THE ASST. EXECUTIVE ENGINEER, HBR SUB-DIVISION, BBMP, BEARING NO. AEE/HBR/W-NO.76/P.O/12/24-25, ON 29/07/2024, WHICH IS PRODUCED AT ANNEXURE-G, ETC.

CORAM: HON'BLE MR JUSTICE N S SANJAY GOWDA
ORAL ORDER
1. The petitioner is challenging the notice issued under Section 248(2) of the BBMP Act, 2020.
2. A perusal of Annexure – F the provisional order, passed under Section 248(1) of the BBMP Act indicates that the BBMP is of the view that the construction put up by the petitioner is illegal and, therefore, it has passed the provisional order. The provisional order is furnished to the petitioner as required under Section 248(2) and the petitioner is

directed to furnish his objections, if any, within seven days.
3. In my view, in the light of the fact that the petitioner is only been called upon to file his objections to the provisional order passed against him, he cannot approach this Court contending that the consequential notice is illegal.
4. The petitioner would have to necessarily file his objections raising all such contentions which are available to him in law and the BBMP will have to consider the same and then pass appropriate orders.
5. Subject to the above, this writ petition is dismissed.
6. The petitioner is granted seven days time from today to file his objections to the impugned notice.
