THESE APPEALS, COMING ON FOR ORDERS, THIS DAY, JUDGMENT WAS DELIVERED THEREIN AS UNDER: CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE D K SINGH and HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE T.M.NADAF ORAL JUDGMENT (PER: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE D K SINGH) These three appeals have been filed impugning the common judgment and order dated 13.08.2024 passed by the writ Court in W.P.No.33208/2016 (LA-BDA) C/w W.P.No.32475/2016 (LA-BDA) and W.P.No.32476/2016 (LA-BDA). 2. The parties are referred to as per their ranking before the writ Court, for the sake of convenience. 3. Sri B.S. Sachin, learned counsel appearing for the appellants/Bangalore Development Authority (for short 'the BDA'), submits that the petitioners' challenge to the land acquisition proceedings were negated by the learned Single Judge as well as the Division Bench in the earlier round of litigation. In support of the said submission, he - 6 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:14085-DB WA No. 1638 of 2024 C/W WA No. 1645 of 2024 WA No. 1667 of 2024 has placed on record the judgment dated 03.04.2025 passed by the Coordinate Bench of this Court in Writ Appeal No.1329/2006 and other connected writ appeals. It is further submitted that the petitioners were parties before the learned Single Judge, however, they were not parties before the Division Bench. The petitioners did not prefer the appeals and they accepted the judgment of the learned Single Judge in the earlier round of litigation. 4. It appears that the said fact and the judgment dated 03.04.2025 were not brought to the notice of the learned Single Judge in the present writ petition in W.P.No.33208/2016 (LA-BDA) C/w W.P.No.32475/2016 (LA-BDA) and W.P.No.32476/2016 (LA-BDA). 5. Therefore, we deem it appropriate to permit the appellants/BDA to file a review petition seeking review of the judgment and order dated 13.08.2024, which is impugned in these writ appeals. - 7 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:14085-DB WA No. 1638 of 2024 C/W WA No. 1645 of 2024 WA No. 1667 of 2024 6. The appellants/BDA are granted four weeks time to file the review petition before the learned Single Judge. If they file the review petition, till the review is finally decided, the respondents/petitioners are restrained from alienating or creating any third party right or interest in respect of the properties in question. 7. With the aforesaid directions, we dispose off these writ appeals. 8. In view disposal of the appeals, pending interlocutory applications, if any, do not survive for consideration and accordingly stand disposed of.
