SURAJ.S., ADVOCATE FOR R16, R18, R19, R20, R22-R55, R57, R59-R61, R63-R75, R77-R80 (NOTICE NOT ORDERED) THIS WRIT APPEAL IS FILED U/S 4 OF THE KARNATAKA HIGH COURT ACT, PRAYING TO SET ASIDE THE ORDER PASSED BY THE LEARNED SINGLE JUDGE IN WP NO.13104/2025 DATED 05/01/2026 AND CONSEQUENTLY ALLOW THE PETITION, ETC. THIS APPEAL, COMING ON FOR PRELIMINARY HEARING, THIS DAY, JUDGMENT WAS DELIVERED THEREIN AS UNDER: CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE D K SINGH and HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE S RACHAIAH - 20 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:7578-DB WA No. 224 of 2026 ORAL JUDGMENT (PER: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE D K SINGH) The present intra Court appeal has been filed impugning the judgment and order dated 05.01.2026 passed by the learned Single Judge in W.P.Nos.13104/2025 (LB-RES) filed by the appellant herein. 2. The parties are referred to as per their ranking before the writ Court, for the sake of convenience. 3. The petitioner, who does not have right, title and interest in respect of the lands in question, filed the writ petition with the following prayers :- "(i) issue a writ in the nature of Mandamus against the respondent No.88 to take immediate action as per the endorsement dated 24.04.2025 to stop the execution of the absolute sale deeds by Respondent No.2 and 3 from execution of the absolute sale deeds and consequently demolist the illegal constructions put up on the land measuring 2 Acres 28 Guntas of land in Sy.No.31/1 and 1 Acre 36 - 21 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:7578-DB WA No. 224 of 2026 Guntas of land in sy.No.32/1 situated at Mittaganahalli Village, Bidarahalli Hobli, Bengaluru Taluk and District, vide Annexure-H." 4. The learned Single Judge having noticed the suit filed by the petitioner in O.S.No.1099/2024 before the Principal City Civil and Sessions Judge seeking relief of mandatory injunction and having failed to get an injunction, even a temporary injunction from the Trial Court, where the suit is pending, filed the writ petition. 5. The learned Single Judge found the writ petition nothing but gross abuse of the process of the Court and dismissed the writ petition with cost of Rs.5,00,000/- (Rupees Five Lakhs only). Paragraph Nos.6 to 9 of the impugned judgment reads as under:- "6. Having gone through the papers, I am of the considered opinion that this is a classic case of abuse of process of Court seeking to overreach and make use of the process of Court to obtain reliefs which the Petitioner cannot either seek for or be granted, in effect, the Petitioner only intends for the respondents to stop execution of the sale deeds and to demolish - 22 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:7578-DB WA No. 224 of 2026 the alleged illegal constructions put up in the aforesaid land. The Petitioner is neither an owner of the land nor a purchaser of the land. Except to claim that the Petitioner is a prospective purchaser who had approached the respondents seeking for documents, the Petitioner has no private lis which can be considered in the present matter. 7. The manner in which the Petitioner had filed the suit, as also the present writ petition, clearly and categorically establishes that the Petitioner is a busybody who is seeking to make use of the process of Court to cause harm, loss, and injury not only to the owner of the land and the developer of the land, but also to various other persons, who have purchased sites and put up constructions, who have been arrayed as Respondent Nos. 15 to 87 in the present matter. 8. The manner in which the Petitioner has gone ahead with the litigation leaves me no other option but to impose exemplary and punitive costs so as to deter the Petitioner from making any such future adventure by abusing the process of Court. 9. In that view of the matter, I pass the following: - 23 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:7578-DB WA No. 224 of 2026 ORDER i) The writ petition is dismissed by imposing a cost of Rs.5,00,000/- payable to the Karnataka State Legal Services Authority, which shall be paid within a period of four weeks from today. ii) If the same is not paid by 31.01.2026, the Member Secretary, KSLSA would be entitled to initiate such proceedings as may be required to recover the said costs as arrears of land revenue from the Petitioner. " 6. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner has made submission only in respect of the quantum of the cost not on the merits of the case. We respectfully agree with the observation of the learned Single Judge extracted above that the writ petition was nothing but gross abuse of the process of the Court. 7. However, considering the submission of learned counsel for the appellant , this writ appeal is disposed off. The cost is reduced from Rs.5,00,000/- to Rs.1,00,000/-. Cost of Rs.1,00,000/- to be deposited to the Karnataka - 24 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:7578-DB WA No. 224 of 2026 State Legal Services Authority, within a period of four weeks as directed by the learned Single Judge. 8. In view of disposal of the writ appeal, pending interim applications, if any, stand disposed off. Sd/- (D K SINGH) JUDGE Sd/- (S RACHAIAH) JUDGE NG List No.: 1 Sl No.: 6
