THIS PETITION, COMING ON FOR PRELIMINARY HEARING, THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER: CORAM: HON'BLE MR JUSTICE N S SANJAY GOWDA ORAL ORDER 1. This petition is filed seeking for a direction to issue a mandamus to the respondents to consider the representation of the petitioner for allotment of an alternative site as per Annexures – G, H and J. 2. It is forthcoming from the aforementioned annexure that though a lease cum sale agreement has been executed in favour of the petitioner, there is a rival claim being made by the land owner and the learned counsel submits that the land owner appears to have secured a decree against the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (‘MUDA’) and MUDA has also preferred an appeal to this Court. He submits that, since there is a litigation pending in respect of the site allotted to the petitioner, it would be obvious - 3 - NC: 2025:KHC:2077 WP No. 22169 of 2024 that the MUDA would have to allot an alternative site. 3. In my view, in the light of the submissions made above, it would be appropriate to direct MUDA to consider the representation submitted by the petitioner vide Annexures – G, H and J and pass appropriate orders regarding request for allotment of an alternative site within a period of two months from the date of receipt of the copy of this order. 4. This petition is accordingly disposed of. Sd/- (N S SANJAY GOWDA) JUDGE GSR List No.: 1 Sl No.: 5
