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 E17', and consequently b. Issue the necessary documents in respect of the Petitioner's allotment of vacant 20X30 sites situated in - 6 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:54428 WP No. 38336 of 2025 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 by accepting or rejecting the representation. 5. Needless to say, if an order of rejection is passed, the same will have to be accompanied by reasons. Neither having been done, I pass the following: - 7 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:54428 WP No. 38336 of 2025 ORDER (i) 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.
