ADVOCATE FOR R16) THIS WRIT APPEAL IS FILED UNDER SECTION 4 OF KARNATAKA HIGH COURT ACT, 1961, PRAYING TO, SET ASIDE THE ORDER DATED 22.11.2022 PASSED BY THE SINGLE JUDGE IN W.P. NO.110952/2019 IN THE INTEREST OF JUSTICE AND EQUITY. THIS WRIT APPEAL, COMING ON FOR PRELIMINARY HEARING, THIS DAY, JUDGMENT WAS DELIVERED THEREIN AS UNDER: CORAM: THE HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE S G PANDIT AND THE HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE C.M. POONACHA - 6 - NC: 2025:KHC-D:5327-DB WA No. 100017 of 2025 ORAL JUDGMENT (PER: THE HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE C.M. POONACHA) Learned counsel Sri. Chetan Munnoli, who was directed to be notified for respondents No.1 to 14, who are writ petitioners before the learned Single Judge, submits that he does not have instructions from the said respondents. In view of the nature of disposal that is proposed to be made, notice is not being issued to respondents No.1 to 14. 2. The present intra-Court appeal is filed by the respondents, calling in question the order dated 22.11.2022 passed in W.P No.110952/2019. 3. The sole contention urged by the learned counsel for the appellant is that, before the reference Court, the rights of the parties are required to be adjudicated with regard to title and possession of the acquired land and the observations made by learned Single Judge would have bearing on the question that would be adjudicated before the reference Court. 4. In view of the aforementioned, it is appropriate to dispose of the writ appeal by observing that the reference Court - 7 - NC: 2025:KHC-D:5327-DB WA No. 100017 of 2025 shall consider the case of rival parties uninfluenced by any of the observations made by learned Single Judge in the order dated 22.11.2022 passed in W.P No.110952/2019. 5. All contentions of both the parties are left open. 6. In view of disposal of writ appeal, pending I.A’s, if any, does not survive for consideration and are accordingly disposed of.
