in the case of KARNATAKA INDUSTRIAL AREAS DEVELOPMENT BOARD vs K.H. SHIVANNA [W.A.No.557/2017] as also in the case of SPECIAL LAND ACQUISITION OFFICER, KIADB vs SMT. M. SHAKUNTHALAMMA AND OTHERS [W.A.No.6763/2017] which was affirmed by the Supreme Court in SLP(C) No.3767/2024, wherein prolonged delay in passing awards had been held fatal to acquisition proceedings, the learned Single Judge concluded that the acquisition proceedings could not be permitted to remain pending indefinitely. Accordingly, the acquisition notifications were quashed insofar as they related to the lands belonging to the petitioners. 10. Aggrieved by the said order dated 04.07.2025, the appellant-NICE has preferred the present batch of writ appeals. III SALIENT FEATURES OF THE FWA: 11. Integrated Infrastructure Corridor: The FWA envisages the BMICP as an integrated infrastructure development project WA No. 1214 of 2025 AND Connected Matters 234 and not merely as a road construction scheme. The project was conceived with the objective of facilitating the orderly development of Bengaluru by decongesting traffic, improving connectivity between Bengaluru and Mysuru, promoting industrial and commercial growth, generating employment and creating planned urban centres along the corridor. The FWA, therefore, treats the transportation infrastructure and urban development as inseparable components of a single integrated project. 12. Components of the Project: The FWA contemplates that the project would comprise not only construction of the expressway, peripheral roads and link roads, but also construction of 5 self-sustaining townships together with supporting infrastructure such as, power generation, water supply, sewage treatment, telecommunications, waste management and other civic amenities. The acquisition, finance, design, construction and implementation of all these components collectively constitute the infrastructure corridor envisaged under the FWA. 13. Construction of 5 Self-Sustaining Townships: The FWA specifically contemplates construction of 5 self-sustaining townships viz., Township Nos.1, 2, 4, 5 and 7 at the WA No. 1214 of 2025 AND Connected Matters 235 demarcated locations identified in the Project Technical Report (PTR). The original proposal for 7 townships was reduced to 5 in the final FWA to ensure planned and orderly regional development. Each township was assigned a distinct functional character such as, Corporate Centre, Industrial Centre, Eco- tourism Centre, Heritage Centre and Commercial Centre and was required to be developed only within the extent of land earmarked for that purpose. The townships were conceived as integral components of the infrastructure corridor and not as independent real estate developments. The PTR envisages the 5 townships with distinct functional identities, the salient features of which are as follows:- i) Township No. 1 – Corporate Township (2,792 acres): Situated on the outskirts of Bengaluru along both sides of the Expressway near the Outer Ring Road, Township No.1 was conceived as a Corporate Township. It was intended to house research and development centres, business establishments, hotels, a golf course and residential areas together with hospitals, educational institutions and other civic infrastructures. The township was designed as a self- contained urban centre with due regard to WA No. 1214 of 2025 AND Connected Matters 236 environmental protection through green belts and planned development. ii) Township No. 2 – Commercial Township (1,868 acres): Located approximately 10 kilometres from the Bengaluru urban boundary, Township No.2 was envisaged as a Commercial Township aimed at reducing urbanisation pressures on Bengaluru. The township was planned around a central commercial and institutional hub comprising of business centres, hotels, hospitals, educational institutions and public offices, with self-contained residential neighbourhoods supported by parks, schools, health care facilities and environmentally sustainable transport system. iii) Township No. 4 – Industrial Township (1,660 acres): Situated approximately 36 kilometres in the west of Bengaluru along the proposed Expressway, Township No.4 was planned as an Industrial Township. It was intended to accommodate various industrial establishments with supporting public infrastructure, green buffers and environmental safeguards, while providing modern industrial facilities with direct access to the Expressway. WA No. 1214 of 2025 AND Connected Matters 237 iv) Township No. 5 – Cultural and Residential Township (2,700 acres): Located near State Highway No.17 and the existing railway line, Township No.5 was conceived as a Cultural and Residential Township. The proposal included a fully equipped medical centre, hospitals, institutions for study of various systems of medicines, centres for religious and vedic studies together with residential development and supporting civic infrastructure. v) Township No. 7 – Eco-Tourism Township (4,010 acres): Situated approximately 3 kilometres from the Mysuru city and close to Kaveri River, Township No.7 was conceived as an Eco-Tourism Township. It was proposed to include amusement parks, golf courses, hotels, residential neighbourhoods, commercial establishments and public infrastructure, with the overall objective of promoting eco-tourism through planned urban development. 14. Nature and Composition of the Townships: The FWA envisages that each township would be a self-sustaining urban settlement and not merely a housing layout. Accordingly, every WA No. 1214 of 2025 AND Connected Matters 238 township was required to include not only residential development, but also schools, hospitals, shopping complexes, parks, open spaces, roads, water supply, electricity, sewage, conservancy and other socio-economic infrastructures. The objective was to ensure that each township function as a complete urban centre capable of supporting residential, commercial and industrial activities without depending on the existing urban infrastructure of Bengaluru. 15. Mandatory compliance with the FWA and PTR: The FWA mandates that every component of the project be implemented strictly in accordance with the specifications contained in the FWA read with the PTR. The land acquired for the project is required to be utilised only for the purposes contemplated therein and the project proponents are not at liberty to alter the location, nature or extent of the project components unilaterally. Any deviation from the approved land use, specifications or scope of work is permissible only upon obtaining the prior approval of the State Government. 16. Binding Nature of the obligations under the FWA: The Supreme Court has recognised that the rights of the project proponents to implement the BMICP flow primarily from the FWA and that the FWA defines both the scope of the project WA No. 1214 of 2025 AND Connected Matters 239 and the obligations of the parties. It was held that neither the supplementary agreements executed in the years 1999 and 2000 nor the Tripartite Agreement dated 09.08.2002 have diluted or modified the obligation to establish 5 self-sustaining townships at the designated locations. Consequently, the project proponents remain bound to execute the project only in the manner envisaged under the FWA read with the PTR and any departure therefrom can be undertaken only with the approval contemplated under the FWA. IV FINDINGS OF THE LEARNED SINGLE JUDGE: 17. The learned Single Judge held that the issue arose in the writ petitions was no longer res integra in view of the judgments of the Division Bench of this Court in the cases of K.H. SHIVANNA (supra) and SMT. SHAKUNTHALAMMA (supra), wherein it was held that the acquisition proceedings were liable to be quashed on account of inordinate delay in passing the awards. The learned Single Judge further held that the judgment in SHAKUNTHALAMMA (supra) was affirmed by the Supreme Court and had, therefore, attained the finality. It was also held that the delay in passing the awards in the case on hand is far more than the delay considered in the cases of K.H.SHIVANNA (supra) and SHAKUNTHALAMMA (supra). WA No. 1214 of 2025 AND Connected Matters 240 The learned Single Judge, therefore, concluded that the acquisition proceedings had remained incomplete for an unreasonably long period and could not be permitted to continue indefinitely. 18. While considering the objection raised by the NICE regarding the earlier judgments of the Supreme Court upholding the BMICP, the learned Single Judge has held that the present challenge was not directed against the validity of the project, the FWA or the acquisition notifications, instead, the challenge was to the subsequent failure on the part of the authorities to pass the awards despite lapse of decades. 19. Placing reliance on the decision of the Supreme Court in the case of ANIL KUMAR GUPTA vs STATE OF BIHAR AND OTHERS [(2012) 12 SCC 443], wherein it was held that the acquisition proceedings may give rise to fresh and distinct cause of action at different stages, the learned Single Judge held that the cause of action in the case on hand arose from prolonged inaction on the part of the acquiring authorities in passing the awards and not from the original acquisition notifications. WA No. 1214 of 2025 AND Connected Matters 241 20. The learned Single Judge has observed that the lands in question had not been utilised for expressway, peripheral road, link road, toll plazas or interchanges forming part of the BMICP. 21. The learned Single Judge observed that the petitioners had been subjected to acquisition proceedings for decades without determination of compensation and the prolonged pendency of the acquisition proceedings had adversely affected their rights and kept them under uncertainty for an unreasonable length of time. Therefore, the learned Single Judge quashed the acquisition proceedings insofar as the petitioners’ lands were concerned. V. SUBMISSIONS ON BEHALF OF THE APPELLANT-NICE: 22.

