VIBHU BAKHRU, CHIEF JUSTICE) 1. The learned counsel appearing for the review petitioner submitted that the order dated 11.11.2024 passed in W.P.No.25078/2023 (GM-RES-PIL), is required to be reviewed, as there are observations of collusion made in the said order, which are without any basis. 2. He submits that there is no material on record to substantiate the said observations. He submits that the scheme was for grant of TDR which was the subject matter of challenge, had resulted in granting space and development rights in Bengaluru in respect of land surrendered elsewhere. He contended that as a result of such exercise, Bengaluru has become a concrete jungle and being aggrieved by the same that the review petitioner had filed the - 5 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:48225-DB RP No. 26 of 2025 above captioned writ petition as a public interest litigation. He submits that the writ petitioner did not have any personal interest in the subject matter and the petition is bona fide. 3. The review petitioner essentially seeks to agitate the case which stands closed by the order dated 11.11.2024. In our view the same is impermissible and beyond the scope of a review. There is no error apparent on the face of the order. 4. The petition is accordingly, dismissed. Sd/- (VIBHU BAKHRU) CHIEF JUSTICE Sd/- (K. V. ARAVIND) JUDGE KS List No.: 1 Sl No.: 2
