It is submitted that the petitioner has not challenged the same in the manner known to law and hence, the prayer for issuance of a writ of mandamus directing the BBMP to consider his request once again does not arise. 3.

Under the circumstances, the petitioner is required to challenge the same in the manner known to law, which he has not done. Unless, the said order is set aside, the question of mandamus directing the BBMP to consider the request of the petitioner does not arise. Hence, the following:- - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:36840 WP No. 25720 of 2023 ORDER The writ petition is dismissed, reserving liberty to the petitioner to challenge the order passed by respondent No.1 (vide Annexure-'E') in the manner known to law.
