FOR RESPONDENT NO.30; NOTICE TO RESP. NO.1 TO 29 IS DISPENSED WITH) THIS WRIT PETITION IS FILED UNDER ARTICLES 226 AND 227 OF THE CONSTITUTION OF INDIA, PRAYING TO ISSUE A WRIT IN THE NATURE OF CERTIORARI OR ANY OTHER APPROPRIATE WRIT QUASHING THE IMPUGNED ORDER DATED 13/07/2018 PASSED BY THE LEARNED PRINCIPAL SENIOR CIVIL JUDGE HUBBALLI ON I.A NO.I IN MISC.NO.35/2011 AT VIDE ANNEXURE-A AND CONSEQUENTLY BY MODIFYING THE ORDER BY DIRECTING TO RELEASE ENTIRE COMPENSATION AMOUNT TO THE PETITIONERS DEPOSITED IN MISC. NO. 35/2011 TO THE PETITIONERS, IN THE INTEREST OF JUSTICE AND EQUITY AND ISSUE A WRIT IN THE NATURE OF MANDAMUS DIRECTING THE RESPONDENT NO.30 TO DEPOSIT THE COMPENSATION AMOUNT AS PER THE UNDERTAKING BEFORE THIS HON’BLE COURT IN W.P.NO.60485/2011 AT VIDE ANNEXURE-K, IN THE INTEREST OF JUSTICE AND EQUITY. THESE PETITIONS, COMING ON FOR FINAL HEARING, THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER: - 12 - NC: 2025:KHC-D:6063 WP No. 106774 of 2018 C/W WP No. 107418 of 2023 ORDER (PER: THE HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SACHIN SHANKAR MAGADUM) These two petitions are filed assailing the order passed by the reference Court in Misc.No.35/2011. The connected WP.No.107418/2023 is filed by the Decree Holders in RSA.No.1317/1995. The petitioners in WP.No.107418/2023 contend that though Court at the first instance initially declined to grant share in the lands acquired, this Court in RSA.No.1317/1995, vide its Judgment and Decree dated 13.08.1998 has allowed the appeal and modified the preliminary decree granting 1/4th share in the compensation amount also. It is pursuant to the Decree passed by this Court, it appears that a co-ordinate bench of this Court in Writ Petition No.60485/2011(LA-KIADB) directed the Special Land Acquisition Officer attached to the Karnataka Industrial Area Development Board to make a reference and the Land Acquisition Officer accordingly submitted to this Court that a reference would be made to Civil Court under Section 30 of the Land Acquisition Act for determination of the title to the property and Land Acquisition Officer further undertook to - 13 - NC: 2025:KHC-D:6063 WP No. 106774 of 2018 C/W WP No. 107418 of 2023 deposit the compensation amount before the Civil Court within a month. 2. Upon hearing the learned counsel for the parties in both writ petitions, it appears that there is a degree of ambiguity surrounding the entitlement of the petitioners in W.P.No.107418/2023 to the compensation amount in question. The principal grievance raised by the petitioners in W.P.No.107418/2023 is that, although respondent No.30 has admittedly deposited one-fourth share of the total compensation amount, the Court below has directed the release of only one-fourth of the deposited amount, effectively amounting to a sum of ₹11,45,625/-. The petitioners contend that this order does not reflect the actual entitlement based on the compensation deposited by the acquiring authority. 3. In support of their claim, the petitioners have relied upon correspondence issued by the Special Land Acquisition Officer addressed to the Civil Court, a copy of which is placed on record as Annexure-L in W.P.No.107418/2023. This - 14 - NC: 2025:KHC-D:6063 WP No. 106774 of 2018 C/W WP No. 107418 of 2023 correspondence clearly indicates that one-fourth of the compensation, computed at ₹45,82,500/-, has already been deposited with the Civil Court. In light of this, the petitioners assert that the entire amount of ₹45,82,500/-, representing their one-fourth share of the total compensation, ought to have been released in their favour. They argue that the order of the Court below releasing only ₹11,45,625/ is erroneous and contrary to the record. 