Mathapati and Mr. Gopal Shankar Narayan, appearing along with Mr. Nitin Prasad, learned counsel for the appellant- NICE have contended that the impugned order passed by the learned Single Judge is contrary to the statutory scheme of the KIAD Act, the binding judgments of the Supreme Court concerning the BMICP and the settled principles governing the acquisition proceedings. WA No. 1214 of 2025 AND Connected Matters 242 23. The learned Senior Counsels have submitted that the lands in question form part of the BMICP, which had been the subject matter of extensive litigations before the High Court as well as the Supreme Court and had attained finality long ago. Mr. D.L.N. Rao, learned Senior Counsel further submitted that the validity of the FWA, the BMICP Project, the public purpose underlying the acquisition, the acquisition notifications issued under the KIAD Act and the authority of the State Government to acquire lands for the project have been upheld by the Supreme Court in the case of STATE OF KARNATAKA vs ALL INDIA MANUFACTURERS ORGANIZATION [(2006) 4 SCC 683]. Even after the said judgment in ALL INDIA MANUFACTURERS ORGANIZATION (supra), the petitioners once again approached this Court in several rounds of litigation concerning the very same acquisition notifications which got culminated before the Supreme Court in the case of M. NAGABHUSHANA vs STATE OF KARNATAKA AND OTHERS [(2011) 3 SCC 408]. He has, therefore, submitted that once the acquisition proceedings has been upheld by the Supreme Court, the landowners could not be permitted to re-open the matter by raising fresh grounds at a subsequent stage. It is submitted that permitting repeated challenges to the same WA No. 1214 of 2025 AND Connected Matters 243 acquisition proceedings would undermine the doctrine of finality of litigation and frustrate the implementation of large public infrastructure projects. 24. The learned Senior Counsels have submitted that the learned Single Judge has failed to appreciate that the petitioners were indirectly attempting to achieve what had already been rejected in the earlier proceedings. A substantial portion of the arguments of the appellants was directed towards the legal effects of vesting under the KIAD Act. Once a declaration under Section 28(4) is issued and possession is taken in terms of Section 28(5) and (6) of the KIAD Act, the acquired lands vest absolutely in the State Government free from all encumbrances. Such vesting is complete, absolute and irreversible. Under such circumstances, the title of the original landowners stands extinguished, all encumbrances stand removed, the land becomes the property of the State and the acquisition proceedings cannot thereafter be invalidated. 25. It is further submitted by the learned Senior Counsels that unlike Section 11A of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, the KIAD Act does not provide for any statutory period for passing an award. Therefore, the delay by itself cannot invalidate the acquisition and no automatic lapse can be inferred, and that the WA No. 1214 of 2025 AND Connected Matters 244 Courts cannot apply limitation provisions into the KIAD Act where the legislature has consciously chosen not to prescribe one. 26. It is submitted that without appreciating the peculiar facts of the present case, the learned Single Judge has proceeded solely on the basis of the judgment in SMT. M. SHAKUNTHALAMMA (supra) which judgment cannot be treated as laying down an inflexible proposition that the acquisition proceedings automatically become invalid after a particular period. The learned Single Judge has also failed to independently examine the effects of statutory vesting under Section 28(5) and (6) of the KIAD Act. 27. The learned Senior Counsels submitted that the BMICP is one of the largest infrastructure projects undertaken in the State of Karnataka. The project was conceived to improve regional connectivity, reduce traffic congestion and promote industrial and economic development. However, the acquisition proceedings relating to the BMICP had remained heavily tangled in extensive litigations for several years. The repeated challenges raised by the landowners had substantially impeded the progress of the acquisition proceedings and therefore, the authorities could not be faulted entirely for the delay in passing WA No. 1214 of 2025 AND Connected Matters 245 the awards. The delay was occasioned by circumstances beyond the control of the acquiring authorities and ought not to have been treated as a ground for nullifying the acquisition proceedings itself. VI. SUBMISSIONS ON BEHALF OF THE STATE: 28. Prof. Ravivarma Kumar, learned Senior Counsel along with Mr. S.A.Ahmed, AAG and Mr. Siddharth Babu Rao, Speacial Counsel appearing for the State have submitted that the land acquisition process under the KIAD Act comprises of several distinct stages, each giving rise to an independent cause of action as held in ANIL KUMAR GUPTA (supra). It was further submitted that Section 28 of the KIAD Act contemplates different stages of acquisition and also a separate procedure for taking possession as held in the case of SMT. S JALAJA AND OTHERS vs UNION OF INDIA AND OTHERS [W.P. Nos.11209-11212/2019]. It is further submitted that the statutory steps as per the KIAD Act such as, issuance of notice to deliver possession under Section 28(6), taking possession by force under Section 28(7), transfer of possession to the beneficiary under Section 28(8), payment of compensation either by agreement or by passing an award under Section 29 etc., are yet to be taken. WA No. 1214 of 2025 AND Connected Matters 246 29. It is further submitted on behalf of the State that the land acquisition process cannot be treated as complete without determination of award and payment of compensation nor can the possession be taken as held in the cases of K.T. PLANTATION PRIVATE LIMITED vs STATE OF KARNATAKA [(2011) 9 SCC 1], TUKARAM KANA JOSHI vs MIDC [(2013) 1 SCC 353] and KOLKATA MUNCIPAL CORPORATION vs BIMAL KUMAR SHAH [(2024) 10 SCC 533]. 30. It is submitted that the question as to whether an award under the KIAD Act is required to be passed within a reasonable time is no longer res integra. This legal position is settled by the judgment of the Division Bench of this Court in the case of SPECIAL LAND ACQUISITION OFFICER, KIADB vs SMT. SHAKUNTHALAMMA [W.A.No.6763/2017] which was affirmed by the Supreme Court in SLP (C) No.3767/2024 and reiterated by this Court in the case of KIADB AND OTHERS vs K.H. SHIVANNA AND OTHERS [W.A.No.557/2021], wherein it has been held that although the KIAD Act does not prescribe a specific period for passing an award, the statutory power must nevertheless be exercised WA No. 1214 of 2025 AND Connected Matters 247 within a reasonable time and any unexplained delay in passing the award would vitiate the acquisition proceedings. 31. The learned Senior Counsel appearing for the State has produced various documents relating to implementation of the BMICP that highlight serious violations of the FWA. Referring to the Gazette Notifications dated 18.12.2008, 01.01.2010, 29.05.2010, 05.02.2011 as also the newspaper publications dated 06.07.2017, 30.06.2022, 30.06.2023, 30.06.2024, 30.06.2025, it is submitted that the appellant-NICE had revised the toll fees on several occasions without obtaining prior approval of the State Government as contemplated in the FWA. It was submitted that the lakes and tank-bed lands of various villages have been handed over to the appellant-NICE for the BMICP in violation of the judgment of the Supreme Court in the case of HINCHLAL TIWARI vs KAMALA DEVI AND OTHERS [(2001) 6 SCC 496], wherein it is held that the material resources of the community like forests, tanks, ponds, hillock, mountain etc., are nature’s bounty and they need to be protected. 32. It is further submitted on behalf of the State that one of the contentions urged by the appellant-NICE is that the Government has not given/acquired the extent of land as WA No. 1214 of 2025 AND Connected Matters 248 required under the FWA and therefore, the Government has been in violation of the FWA which has resulted in non- completion of the project in 25 years. However, the said contention of the appellant-NICE is not only false, but incorrect which is evident from the affidavit filed on behalf of the State in Contempt Petition (Civil) No.139/2012, that 554 acres of excess land had been handed over to the appellant-NICE for the said project. The said affidavit was accepted and on the basis of the said affidavit, the contempt proceedings were closed by the Supreme Court vide order dated 13.07.2012. VII SUBMISSIONS ON BEHALF OF THE KIADB: 33. Mr. Shashi Kiran Shetty, learned Senior Counsel appearing along with Mr. P.V. Chandrashekhar, the learned counsel for the KIADB has submitted that now the acquisition cannot be set aside and that, any grievance of petitioners- landowners should be addressed through compensation rather than quashing the whole acquisition process. It is further submitted that the acquisition proceedings has been upheld as valid in three separate rounds of litigation over nearly three decades both by this Court as well as by the Supreme Court and therefore, the subsequent proceedings are barred by the principles of res judicata. WA No. 1214 of 2025 AND Connected Matters 249 34. It is submitted that the impugned judgment and order passed by the learned Single Judge contradicts the Supreme Court’s directions in M. NAGABHUSHAN (supra). It is further submitted that the land cannot be divested once it is vested in the State under Sections 28(4) and (5) of the KIAD Act. Once the land vests in the State, the only right of the erstwhile landowners is to receive the compensation. The KIADB merely acquires the land under the directions of the State. The KIADB itself lacks the legal power to restore the acquired land to the owners. 