JUSTICE K.MANMADHA RAO ORAL JUDGMENT (PER: HON'BLE MRS. JUSTICE ANU SIVARAMAN) Respondent No.1 has placed on record a memo requesting for permission to receive the package compensation under Section 29(2) of the Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Act, 1966 (for short 'KIAD Act'). 2. Learned counsel for the appellants submits that respondents No.1 and 2 have already received the package compensation under Section 29(2) of the KIAD Act and that the directions issued by learned Single Judge would not survive for further consideration. 3. Having considered the contentions advanced and in view of the fact that there is no objection raised by respondents No.1 and 2 to the contention of learned counsel for appellants and the fact that respondents No.1 and 2 have already accepted the package compensation under Section 29(2) of the KIAD Act, we are of the opinion that nothing survives in this - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:26178-DB WA No. 609 of 2024 appeal for further consideration. The appeal is therefore ordered recording the submission of the appellant that package compensation is already received by respondents No.1 and 2 under Section 29(2) of the KIAD Act and that the further direction issued by learned Single Judge therefore would not bind the parties any more. 4. In view of the aforesaid, appeal is disposed of setting aside the directions issued in the writ petition and recording that package compensation has been paid to respondents No.1 and 2.