4. Turning to W.P. No.106774/2018, the petitioner therein has approached this Court primarily on the ground that although an application was filed in Misc. No.35/2011 seeking appropriate reliefs, the said application remains pending without adjudication by the Trial Court. The petitioner, who claims to have purchased the land prior to its acquisition, contends that he has stepped into the shoes of the original landowners and, by virtue of the Sale Deed executed in his favour, he too is entitled to receive compensation for the acquired land. - 15 - NC: 2025:KHC-D:6063 WP No. 106774 of 2018 C/W WP No. 107418 of 2023 5. Before proceeding further to pass any final orders in these writ petitions, this Court considers it appropriate to take note of the correspondence issued by respondent No.30, which forms a critical piece of evidence in W.P. No.107418/2023. Said correspondence, marked as Annexure-L, reads as under: “PÀ£ÁðlPÀ ¸ÀgÀPÁgÀ PÀæ.PÉLJr©/¨sÀƸÁé/zsÁ/1/2010-11 «±ÉõÀ ¨sÀƸÁé¢üãÀ C¢üÃPÁjUÀ¼À PÀZÉÃj, PÀ£ÁðlPÀ PÉÊUÁjPÁ ¥ÀæzÉñÁ©üªÀÈ¢Þ ªÀÄAqÀ½, zsÁgÀªÁqÀ ¢£ÁAPÀ 28-04-2011, ¥sÉÆ.£ÀA.0836-2462953 ªÀiÁ£Àå ¦æ¤ì¥À¯ï ¹«¯ï dqÀÓ (».±ÉæÃ) ºÀħâ½î EªÀjUÉ ªÀiÁ£ÀågÉÃ, «µÀAiÀÄ:- zsÁgÀªÁqÀ f¯Éè ºÀħâ½î vÁ®ÆPÀ GtPÀ®è UÁæªÀÄzÀ j.¸À.£ÀA.646/2+3 £ÉÃzÀÝgÀ 1/4 »¸ÁìzÀ ¥ÀjºÁgÀzsÀªÀ£ÀÄß vÀPÀgÁgÀÄ EgÀĪÀzÀjAzÀ ªÀiÁ£Àå £ÁåAiÀiÁ®AiÀÄzÀ°è oÉêÀt ªÀiÁqÀĪÀ PÀÄjvÀÄ.

It is evident that if only one-fourth of the compensation amount has been deposited, then the impugned order directing the release of one-fourth of that deposited amount is in clear contravention of the preliminary decree drawn by this Court. Consequently, the impugned order cannot be sustained in law and is liable to be set aside. - 17 - NC: 2025:KHC-D:6063 WP No. 106774 of 2018 C/W WP No. 107418 of 2023 7. The Trial Court is directed to examine the judgment rendered by this Court in RSA.No.1317/1995 and in light of the said judgment, re-evaluate the matter to determine whether the petitioner in W.P.No.107418/2023 is entitled to seek withdrawal of the entire amount deposited by respondent No.30. Such reconsideration must be in conformity with the findings and directions issued in the said RSA and in accordance with the preliminary decree. 8. For the foregoing reasons, this Court passes the following: ORDER (i) Both the petitions are allowed in part. (ii) Matter stands remitted back to the Trial Court. The Trial Court shall forthwith release the compensation amount of Rs.11,45,625/- with accrued interest, if any, to the petitioner/s in W.P.No.107418/2023. (iii) Insofar as the balance amount is concerned, the same shall be examined and an enquiry shall be conducted by the Trial Court to ascertain whether the petitioners in - 18 - NC: 2025:KHC-D:6063 WP No. 106774 of 2018 C/W WP No. 107418 of 2023 W.P.No.107418/2023 are entitled for balance compensation which is already deposited by respondent No.30. (iv) The claim of petitioner in W.P.No.106774/2018 shall be independently enquired and an appropriate order shall be passed strictly adhering to the mandate provided under Section 30 of the Land Acquisition Act. (v) Since the parties have represented by their respective counsels without expecting any notice shall appear before the Trial Court on 05.06.2025. (vi) The Trial Court on the first date of hearing shall ensure the presence of all the interested parties and shall conduct enquiry and expedite and decide the claim of both the petitioners with an outer limit of eight months from the date of first hearing.
