JUSTICE M.I.ARUN ORAL ORDER The petitioner has challenged the proceedings initiated by respondent Nos.1 and 2 at the behest of respondent No.3 against the illegal construction alleged to have been put up by the petitioner. In the course of the arguments, the petitioner has candidly admitted that illegal construction had indeed been put up on the property constructed. However, he submits that even respondent No.3 is also guilty of putting up illegal construction and respondent Nos.1 and 2 have not initiated any proceedings against respondent No.3 and Authorities have been partial in initiating the proceedings only against the petitioner herein. - 3 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:36960 WP No. 27523 of 2025 2. I do not see any error in the proceedings initiated by respondent Nos.1 and 2 against the petitioner or the order passed by the Karnataka Administrative Tribunal in Appeal No.755/2016. 3. For the aforementioned reasons, the Writ Petition is hereby dismissed. 4. However, it is needless to state that, if respondent No.3 has also put up illegal construction, respondent Nos.1 and 2 are bound to proceed against respondent No.3 in the manner known to law. The petitioner is also given the liberty to pursue the case against respondent No.3 in accordance with law. SD/- (M.I.ARUN) JUDGE CH List No.: 1 Sl No.: 11
