Bangalore Development Authority reported in ILR 2005 KAR 608 had earlier approached this Court in W.P.No.43479/2015, which by Order dated 25.07.2019, was disposed of directing the respondent-BDA to process the claim of the petitioner on the - 3 - NC: 2025:KHC:8703 WP No. 41600 of 2019 principles of parity with liberty to the petitioner to file an application within ninety days from the date of the said order.

There is considerable force in the submission made by the petitioner inasmuch as this Court had reserved liberty to the petitioner to file application within ninety days from the date of the said order as noted above, the respondent-BDA was - 4 - NC: 2025:KHC:8703 WP No. 41600 of 2019 directed to consider the case of the petitioner on principles of parity. However, the respondent-BDA in the impugned endorsement has raised objections with regard to petitioner not having obtained the registration card and accordingly has rejected the application. The aforesaid order therefore runs contrary to the direction passed by the Co-ordinate Bench of this Court. 5. At this juncture, counsel for the respondent -BDA submit given some time, case of the petitioner would be reconsidered in light of the order dated 27.05.2019 passed by the Co-ordinate Bench of this Court in the writ petition in W.PNo.43479/2015. 6. Submission is taken on record. 7. Hence, following; ORDER 1. Petition is allowed. 2. The impugned endorsement dated 06.08.2019, as per Annexure-A is hereby quashed.