35. The KIAD Act is a self-contained code which does not prescribe a time limit for passing of the awards. The Act contains no provision causing the acquisition to lapse because of delay. The landowner is entitled to payment of fair market value in cases involving delay and laches in payment of compensation as held in the case of BERNARD FRANCIS JOSEPH VAZ AND OTHERS vs GOVERNMENT OF KARNATAKA AND OTHERS [(2025) 7 SCC 580]. It is further submitted that a larger public interest must prevail and the acquisitions undertaken for public purposes should not be interfered with, particularly when they form part of a major infrastructure initiative. In support of this contention, the WA No. 1214 of 2025 AND Connected Matters 250 learned Senior Counsel has placed reliance on paragraph 27 of the judgment in the case of GIRIAS INVESTMENT (P) LTD. vs STATE OF KARNATAKA [(2008) 7 SCC 53] and paragraph 10 of the judgment in the case of RAMIKLAL BHUTTA V STATE OF MAHARASHTRA [(1997) 1 SCC 134]. VIII SUBMISSIONS ON BEHALF OF THE LANDOWNERS: 36. Mr. K.N. Phanindra, learned Senior Counsel appearing along with Smt. Vaishali Hegde, learned Counsel, Mr.H.N.Shashidhara, learned Senoir Counsel appearing along with Mr. H.S. Suhas, learned counsel and Smt. Maitreyi Krishnan, the learned counsel appearing for the landowners have supported the impugned judgment and order passed by the learned Single Judge and contended that no grounds are made out for interference by this Court in exercise of the appellate jurisdiction. 37. The learned Senior Counsels have submitted that although the preliminary notifications were issued between the years 1998 and 2009 and the final notifications between the years 2003 and 2009, admittedly, no awards have been passed in respect of the lands belonging to the petitioners. The delay ranges from approximately 11 years to 23 years. It is contended that the power of compulsory acquisition cannot be WA No. 1214 of 2025 AND Connected Matters 251 exercised in a manner that permits the State to keep the acquisition proceedings pending indefinitely. 38. Learned Senior counsels submitted that the authorities, having failed to perform their statutory obligations for decades, cannot be permitted to justify their own inaction to defeat the rights of the landowners. The present case is squarely covered by the judgments of this Court in the cases of K.H. SHIVANNA (supra) and SHAKUNTHALAMMA (supra). It is submitted that in K.H. SHIVANNA (supra), a delay of approximately 9 years in passing the award was held fatal to the acquisition proceedings and likewise in SHAKUNTHALAMMA (supra), a delay of approximately 11 years resulted in quashing of the acquisition proceedings. Thus, the present case stand on a much stronger footing since the delay extends up to 23 years and the learned Single Judge has merely applied a binding precedent and committed no error warranting interference. 39. It is further submitted that even though the KIAD Act does not prescribe a limitation period for passing of the awards, the law is well settled that every statutory power must be exercised within a reasonable time. In support of their submission, reliance is placed upon the judgments of the Supreme Court in the cases of Dr.N. LAKSHMIPATHI BABU WA No. 1214 of 2025 AND Connected Matters 252 vs GOVERNMENT OF KARNATAKA AND OTHERS [2016 SCC OnLine Kar 4526] and KOLKATA MUNCIPAL CORPORATION AND ANOTHER vs BIMAL KUMAR SHAH AND OTHERS [2024 SCC OnLine SC 968]. It is, therefore, submitted that a delay extending beyond two decades can never be regarded as reasonable and the authorities have failed to offer any satisfactory explanation for such an inordinate delay. 40. The learned Senior Counsels have strongly disputed the contention of the KIADB that mere vesting of land under Section 28(5) of the KIAD Act concludes the acquisition process. It is further submitted that compulsory acquisition is founded upon two inseparable elements viz., (i) acquisition for public purpose; and (ii) payment of compensation. The State cannot rely upon vesting while indefinitely postponing determination of compensation and the vesting contemplated under Section 28(5) cannot be viewed in isolation from the remainder of the acquisition process, particularly the statutory obligation to determine the compensation and complete the acquisition proceedings in accordance with the law. 41. The learned Senior Counsels for the landowners have placed reliance on the judgments in the cases of K.T. WA No. 1214 of 2025 AND Connected Matters 253 PLANTATION PVT. LTD. vs STATE OF KARNATAKA [(2011) 9 SCC 1]; VIDYA DEVI vs STATE OF HIMACHAL PRADESH [(2020) 2 SCC 569] and HARI KRISHNA MANDIR TRUST vs STATE OF MAHARASHTRA [(2020) 9 SCC 356] to submit that although the right to property is no longer a fundamental right, it remains a constitutional right protected under Article 300A of the Constitution of India. 42. It is further submitted that many of the lands acquired from the petitioners-landowners have not been utilized for the expressway, interchanges, toll plazas, peripheral roads or link roads forming part of BMICP. It is also submitted that despite lapse of several years, the appellant-NICE has failed to place any material demonstrating utilization of the lands of the petitioners-landowners for the intended public purpose. Despite such prejudice, neither award has been determined nor compensation has been paid and thus, the acquisition process is incomplete and that equity cannot permit the State to take advantage of their own prolonged inaction. 43. Mr. H.N. Shashidhara, learned Senior Counsel has produced the Research Report of the Institute for Social and Economic Change (ISEC), registered Sale Deeds, Sale Agreements, Joint Development Agreements and the Annual WA No. 1214 of 2025 AND Connected Matters 254 Reports of the appellant-NICE and submitted that these documents disclose the manner in which the project has been implemented over the years. The ISEC report records deviations from the FWA, while the registered documents and the Annual Reports of the appellant-NICE indicate the transactions relating to the acquired lands, capitalization of completed project assets and revenue generated through the sale of land and toll collections and these subsequent developments are relevant while examining whether the acquisition continues to satisfy the requirement of public purpose under the KIAD Act. IX POINTS FOR CONSIDERATION: 44. Having considered the aforesaid submissions, the following points arise for consideration in the present appeals: 1. Whether the acquisition proceedings, though validly initiated under the provisions of the KIAD Act and culminating in statutory vesting, can nevertheless be sustained when the acquiring authorities have failed to determine the compensation by passing the awards for over two decades? 2. Whether the material placed on record regarding implementation of the BMICP disclosing deviations WA No. 1214 of 2025 AND Connected Matters 255 from the FWA is sufficient to disentitle the appellant- NICE from seeking interference with the order passed by the learned Single Judge in exercise of the appellate jurisdiction? 3. Whether the earlier judgments of the Supreme Court upholding the validity of the BMICP and the acquisition proceedings thereon, operate as a bar to challenge the acquisition on the principles of res judicata and doctrine of finality of litigation? X ANALYSIS AND FINDINGS: 45. Re. Point No.1: The acquisition of the petitioners' lands forms part of the BMICP, a project conceived for the development of an integrated infrastructure corridor connecting Bengaluru and Mysuru. The acquisition was undertaken under the provisions of the KIAD Act for implementation of the project in furtherance of a public purpose. The FWA dated 03.04.1997 executed between the State Government and the NICE-project proponent constituted the basis upon which the project was conceptualized, delineating the scope of the project, the obligations of the project proponent and the broad manner in which the project was to be implemented. WA No. 1214 of 2025 AND Connected Matters 256 46. At the outset, it is necessary to ascertain the actual dispute which requires consideration in the present appeals. Much emphasis has been laid by the learned Senior Counsels appearing for the appellant-NICE on the legal consequences flowing from sub-section (4), (5) and (6) of Section 28 of the KIAD Act. It has been repeatedly asserted that once the final declaration is issued under Section 28(4) and possession is taken in accordance with the KIAD Act, the land vests absolutely in the State Government free from all encumbrances and such vesting is complete and irreversible. It is further submitted that the KIAD Act does not prescribe any period within which an award is required to be passed and, therefore, mere delay in determining the compensation cannot invalidate the acquisition proceedings. 