The prayer in this writ petition is for a direction to respondent Nos.3 and 4 to consider Form Nos.50 and 53 submitted by the petitioners in respect of Sy.Nos.21 and 22 of Doddamaranahalli village, Taverekere Hobli, Bengaluru South Taluk, and grant them the said lands by issuing Saguvali Chit and Grant Certificate. 2. It is the case of the petitioners that they are in possession and they had filed applications for regularization but despite the applications being filed, their claims were not considered. 3. It is also sought to contend that notices were issued to the residents asking them to hand-over the possession and this by itself proves the possession of the petitioners. - 7 - NC: 2025:KHC:12183 WP No. 23503 of 2023 4. In light of the above, in my view, it would be appropriate to direct respondent Nos.3 and 4 to consider the applications of the petitioners for regularization and take appropriate action on the said applications. 5. The authorities are directed to consider the claim of the petitioners vis-à-vis the distance between the municipal corporation by taking into consideration the distance as on the date of the applications. 6. The said exercise shall be undertaken and completed within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 7. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of.
