The complainants alleged that the accused has not complied with the said order inasmuch as the accused has not taken any steps for recovering the amounts as directed from the Shaswati Reality Limited as arrears of land revenue. 4. The learned Additional Government Advocate appearing for the accused has handed over a memo indicating that the steps for recovery have already been initiated and as a first step, a confiscation order dated 16.08.2025 is passed against the defaulter (Shaswati Reality Private Limited) with respect to its property described as Pashmina Propots, Khata Nos. 48, 49, 50 and 51 (old SY No.22/23, Object 1 and 24), Kamasandra Village, Vizralipati East Taluk. Bengaluru. The said confiscation order also indicates that the process for selling the attached property for recovering the outstanding amount would be taken in accordance with law. 5. In the aforesaid circumstances, since respondent No.2 has already initiated steps for recovery of the amounts due in compliance with the order, the present complaint is closed. - 7 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:42340-DB CCC No. 519 of 2025 C/W CCC No. 520 of 2025 CCC No. 526 of 2025 6.