47. The above submission, though plausible at the first glance, proceeds on the assumption that statutory vesting is the culmination of the acquisition process. In our considered opinion, this argument overlooks an equally significant facet of compulsory acquisition i.e., the constitutional obligation of the State to determine and pay the compensation within a reasonable period. The question before us is not whether the acquisition notifications were validly issued or whether the WA No. 1214 of 2025 AND Connected Matters 257 lands stood vested absolutely in the State Government under the KIAD Act. Those issues have attained finality in the earlier rounds of litigation. The real question which arises in the present appeals is whether the State, having invoked the power of eminent domain and deprived the citizens of their property, can indefinitely postpone the determination of compensation without any explanation and still insists that the acquisition must remain operative solely because vesting has taken place. The distinction assumes considerable importance. The grievance projected by the petitioners-landowners is entirely different. It is founded upon the admitted failure of the acquiring authorities to complete the acquisition proceedings by determining the compensation despite lapse of extra-ordinarily long period after issuance of the acquisition notifications. 48. The fact of non-passing of the award by the acquiring authorities is not in dispute. As mentioned above, the preliminary notifications under Section 28(1) of the KIAD Act came to be issued between 1998 to 2009, while the corresponding final declarations under Section 28(4) were issued between 2003 and 2009. The lands belonging to the petitioners formed part of these notifications. Despite passage of time ranging to more than 23 years, admittedly, no awards WA No. 1214 of 2025 AND Connected Matters 258 determining the compensation have been passed in respect of the lands belonging to the petitioners. The learned Single Judge has specifically recorded these undisputed facts which have not been disputed before us either by NICE or the KIADB. 49. The consequence of such prolonged inaction cannot be underestimated. From the date of issuance of the notifications, the petitioners have remained under continuous disability in relation to their properties. Their rights stood severely restricted and their ability to alienate, develop, cultivate, mortgage or otherwise to deal with the lands became substantially impaired. At the same time, payment of compensation, which constitutes indispensable consequence of compulsory acquisition, remained undetermined. Thus, while the State asserts that the lands have vested absolutely in it, the landowners have neither retained the ownership nor received the compensation which the law contemplates as the inevitable corollary of compulsory acquisition. Such a state of affairs, if permitted to continue indefinitely, would reduce the constitutional rights guaranteed under Article 300A to a mere formality. 50. It is true that the KIAD Act does not prescribe a specific period within which an award is required to be passed. WA No. 1214 of 2025 AND Connected Matters 259 However, the absence of an express statutory limitation cannot be construed as conferring an unrestricted licence upon the acquiring authority to postpone the passing of the award indefinitely. It is a settled principle of the administrative law that whenever a statute confers power upon a public authority without prescribing any period for its exercise, such power must nevertheless be exercised within a reasonable time. Reasonableness is an inbuilt limitation and the public authorities cannot keep such power in abeyance indefinitely to the prejudice of the citizens. The acceptance of contrary proposition would result in the State initiating acquisition proceedings, depriving the landowners from enjoying their properties and thereafter, postponing determination of compensation for decades merely because the statute does not expressly prescribe the limitation period. Such an interpretation would be wholly inconsistent with the constitutional governance and the rule of law. 51. The Supreme Court, while interpreting Article 300A of the Constitution, has consistently emphasised that deprivation of the property of the landowner cannot be sustained merely by reference to the statutory authority. The procedure adopted by the State must also satisfy the requirements of fairness, WA No. 1214 of 2025 AND Connected Matters 260 reasonableness and non-arbitrariness. The right to property, though no longer a fundamental right, continues to enjoy the constitutional protection under Article 300A. The power of compulsory acquisition is, therefore, accompanied by a corresponding obligation to ensure that the owner receives just compensation through a fair and expeditious process. The constitutional balance lies not merely in the power to acquire, but equally in the obligation to compensate the landowner. 52. In the case of K.T. PLANTATION PVT. LTD. vs STATE OF KARNATAKA [(2011) 9 SCC 1], the Constitution Bench of the Supreme Court recognized that Article 300A embodies a constitutional limitation upon the State's power to deprive a person of his property. Likewise, in the case of VIDYA DEVI vs STATE OF HIMACHAL PRADESH [(2020) 2 SCC 569], the Supreme Court reiterated that the right to property remains a valuable constitutional right and that the State cannot appropriate the private property except in accordance with a just, fair and reasonable procedure. Again, in the case of HARI KRISHNA MANDIR TRUST vs STATE OF MAHARASHTRA [(2020) 9 SCC 356], it has been held that the State cannot deprive the citizens of their property by adopting procedures which are arbitrary or unfair. These authorities demonstrate WA No. 1214 of 2025 AND Connected Matters 261 that compulsory acquisition is not merely a statutory exercise of power, but one must conform to the constitutional standards of fairness throughout. 53. This Court, in the case of SRI MUKESH KUMAR vs STATE OF KARNATAKA AND OTHERS [W.A.No.4647/2013], has explained the process of acquisition and disposal of lands as provided under Sections 28 and 29 of the KIAD Act. The relevant paragraphs of the said judgment are extracted hereunder: “18. The acquisition and disposal of land is provided in Chapter VII of the KIAD Act. Sections 28 and 29, which are relevant, are extracted hereunder:- "28. Acquisition of land.- (1) If at any time, in the opinion of the State Government, any land is required for the purpose of development by the Board, or for any other purpose in furtherance of the objects of this Act, the State Government may by notification, give notice of its intention to acquire such land. (2) On publication of a notification under subsection (1), the State Government shall serve notice upon the owner or where the owner is not the occupier, on the occupier of the land and on all such persons known or believed to be interested therein to show cause, within thirty days from the date of service of the notice, why the land should not be acquired. WA No. 1214 of 2025 AND Connected Matters 262 (3) After considering the cause, if any, shown by the owner of the land and by any other person interested therein, and after giving such owner and person an opportunity of being heard, the State Government may pass such orders as it deems fit. (4) After orders are passed under sub- section (3), where the State Government is satisfied that any land should be acquired for the purpose specified in the notification issued under sub-section (1), a declaration shall, by notification in the official Gazette, be made to that effect. (5) On the publication in the official Gazette of the declaration under sub- section (4), the land shall vest absolutely in the State Government free from all encumbrances. (6) Where any land is vested in the State Government under sub-section (5), the State Government may, by notice in writing, order any person who may be in possession of the land to surrender or deliver possession thereof to the State Government or any person duly authorised by it in this behalf within thirty days of the service of the notice. (7) If any person refuses or fails to comply with an order made under sub-section (5), the State Government or any officer authorised by the State Government in this behalf may take possession of the land and may for that purpose use such force as may be necessary. (8) Where the land has been acquired for the Board, the State Government, after it has taken possession of the land, may transfer the land to the Board for the WA No. 1214 of 2025 AND Connected Matters 263 purpose for which the land has been acquired. 29. Compensation- (1) Where any land is acquired by the State Government under this Chapter, the State Government shall pay for such acquisition compensation in accordance with the provisions of this Act. (2) Where the amount of compensation has been determined by agreement between the State Government and the person to be compensated, it shall be paid in accordance with such agreement. (3) Where no such agreement can be reached, the State Government shall refer the case to the Deputy Commissioner for determination of the amount of compensation to be paid for such acquisition as also the person or persons to whom such compensation shall be paid. (4) On receipt of a reference under sub- section (3), the Deputy Commissioner shall serve notice on the owner or occupier of such land and on all persons known or believed to be interested herein to appear before him and state their respective interests in the said land." 19. Section 28 provides a complete machinery in respect of the method and manner in which the land can be acquired by the State Government, non-compliance of any of the provisions would render the acquisition invalid, illegal and fraud on statute. Sub-section (1) of Section 28 specifically provides that the State Government may acquire the land for the purpose of development by the Board or for any other purpose in furtherance of the objects of the Act. If the land is not acquired either for the purpose of WA No. 1214 of 2025 AND Connected Matters 264 development by the Board or for any other purpose in furtherance of the objects of the Act, such acquisition is nothing but a mala fide and illegal and colourable exercise of power and a fraud on statute and Constitution in exercising the eminent domain by the State. 