THESE APPEALS, COMING ON FOR ORDERS, THIS DAY, JUDGMENT WAS DELIVERED THEREIN AS UNDER: - 32 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:39602-DB WA No. 530 of 2025 C/W WA No. 510 of 2025 WA No. 511 of 2025 AND 21 OTHERS CORAM: HON'BLE MR. VIBHU BAKHRU, CHIEF JUSTICE and HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE C.M. POONACHA ORAL JUDGMENT (PER: HON'BLE MR. VIBHU BAKHRU, CHIEF JUSTICE) 1. For the reasons stated in the applications seeking condonation of delay, the same are allowed. The delay in filing the appeals is condoned. 2. The appellant, the Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Board [hereafter KIADB], has filed the present appeals impugning an order dated 28.10.2024 passed by the learned Single Judge of this Court in a batch of writ petitions. 3. The writ petitioners had filed their respective petitions being aggrieved by non-implementations of the recommendations of the District Level Single Window Clearance Committee [DLSWCC]. 4. In terms of Section 11 of the Karnataka Industries (Facilitation Act) 2002 [the Act], the recommendations made by the DLSWCC is binding on KIADB. Thus, the KIADB was bound to allot - 33 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:39602-DB WA No. 530 of 2025 C/W WA No. 510 of 2025 WA No. 511 of 2025 AND 21 OTHERS industrial plots to all the applicants whose cases were recommended by the DLSWCC. 5. It is necessary to note that KIADB does not question its obligation to comply with the recommendations of the DLSWCC. However, it is KIADB’s contention that the DLSWCC's recommendations had exceeded the 15% quota of land allocation for micro, small and medium enterprises ( MSMEs) as stipulated under the Industrial Policy, 2020-25. In other words, it is the case of the KIADB that the orders passed by the DLSWCC recommending allotment of land to the writ petitioners is contrary to the industrial policy, insofar as it exceeds the limit of 15% of the land at KIADB’s disposal as provided under the Industrial Policy. 6. The learned Single Judge was not persuaded to accept that the allotments recommended by the DLSWCC had exceeded the limit for the reason that KIADB had not produced sufficient material to establish that the allotments had exceeded 15% of the quota specified under the Industrial Policy, 2020-25. Paragraph 13 of the impugned order is relevant and is set out below: "The Industrial Policy 2020-25 explicitly mandates that 15% of allottable land in - 34 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:39602-DB WA No. 530 of 2025 C/W WA No. 510 of 2025 WA No. 511 of 2025 AND 21 OTHERS industrial areas be reserved for MSMEs, and that allotments made by the DLSWCC should fall within this limit. However, the KIADB has not presented any evidence that it lacks sufficient industrial plots to satisfy the petitioners’ applications or that the allotments would exceed the 15% quota specified by the Industrial Policy 2020-25." 7. Additionally, the learned Single Judge found that the applicable regulations did not prescribe any method for allotment of land. The Court noted that in terms of Regulation 5 of the Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Board Regulations, 1969, KIADB has the discretion for disposal of land within each industrial area. However, the regulation was silent as to the method to be followed for such disposal. In this regard, the Court also observed that KIADB being a State Instrumentality is required to act transparently and fairly and in case there are no predetermined Rules for disposal of the land, the KIADB was expected to follow a transparent criterion. Additionally, the Court also observed that in absence of any Rule ideally, the KIADB should follow a first-come- first-served approach. 8. There is no cavil with the reasons on which the impugned order rests. First, there is no cavil that recommendations of - 35 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:39602-DB WA No. 530 of 2025 C/W WA No. 510 of 2025 WA No. 511 of 2025 AND 21 OTHERS DLSWCC is binding on the KIADB. Second, there is no dispute that the KIADB is required to dispose of the land fairly and in a transparent manner. Third, there is no material on record to indicate that the recommendations made by the DLSWCC had resulted in allocation of land exceeding 15% of the disposable land available with KIADB. 9. We note that this Court had in terms of the order dated 11.09.2025 specifically granted liberty to the KIADB to file all relevant documents including material if any, to establish that the recommendations made by the DLSWCC has exceeded 15% quota fixed for such allotments. However, no such material has been placed on record. There is no material to establish the manner in which the recommendations were made; the extent of disposable land; and the extent of allocation recommended for various MSMEs. There is no material to establish the extent by which the 15% quota has been exceeded if at all. 10. It is also not disputed that the DLSWCC also includes KIADB's nominee amongst other officials. Therefore, it was essential for the KIADB to address the issue of the allocation of land exceeding the quota internally. There is no material to indicate - 36 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:39602-DB WA No. 530 of 2025 C/W WA No. 510 of 2025 WA No. 511 of 2025 AND 21 OTHERS that the KIADB's nominee had objected to the recommendation of allotments made on the ground it exceeded the quota fixed under the Industrial policy. 11. In the event, the KIADB was aggrieved by any of the recommendations made by the DLSWCC, it is essential for the KIADB to challenge the same at an appropriate stage before an appropriate forum. However, it was not open for the KIADB to ignore DLSWCC’s recommendation in entirety. 12. At this stage, the learned counsel appearing for the KIADB submits that KIADB has reserved lands for allocation to the writ petitioners and it would suffice if it is clarified that the impugned order would not be treated as a precedent, which would preclude KIADB from availing its remedies, in cases where the DLSWCC's recommendations exceeded the quota fixed under the industrial policy. 13. In view of the above, we dispose of the present appeals with the clarification that the impugned order shall not be read as a precedent precluding KIADB to take recourse to remedies in the event the recommendations made by DLSWCC’s are contrary to - 37 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:39602-DB WA No. 530 of 2025 C/W WA No. 510 of 2025 WA No. 511 of 2025 AND 21 OTHERS norms or policies. In the event the KIADB is aggrieved by any of the allocations recommended by the DLSWCC, it would not be precluded from availing of its remedies in that regard. 14. Pending applications are also disposed of. Sd/- (VIBHU BAKHRU) CHIEF JUSTICE Sd/- (C.M. POONACHA) JUDGE KPS, List No.: 1 Sl No.: 24
