DEPUTY COMMISSIONER XHCM+PXC, KG ROAD, NEAR DISTRICT REGISTRAR OFFICE AMBEDKAR VEEDHI, SAMPANGI RAMA NAGARA, BENGALURU, KARNATAKA 560009 …RESPONDENTS (BY SRI. SIDRATH BABURAO, AGA) THIS WP IS FILED UNDER ARTICLE 226 OF THE CONSTITUTION OF INDIA PRAYING TO DIRECTING THE 2ND RESPONDENT TO CONSIDER THE PETITIONERS REPRESENTATIONS DATED 26.10.2025, 27.10.2025, 28.10.2025 AND 29.10.2025 PRODUCED VIDE ANNEXURES E1 TO E16., AND ETC. THIS PETITION, COMING ON FOR PRELIMINARY HEARING, THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER: CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SURAJ GOVINDARAJ ORAL ORDER 1. Learned Additional Government Advocate accepts notice for the respondents. 2. Petitioners are before this Court seeking for the following reliefs: "a. Issue a writ of Mandamus directing the 2nd Respondent to consider the Petitioner's representations dated 26.10.2025, 27.10.2025, 28.10.2025 and 29.10.2025 produced vide Annexures 'E1 to E16' and consequently b. Issue the necessary documents in respect of the Petitioner's allotment of vacant 20x30 - 6 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:53782 WP No. 38098 of 2025 sites situated in Sy no.39, Ramasandra, Bengaluru under the Ashraya Scheme as sought for. c. Grant such other and further relief/s as this Hon'ble Court deems fit in the interest of justice and equity." 3. The grievance of the petitioners is that though certain plots have been allotted to the petitioners, the Hakku Pathra has not been issued to the petitioners nor has the Katha been issued in respect of the said properties. The allotment having been made in the year 1991, the petitioners have submitted various representations on 26.10.2025, 27.10.2025, 28.10.2025, 29.10.2025 of Annexures-E series, which have not been considered. In that background, the petitioners are before this Court seeking for the aforesaid reliefs. 4. Whenever any representation is submitted by a citizen to an authority, it is required for the said authority to consider the said representation and pass necessary orders, either accepting or rejecting the representation. Needless to say, if an order of rejection has passed, just to be followed with reasons. Neither having been done, I pass the following: - 7 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:53782 WP No. 38098 of 2025 ORDER (i) Writ petition stands disposed. (ii) Respondents are directed to consider the representation of the petitioners dated 26.10.2025, 27.10.2025, 28.10.2025, 29.10.2025 of Annexures - E series, within a period of 60 days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. (iii) It is made clear that this Court has not expressed any opinion on the entitlement of the petitioners. SD/- (SURAJ GOVINDARAJ) JUDGE JY List No.: 1 Sl No.: 23