20. Sub-section (2) of Section 28 provides an opportunity for filing objections by the landowners or other interested persons and sub-section (3) provides for considering the objections and affording an opportunity of hearing to them. After the aforesaid exercise is undertaken, then only the final notification is to be issued under sub-section (4) of Section 28 of the Act. Under sub-section (5), it is provided that on publication of the final notification under sub-section (4), the land vests absolutely in the State Government free from all encumbrances, but sub-section (6) requires the Government Authorities to serve a notice in writing and order on the person who is in possession of the land to surrender or deliver the possession thereof to the State Government within thirty days of the service of the notice. Sub-section (7) provides that if such a person refuses or fails to comply with the order made under sub-section (5), the State Government may take possession of the land by using the force as may be necessary. 21. Under Section 29 of the KIAD Act, the Government is under a statutory and constitutional obligation to pay adequate compensation in accordance with the provisions of the Act for the land acquired, and if the landowner is not satisfied with the compensation, the reference has to be made to the Deputy Commissioner for WA No. 1214 of 2025 AND Connected Matters 265 determination of the amount of compensation to be paid for such acquisition. Before deciding the reference, the Deputy Commissioner is required to serve a notice on the owner and on all such persons who are interested in the land, to appear before him and to state their respective interests in the land so acquired. 22. Thus, Sections 28 and 29 provide a complete mechanism for acquiring the land under the provisions of the KIAD Act i.e., issuing the notification under Section 28(1), filing the objections, considering the objections, providing opportunity of hearing, issuing the final notification under Section 28(4), issuing notice to surrender or deliver possession of the land to the State Government and thereafter, for payment of compensation. All the steps are to be taken in the manner as provided for in the statute and if time has not been granted for filing the objections or the objectors have not been heard or no notice has been issued for surrendering possession or no compensation has been paid, then the land acquisition proceedings cannot be said to be complete and would be susceptible to be declared illegal and ultra vires the statute and the Constitution of India being in violation of Articles 14, 21 and 300A of the Constitution.” 54. It is one thing to hold that vesting is complete whereas, it is altogether another to hold that once vesting takes place, the State is relieved of its continuing statutory and constitutional obligation to determine and pay the compensation within reasonable time. The concept of vesting cannot be expanded to WA No. 1214 of 2025 AND Connected Matters 266 obliterate the corresponding duty cast upon the acquiring authority. Vesting answers the question of title. It does not answer the question whether the State can indefinitely postpone payment of compensation after depriving the citizens of their property. 55. If the submissions advanced on behalf of the appellant- NICE were to be accepted, it would result in startling consequences. This means that although the State acquires the property compulsorily and the owner loses all effective incidents of ownership, the determination of compensation could be deferred indefinitely without any legal consequences. Such an interpretation would render the constitutional right guaranteed under Article 300A entirely illusory and would permit arbitrary deprivation of property without temporal limitation. We are unable to attribute such an intention either to the Legislature or to the constitutional scheme. 56. No satisfactory explanation has been placed on record justifying such an inordinate delay. The only explanation given is that the project was embroiled in prolonged litigations. While the earlier litigation may explain the delay during a particular period, it cannot constitute a blanket justification for decades of inaction, particularly after the legality of the project and the WA No. 1214 of 2025 AND Connected Matters 267 acquisition had been upheld by the Supreme Court. Once the impediments arising from the litigation stood removed, the statutory authorities were expected to proceed with expedition in determining the compensation. The failure on the part of the authorities to do so cannot now be justified by relying upon the very delay occasioned by their own inaction. 57. The Division Bench of this Court, in K.H. SHIVANNA (supra), has considered a delay of approximately 9 years in passing the award and held that such a delay is unreasonable. Subsequently, in M. SHAKUNTHALAMMA (supra), the delay of 11 years in passing the award was considered and the acquisition proceedings were quashed, which decision has admittedly been affirmed by the Supreme Court. However, the delay involved in the present batch of appeals is substantially greater i.e, beyond two decades. 58. The absence of an express limitation cannot be equated with the absence of a legal obligation. A statutory authority is expected to exercise every statutory power diligently, fairly and within a reasonable period, more particularly when the exercise of such power has a direct bearing upon the constitutional rights of citizens. The doctrine of "reasonable time" is not an external principle sought to be engrafted upon the statute; it is WA No. 1214 of 2025 AND Connected Matters 268 an inherent limitation upon every statutory power unless the Legislature expressly provides otherwise. The Supreme Court has repeatedly held that where a statute is silent as to the time within which a power is to be exercised, the authority is nevertheless required to act within a reasonable period. The requirement of reasonableness thus permeates every administrative action. This principle assumes even greater significance in matters of compulsory acquisition, where the State exercises the extraordinary power of eminent domain. 59. The paragraphs of the judgment of the Constitution Bench in the case of K.T. PLANTATION (supra) which is revelant for the case on hand is extracted hereunder: "Public purpose 180. Deprivation of property within the meaning of Article 300A, generally speaking, must take place for public purpose or public interest. The concept of eminent domain which applies when a person is deprived of his property postulates that the purpose must be primarily public and not primarily of private interest and merely incidentally beneficial to the public. Any law, which deprives a person of his private property for private interest, will be unlawful and unfair and undermines the rule of law and can be subjected to judicial review. But the question as to whether the purpose is primarily public or private, has to be decided by the legislature, which of course should be made known. 181. The concept of public purpose has been given fairly expansive meaning which has to be justified upon the purpose and object of the WA No. 1214 of 2025 AND Connected Matters 269 statute and the policy of the legislation. Public purpose is, therefore, a condition precedent, for invoking Article 300A. Compensation 182. We have found that the requirement of public purpose is invariably the rule for depriving a person of his property, violation of which is amenable to judicial review. Let us now examine whether the requirement of payment of compensation is the rule after the deletion of Article 31(2). 183. Payment of compensation amount is a constitutional requirement under Article 30(1- A) and under the second proviso to Article 31-A(1), unlike Article 300- A. After the Forty-fourth Amendment Act, 1978, the constitutional obligation to pay compensation to a person who is deprived of his property primarily depends upon the terms of the statute and the legislative policy. Article 300A, however, does not prohibit the payment of just compensation when a person is deprived of his property, but the question is whether a person is entitled to get compensation, as a matter of right, in the absence of any stipulation in the statute, depriving him of his property. 189. Requirement of public purpose, for deprivation of a person of his property under Article 300-A, is a precondition, but no compensation or nil compensation or its illusiveness has to be justified by the State on judicially justiciable standards. Measures designed to achieve greater social justice, may call for lesser compensation and such a limitation by itself will not make legislation invalid or unconstitutional or confiscatory. In other words, the right to claim compensation or the obligation to pay, though not expressly included in Article 300-A, it can be inferred in that article and it is for the State to justify its stand on justifiable grounds which may depend upon the legislative policy, object and purpose of the statute and host of other factors. 190. Article 300-A would be equally violated if the provisions of law authorizing deprivation of property have not been complied with. While enacting Article 300-A Parliament has only WA No. 1214 of 2025 AND Connected Matters 270 borrowed Article 31(1) (the "Rule of law" doctrine) and not Article 31(2) (which had embodied the doctrine of eminent domain). Article 300-A enables the State to put restrictions on the right to property by law. That law has to be reasonable. It must comply with other provisions of the Constitution. The limitation or restriction should not be arbitrary or excessive or what is beyond what is required in public interest. The limitation or restriction must not be disproportionate to the situation or excessive. 