THIS PETITION COMING ON FOR ORDERS, THROUGH PHYSICAL HEARING/VIDEO CONFERENCING, THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER: CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE M.I.ARUN - 3 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:16462 WP No. 35669 of 2025 ORAL ORDER 1. Admittedly, the petitioner has put up construction without obtaining the necessary sanctioned plan, hence, respondents have initiated action to have the same demolished. I do not find any error in the action of Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA) in this regard. However, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that, building has been constructed inadvertently without obtaining a necessary sanctioned plan. He further submits that he may be permitted to apply for a fresh plan sanction and that he is willing to remove that part of the building which is in violation of building bye-laws after respondent-authorities consider his application for a fresh sanction plan. 2. Learned counsel for respondents-GBA has no objection for the same. 3. Hence, the following: ORDER 1. The petitioner shall submit the necessary application for grant of sanction plan for the - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:16462 WP No. 35669 of 2025 building being constructed by him within a period of three weeks from today; 2. If such an application is made within three weeks from today, respondent no.3 shall consider the same in accordance with law and pass appropriate orders; 3. Thereafter, any construction made by the petitioner in violation of the decision taken by respondent no.3, shall be removed; 4. The petitioner shall not put up any further construction on the property till a decision is taken by respondent no.3 in this regard; 5. The writ petition stands disposed of accordingly.
