(b) Issue a writ of mandamus, directing the respondents No. 2 consider the representation of the Petitioner dated: 03.08.2024, vide Annexure- 'G' and direct the respondent No. 2 and 3 allot allot Plot measuring 1 acre of Industrial Land in Obalapura 6th Phase, Dabaspet/Sompura Industrial Area Nelamangala Taluk, Bengaluru Rural District. (c) Issue a writ of mandamus directing the respondents to extend the 3 years of period to allow the Petitioner in obtaining all the other clearances pursuant to project approval dated - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:42709 WP No. 18105 of 2025 09.02.2024 bearing No.Jikai kel Bem Graa/DLSWCC/03/2023-24, issued by 5th respondent in favour of the petitioner vide Annexure 'D' in the interest of justice. (d) Issue such other order writ or direction as deemed fit and proper under the facts and circumstances of the case, in the interest of equity and justice." 4. The grievance of the petitioner is that despite respondent No.5-Single Window Agency having cleared the project of the petitioner on 09.02.2024 in terms of Annexure-D, respondent Nos.2 and 3 have not allotted the plot to the petitioner and the representation submitted by the petitioner on 03.08.2024 at Annexure-G has not been considered. 5. Whenever any application for allotment is made by a citizen with the KIADB, it is required for the KIADB to consider the same and pass necessary orders either allotting or rejecting the application within a reasonable period of time. Needless to say if an order of rejection of allotment is made, it should be accompanied by reasons. Neither having been done, I pass the following: ORDER - 5 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:42709 WP No. 18105 of 2025 (i) Writ Petition is allowed; (ii) A mandamus is issued directing respondent No.2 to consider the representation of the petitioner dated 03.08.2024 at Annexure-G within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