191. The legislation providing for deprivation of property under Article 300-A must be "just, fair and reasonable" as understood in terms of Articles 14, 19(1)(g), 26(b), 301, etc. Thus in each case, courts will have to examine the scheme of the impugned Act, its object, purpose as also the question whether payment of nil compensation or nominal compensation would make the impugned law unjust, unfair or unreasonable in terms of other provisions of the Constitution as indicated above. 192. At this stage, we may clarify that there is a difference between "no" compensation and "nil" compensation. A law seeking to acquire private property for public purpose cannot say that "no compensation shall be paid". However, there could be a law awarding "nil" compensation in cases where the State undertakes to discharge the liabilities charged on the property under acquisition and onus is on the Government to establish validity of such law. In the latter case, the court in exercise of judicial review will test such a law keeping in mind the above parameters. 193. Right to property no more remains an overarching guarantee in our Constitution, then is it the law, that such a legislation enacted under the authority of law as provided in Article 300-A is immune from challenge before a constitutional court for violation of Articles 14, 21 or the overarching principle of the rule of law, a basic feature of our Constitution, especially when such a right is not specifically incorporated in Article 300-A, unlike Article 30(1- A) and the second proviso to Article 31-A(1)" WA No. 1214 of 2025 AND Connected Matters 271 60. The aforesaid principles have been reiterated by the Supreme Court in the case of KOLKATA MUNICIPAL CORPORATION AND ANOTHER vs BIMAL KUMAR SHAH AND OTHERS [(2024) 10 SCC 533] and further held that the right to property has to be given broader and meaningful interpretation. The right to property has seven sub-rights and it does not limit to twin components of public purpose and compensation. The seven sub-rights or strands constituting the right to property, which are non-exhaustive, have been enumerated as under:- "(i) The duty of the State to inform the person that it intends to acquire his property - the right to notice, (ii) The duty of the State to hear objections to the acquisition - the right to be heard, (iii) The duty of the State to inform the person of its decision to acquire - the right to a reasoned decision, (iv) The duty of the State to demonstrate that the acquisition is for public purpose - the duty to acquire only for public purpose, (v) The duty of the State to restitute and rehabilitate - the right of restitution or fair compensation, (vi) The duty of the State to conduct the process of acquisition efficiently and within prescribed timelines of the proceedings - the right to an efficient and expeditious process, and (vii) The final conclusion of the proceedings leading to vesting - the right of conclusion.” WA No. 1214 of 2025 AND Connected Matters 272 61. In view of the aforesaid discussions, we are of the considered view that although the lands stood vested in the State under the provisions of the KIAD Act, such vesting does not dispense with the statutory and constitutional obligation of the acquiring authorities to determine and pay the compensation within a reasonable time. The admitted failure on the part of the authorities to pass the awards for more than two decades coupled with the absence of any satisfactory explanation for such an inordinate delay renders the acquisition proceedings unsustainable. The learned Single Judge has, therefore, committed no error in quashing the acquisition proceedings insofar as they relate to the petitioners' lands. Hence, the point No.1 answered in affirmative and against the appellants. 62. Re. Point No.2: While deciding point No.1, we have held that the inordinate and unexplained delay extending over two decades in passing the awards is by itself sufficient to sustain the conclusion reached by the learned Single Judge. However, the matter does not rest there. The petitioners have produced considerable material to demonstrate the manner in which the BMICP has been implemented which has materially deviated WA No. 1214 of 2025 AND Connected Matters 273 from the public purpose for which the lands were originally acquired. Since the appellant-NICE has repeatedly urged that the acquisition must be protected on the ground that it forms part of a major public infrastructure project, it becomes necessary to examine whether the material now placed before this Court lends support to that submission. 63. It is well settled that a party seeking equitable relief before the Court must demonstrate fairness in implementing the project. Where the conduct of the acquiring authorities or the beneficiary of the acquisition gives rise to a substantial doubt regarding the adherence to the very public purpose for which compulsory acquisition was undertaken, the Court cannot ignore such circumstances while exercising the appellate jurisdiction, under the Article 226 of the Constitution of India. 64. In the case of BANGALORE MYSORE INFRASTRUCTURE CORRIDOR AREA PLANNING AUTHORITY & ANR. vs NANDI INFRASTRUCTURE CORRIDOR ENTERPRISE LTD. & ORS. [(2021) 18 SCC 401], the Supreme Court has critically evaluated whether a project proponent could unilaterally modify the structural terms of the FWA and held that the BMICP was governed strictly by the FWA and PTR, which explicitly mandated the creation of 5 WA No. 1214 of 2025 AND Connected Matters 274 self-sustained townships at specified locations. The Supreme Court emphasized that under Article 7.1 of the FWA, any deviation or modification from the agreed upon plan requires prior written approval from the State Government or its designated Empowered Committee. Bypassing this hierarchy to seek building permission directly from the BMICP Authority rendered the application legally non-existent (non est). Furthermore, the Supreme Court has addressed the argument regarding land use permissions under the Outline Development Plan (ODP) or Master Plan. It was held that the classification of land as residential under the Master Plan does not, by itself, permit the project proponent to develop standalone residential projects on the land acquired for the specific purpose of implementing the BMICP under the FWA. The Supreme Court concluded that land use classifications in an ODP cannot override the contractual obligations and intended spatial design set out in the FWA and PTR. 65. Mr. H.N. Shashidhara, learned Senior Counsel appearing for the landowners has produced before this Court, a report prepared by the Institute for Social and Economic Change (ISEC) which is an All India Institute for Interdisciplinary Research and Training in the Social Sciences getting grant-in- WA No. 1214 of 2025 AND Connected Matters 275 aid from the Government of Karnataka and which works with the Central, State and Local Governments as well as international agencies. He has also placed before us several registered sale deeds, sale agreements, Joint Development Agreements, annual reports and financial statements of the appellant-NICE covering the period from 2008-09 to 2023-24. However, the principal submission of the appellant-NICE is that these materials are irrelevant since the legality of the acquisition already stands concluded. We are unable to accept such a broad proposition. 66. The relevance of these documents does not lie in re- opening the legality of the acquisition notifications. Rather, they throw light upon the manner in which the lands were acquired by invoking the power of eminent domain and whether the implementation of the project has remained consistent with the public purpose originally projected before the Court. One of the principal circumstances emerging from the ISEC Report relates to the extent of land acquired for implementation of the project. The FWA contemplated acquisition of 20,193 acres of land for the BMICP. Out of this, 6,999 acres were earmarked for road components viz., Expressway, Peripheral Road and Link Road, while 13,194 acres were earmarked for 5 proposed WA No. 1214 of 2025 AND Connected Matters 276 townships. The report, however, records that the subsequent planning documents, particularly the Outline Development Plan dated 12.02.2004 has altered this distribution by increasing the land requirement for the road components to 9,471 acres, while correspondingly reducing the land earmarked for the township component by 2,472 acres. However, no satisfactory explanation has been furnished for this substantial re- distribution of land between different project components and the excess acquisition of land. Further, the affidavit filed by the State before the Supreme Court in Contempt Petition (C) No.139/2012 states that '554 acres of excess land has been handed over to the appellant-NICE' (emphasis supplied). The said affidavit was accepted and on the basis of the said affidavit, the contempt proceedings were closed by the Supreme Court vide order dated 13.07.2012. 