JUSTICE SACHIN SHANKAR MAGADUM ORAL ORDER The captioned writ petition is filed seeking for the following reliefs:- "i. Directing the 1st Respondent to implement the order of execution dated 20.06.2025 passed by the Karnataka Real Estate Regulatory Authority in Complaint - 3 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:14600 WP No. 7844 of 2026 No.CMP/210306/0007754, in a time bound manner (Annexure-A); ii.

Award cost of the Petition; iv. Grant such other and further reliefs as this Hon'ble Court deems fit and proper in the circumstances of the case in the interest of justice and equity." 2. The learned counsel for the petitioners reiterating the grounds has placed reliance on the order of the Co-ordinate Bench passed in W.P.No.10337/2025, which substantially addresses the core issue raised in the captioned writ petition. - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:14600 WP No. 7844 of 2026 3. Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned AGA. Perused the records. 4. The grievance of the petitioners 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 (for short ‘ the Act') and Rule 25 of the Karnataka Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Rules, 2017 ('the K-RERA' for short), has not been enforced by respondent No.1. It is in this backdrop, the petitioners are compelled to knock the doors of the Writ Court seeking aforesaid reliefs. 5. This Court in an identical case has consistently taken view that when a Recovery Certificate is issued by the RERA under Section 40 of 'the Act' and Rule 25 of 'the K-RERA', respondent No.1 is obligated to take further appropriate steps to recover the amounts mentioned in the Recovery Certificate as arrears of land revenue. - 5 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:14600 WP No. 7844 of 2026 6. Since it is not in dispute that Special Deputy Commissioner is now appointed to act on all the Recovery Certificates issued by the RERA, the petitioners by furnishing the Recovery Certificate has demonstrated their legal right to seek directions at the hands of this Court. Equally, respondent No.1, being a designated Authority, is obligated to enforce the Recovery Certificate obtained by the petitioners. Therefore, this Court proceeds to pass the following; ORDER (i) The writ petition is allowed. (ii) A mandamus is issued directing respondent Nos.1 and 2 and the Special Deputy Commissioner now appointed to execute the Recovery Certificate at Annexure-B and recover the amount within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. - 6 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:14600 WP No. 7844 of 2026 (iii) The petitioners are at liberty to furnish a list of movable and immovable properties to the Special Deputy Commissioner along with supporting documents.
