The petitioner is before this Court seeking the following reliefs: "a) Issue the writ by way of mandamus, to direct the Respondent No.1 to 3 herein in order to execute the Annexure-F issued by - 3 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:47638 WP No. 10337 of 2025 the Karnataka Real Estate Regulatory Authority, Bengaluru in letter No.RERA/Revenue/270/2023-2024 dated 18/07/2024 to Respondent No.1. b) For such other and further relief as deemed fit under the circumstance of the case." 2. The grievance of the petitioner is that the recovery certificate, which has been issued by the RERA under Section 40(1)(2) of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 ('the Act' for short) and Rule 25 of the Karnataka Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Rules, 2017 ('the K-RERA' for short) has not been enforced by respondent Nos. 1 to 3 and it is in that background the petitioner is before this Court seeking for the aforesaid reliefs. 3. Whenever any recovery certificate is issued by the RERA under Section 40 of the Act and Rule 25 of the K-RERA, it would not be required for respondent Nos.1 to 3 to take appropriate steps and recover the moneys mentioned in the recovery certificate as arrears of land. - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:47638 WP No. 10337 of 2025 4.

In that view of the matter, I pass the following: ORDER (i) Writ petition is allowed; (ii) A mandamus is issued directing respondent Nos.1 to 3 and the Special Deputy Commissioner now appointed to execute the recovery certificate at Annexure-F and recover the money within a period of 8 weeks from the date of the receipt of the copy of this order.