67. The report further records that acquisition proceedings ultimately extended to a substantially larger extent in several villages situated in Bengaluru Urban and Ramanagara districts than what was originally contemplated under the FWA. According to the report, such enlargement facilitated availability of additional parcels of land possessing significant commercial value. Whether this conclusion ultimately withstand WA No. 1214 of 2025 AND Connected Matters 277 the judicial scrutiny is not the immediate issue before us. Nevertheless, these findings undoubtedly constitute relevant circumstances while examining the question whether the acquisition proceedings which have remained incomplete for decades ought to be sustained or not. 68. The landowners have also relied upon several registered transactions executed by the appellant-NICE in respect of the lands forming part of the project. The documents placed before this Court disclose Joint Development Agreements dated 31.03.2011 executed with Umang Realtech Private Limited covering 10 acres 21 guntas situated at Madavara Village and with Dhammanagi Developers Private Limited covering 20 acres 33 guntas situated at Kengeri Village. These agreements pertain to multiple survey numbers that contemplate commercial development of substantial extents of project land through private developers. 69. Similarly, the material includes a registered Sale Deed dated 14.01.2015 executed in favour of SBK Properties Private Limited relating to 12 acres situated at Pillaganahalli Village and a Sale Agreement dated 15.04.2015 executed with Darshita Housing Private Limited covering 13 acres 30 guntas in the very same village. Further, 3 Sale Agreements dated WA No. 1214 of 2025 AND Connected Matters 278 16.07.2008 were executed with Ajmera Housing Corporation relating to the lands situated in Varahasandra, B.M. Kaval and KengeriGollahalli Villages covering an aggregate extent of approximately 54 acres. Collectively, the documents placed before this Court relate to approximately 110 acres of land spread across Madavara, Kengeri, Pillaganahalli, Varahasandra, B.M. Kaval and KengeriGollahalli Villages. It is not the execution of these transactions alone which assumes significance. Their cumulative effect indicates that the lands acquired for implementation of a public infrastructure project were subsequently made the subject matter of registered conveyances, Joint Development Agreements and commercial arrangements with the private developers. The financial disclosures contained in the annual reports of NICE reinforce this position. 70. The annual reports produced before us reveal that as early as the financial year 2008-09, the Company disclosed income from sale of land. By 2010-11, the Company had disclosed receipt of advances towards sale of land and Joint Development Agreements entered into with various parties. The Annual Report for the year 2013-14 records that the Company intended to mobilise financial resources through disposal of WA No. 1214 of 2025 AND Connected Matters 279 developed land parcels and development of land on a Joint Development basis. During the financial year 2014-15, the Company disclosed receipt of approximately Rs.2,706.3 million from the sale of developed land as against toll collections of approximately Rs.1,879.2 million. Likewise, during 2015-16, the financial statements disclose approximately Rs.27.48 crores received from sale of developed land, while toll revenue stood at approximately Rs.219.82 crores. Even in 2016-17, the Company separately disclosed the income of approximately Rs.16 crores from sale of the land. The subsequent balance sheets consistently disclose the advances received towards the sale of land and the Joint Development Agreements ranging between Rs.36 crores and Rs.48 crores under non-current liabilities together with advances of approximately Rs.56 crores under other liabilities. These financial disclosures are not isolated entries. They depict a continuing commercial pattern extending over several financial years wherein sale of developed land, Joint Development Agreements and monetisation of project lands constituted recurring sources of revenue alongside toll collections. Though these disclosures may not by themselves determine the legality of every transaction, they undoubtedly constitute relevant materials WA No. 1214 of 2025 AND Connected Matters 280 while appreciating the manner in which the project has been implemented. 71. The report also refers to several mortgage transactions, lease arrangements and Joint Development Agreements executed in respect of the acquired lands and records that the project lands were utilised as security for raising finance from banks and financial institutions. It further records that the acquired lands became the subject matter of extensive commercial development involving residential layouts, commercial complexes, technology parks, hotels and other revenue generating assets. These facts prima facie indicate that developable land constituted an important commercial asset forming part of the financial model adopted for implementation of the BMICP. 72. The landowners have further placed reliance upon the extracts from the Company's Annual Reports showing that completed portions of the Link Road and Peripheral Road were capitalised as assets in the financial statements of the Company. The significance of such disclosures lies not in conclusively establishing any illegality, but in appreciating whether the implementation of the project has remained confined to the public purpose for which compulsory acquisition WA No. 1214 of 2025 AND Connected Matters 281 was undertaken. In our view, it is a fraud on the statute and Constitution. The State authorities are accomplice in this fraud and gross breaches and violations of the FWA. The proposed project has not done any public good or served any public purpose except to benefit the project proponent in unimaginable properties. The project was though conceived for public purpose, but it has served only private interests of the project proponents. 73. Further, the appellant-NICE has violated the FWA by increasing the toll fees on various occasions without seeking the prior approval of the State which is evident from the documents submitted by the State itself. The lakes and tank- bed lands of various villages have been handed over to the appellant-NICE in violation of the judgment of the Supreme Court in the case of HINCHLAL TIWARI vs KAMALA DEVI AND OTHERS [(2001) 6 SCC 496], wherein it was held that the material resources of the community like forests, tanks, ponds, hillock, mountain etc. are nature's bounty. They maintain delicate ecological balance. They need to be protected for a proper and healthy environment which enables people to enjoy a quality life which is the essence of the guaranteed right under Article 21 of the Constitution. Viewed together, these WA No. 1214 of 2025 AND Connected Matters 282 facts become relevant while considering whether the acquisition continues to satisfy the public purpose for which the power of eminent domain was invoked. 74. Another fact which cannot be ignored is the finding recorded by the learned Single Judge that the landowners specifically contended that many of the acquired lands had not been utilised for the Expressway, Peripheral Road, Link Road, toll plazas or inter-changes and that such submission remained substantially undisputed by the otherside. The learned Single Judge has taken note of this fact while appreciating the prejudice caused to the landowners. 75. This Court cannot altogether ignore the material which prima facie indicates that the lands acquired through compulsory acquisition have, over a period of years, become inter-twined with substantial commercial transactions extending beyond construction of road infrastructure.The appellant-NICE seeks to set aside the order passed by the learned Single Judge primarily on the premise that the acquisition formed part of a project conceived in larger public interest. However, the implementation of that very project is accompanied by commercial exploitation of acquired lands, alteration of land utilisation, execution of Joint Development Agreements, sale WA No. 1214 of 2025 AND Connected Matters 283 transactions and capitalisation of project assets. The material produced before this Court lends support to the conclusion that the order passed by the learned Single Judge does not call for interference. We are, therefore, of the considered view that the appellant-NICE has failed to establish any ground warranting interference in exercise of the appellate jurisdiction. Accordingly, we answer point No.2 against the appellants. 76. Re. Point No.3: The principal submission advanced on behalf of the appellant-NICE is that the writ petitions were liable to be rejected at the threshold since the acquisition proceedings forming part of the BMICP have already been upheld in the earlier rounds of litigation culminating in the judgments of the Supreme Court. It is submitted that the legality of the FWA, the public purpose underlying the acquisition, the notifications issued under the KIAD Act and the competence of the State Government to undertake acquisition for implementation of the BMICP have all attained finality. Consequently, according to the appellant, the landowners cannot be permitted to reagitate these issues which stand concluded by competent Court. 77. There is no dispute with the legal proposition that the doctrine of res judicata is founded upon considerations of public WA No. 1214 of 2025 AND Connected Matters 284 policy. A litigation must attain finality and parties cannot be permitted to repeatedly re-open the issues which have already been conclusively adjudicated by the Courts of competent jurisdiction. The judgments of the Supreme Court rendered in earlier rounds of litigation bind all the Courts. 78. However, the applicability of the doctrine depends not merely upon the identity of parties but, more importantly on the identity of the issue which is directly and substantially in dispute. This principle does not prohibit every subsequent proceedings arising out of the same transaction. It bars only those proceedings in which the very issue already adjudicated is sought to be re-opened. Where the subsequent events give rise to an independent and distinct cause of action, the doctrine has no application. 