JUSTICE R DEVDAS ORAL ORDER Learned AGA takes notice for respondent Nos.1 to 3. Notice to respondent Nos.4 and 5 is not necessary, for the following reasons: The grievance of the petitioners is that the first respondent - Deputy Commissioner, Bengaluru Urban District has dismissed their revision petition in R.P.No.39/2021 on 22.07.2024 for non-prosecution. Learned counsel points out to the order-sheet maintained by the Deputy Commissioner and submits that for more than 25 to 30 hearings, there were no sittings of the Deputy Commissioner and on one fine day, this order is passed dismissing the revision petition on the ground that there is no representation for the petitioners. 2. Consequently, the writ petition is allowed by setting aside the impugned order passed by the Deputy Commissioner. The revision petition in RP No. 39 of 2021 filed by the petitioners is restored to the file of the Deputy Commissioner, Bengaluru Urban District. The Deputy Commissioner shall once - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:11385 WP No. 6022 of 2026 again issue notice to the respondents and proceed to hear the parties and decide the matter on merits.