79. In ALL INDIA MANUFACTURERS ORGANISATION (supra), the Supreme Court has examined the legality of the FWA, the public purpose underlying the BMICP, the authority of the State Government to undertake acquisition under the KIAD Act and the overall validity of the project. Thereafter, in M.NAGABHUSHANA (supra), the Supreme Court once again considered the challenges to the very same acquisition proceedings and upheld the legality of the acquisition. Thus, WA No. 1214 of 2025 AND Connected Matters 285 the legal position that the acquisition notifications were validly issued and that the project subserved a public purpose undoubtedly has attained finality. 80. The present proceedings, however, do not seek reconsideration of any of those issues. The landowners have not challenged the competence of the State Government to acquire the land for industrial purposes nor have they sought a declaration that the preliminary or final notifications were void on the grounds urged in the earlier litigations. The grievance of the landowners is that although the acquisition proceedings commenced between 1998 and 2009, despite lapse of two decades, the acquiring authorities have failed to perform the statutory obligation of determining the compensation by passing the award. This prolonged inaction gave rise to a fresh and independent cause of action, distinct from the legality of the acquisition itself. 81. The validity of an acquisition is one issue. The legality of continuing acquisition proceedings indefinitely without determining the compensation is an altogether different issue. Similarly, the compulsory acquisition originally undertaken for a public purpose is one question, and whether, after acquisition, the project has been implemented consistently with that public WA No. 1214 of 2025 AND Connected Matters 286 purpose over the succeeding years is altogether another question. 82. These questions could not have been possibly adjudicated in the earlier rounds of litigation because the factual foundation itself had not arisen then. 83. The Supreme Court, in the case of ANIL KUMAR GUPTA (supra), while dealing with successive causes of action arising from the acquisition proceedings, has recognized that different stages of acquisition may furnish separate and distinct causes of action. A challenge founded upon subsequent statutory defaults cannot be rejected merely because an earlier challenge to the acquisition notifications had failed. The learned Single Judge has rightly relied upon the said principle while holding that the present proceedings arise from the admitted failure to pass awards over an extraordinarily long period and not from the original acquisition notifications. 84. If every subsequent challenge was to be treated as barred merely because the acquisition notifications had once been upheld, the acquiring authority would be rendered immune from judicial scrutiny irrespective of its conduct. If the awards were not passed for several decades, compensation WA No. 1214 of 2025 AND Connected Matters 287 remained unpaid indefinitely or statutory obligations were persistently ignored, the landowners would be left remediless solely because the original acquisition had survived judicial review. Such a proposition cannot be accepted. The doctrine of finality cannot be expanded to protect the subsequent administrative inaction of statutory and constitutional frauds. It protects judicial determinations and it does not immunise future statutory defaults and criminal and civil liability. 85. The appellant-NICE has contended that permitting repeated litigations would seriously impede the implementation of public infrastructure projects. We are unable to accept this submission in the facts of the present case. The delay complained of by the landowners is not of few months or few years. Such prolonged failure to complete the statutory obligations cannot be characterised as an inevitable consequence of litigations alone. Once the legality of the acquisition stood affirmed by the Supreme Court way back in 2006 and 2011, it became incumbent upon the authorities to proceed with reasonable expedition in determining the compensation. Their subsequent omission cannot now be shielded behind the doctrine of finality. WA No. 1214 of 2025 AND Connected Matters 288 86. Besides the afore, the sale deeds, Joint Development Agreements, annual reports, financial reports are all pertaining to the events occurring after execution of the FWA and, in several instances, years after the earlier litigation had concluded. These materials were neither available for consideration nor adjudicated upon in the earlier rounds of litigation. Their relevance, therefore, cannot be excluded merely by invoking the doctrine of res judicata. 87. We are, therefore, of the view that the present case do not seek to re-open the findings recorded by the Supreme Court regarding the validity of the BMICP, the acquisition notifications or the land acquisition. They are founded upon a subsequent and continuing failure of the acquiring authorities to discharge their statutory obligations concerning the implementation of the project. These constitute independent causes of action which were neither directly nor substantially in issue in the earlier rounds of proceedings, and protected under Article 300A of Constitution. We answer this point too against the appellants. XI CONCLUSION: 88. The facts as disclosed would clearly suggest that there is nothing nice about the NICE project except that the farmers WA No. 1214 of 2025 AND Connected Matters 289 have been robbed of their lands and livelihood of generations without payment of compensation as mandated under Article 300A of the Constitution of India. We have been informed that out of 111 kms Expressway, the NICE has constructed only 5 kilometres Expressway in the last 25-26 years as per the affidavit dated 28.07.2026 filed by Mr. Anjum Parwez, Additional Chief Secretary, PWD. The NICE is sitting over huge land bank of more than 20,000 acres, and the land and the assets have been alienated and capitalized to its benefit as stated above against the Supreme Court judgment in BANGALORE MYSORE INFRASTRUCTURE CORRIDOR AREA PLANNING AUTHORITY (supra) and in violation of the terms of FWA. The State cannot be a party in concentrating wealth in a private person, by exercising eminent domain at the cost of the innocent citizens/farmers, as the same goes against the Rule of law. This Court exercising its extra-ordinary Jurisdiction cannot become a silent spectator, and allow any illegality to perpetuate only on the ground that the earlier challenges attained finality, when different circumstances were placed. 89. By constructing the peripheral roads, putting up toll plazas and collecting huge tolls, increasing the toll without prior WA No. 1214 of 2025 AND Connected Matters 290 approval of the State in violation of the Framework Agreement etc., the NICE is earning huge profits without fulfilling the obligations under the FWA. The State itself has pointed out several violations committed by the NICE in its operations. 90. The lakes, water bodies, waterbed liners have been transferred to the NICE damaging the environment, ecology and in detriment to the water supply chain of Bengaluru particularly, and the neighbouring areas. 91. It appears that this BMICP may be one of the biggest scam in the State of Karnataka and it demonstrates how a State, which is the trustee of the natural resources on behalf of the citizens, can allow the private interest to flourish in utter violation of the constitutional mandate and the law to the detriment of environment, ecology and against the public interest for questionable considerations. One of the contentions urged by the appellant-NICE is that the Government has not given/acquired the extent of land as required under the FWA and therefore, the Government has been in violation of the FWA which has resulted in non-completion of the project in 25 years. However, the said contention of the appellant - NICE is not only false, but incorrect WA No. 1214 of 2025 AND Connected Matters 291 which is evident from the affidavit filed on behalf of the State in Contempt Petition (Civil) No.139/2012 that 554 acres of excess land had been handed over to the appellant-NICE for the said project. 92. We fail to understand why the State is not reviewing the project or cancelling the same as the NICE has utterly failed in its objective i.e., developing 5 Townships and Expressway of approximately 111 kms., between the two major cities of Karnataka i.e., Bengaluru and Mysuru to decongest the city of Bengaluru and provide and create opportunities for employment and growth alongside the Expressway. 93. The NICE project has done nothing but to benefit its proponents in an astronomical way at the expense of the landowners and the public interest in general. This is a fit case where an independent assessment and investigation be carried out by the special team of experts by conducting forensic audit of its accounts and for committing fraud and other criminal acts of commissions and omissions. However, we have doubt that such an exercise will ever be taken up as the State itself is accomplice in allowing the project proponents to earn huge profits illegally by diverting the lands against the FWA, capitalizing the assets, drying up the lakes, collecting huge toll WA No. 1214 of 2025 AND Connected Matters 292 in violation of the FWA and sitting over the huge land bank without payment of compensation etc. We, therefore, dismiss these appeals filed by both the NICE and the KIADB and affirm the judgment and order dated 04.07.2025 passed by the learned Single Judge. In view of dismissal of the appeals, pending IAs, if any, do not survive for consideration and accordingly, they stand disposed of. Sd/- (D K SINGH) JUDGE Sd/- (T.M.NADAF) JUDGE BKV CT:SN
