T.P.VIVKENANDA, ADVOCATE FOR RESPONDENT NOS.3 AND 4) THIS WP IS FILED UNDER ARTICLES 226 AND 227 OF THE CONSTITUTION OF INDIA PRAYING TO DIRECT THE TAHSILDAR TO DELETE THE NAME OF THE MYSORE URBAN DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY i.e. RESPONDENT NO.4 IN RESPECT OF SY.NO.121/3 MEASURING 0.05 GUNTAS OF BOGADI VILLAGE, MYSORE TALUK, MYSORE DISTRICT WHICH LAND BELONGS TO THE PETITIONER. THIS PETITION, COMING ON FOR PRELIMINARY HEARING IN 'B' GROUP, THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER: CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE R. NATARAJ ORAL ORDER The petitioner has sought for a direction to the respondent No.5 to delete the name of Mysore Urban Development Authority in the revenue records relating to Sy.No.121/3 of Bogadi Village, Mysuru Taluk, Mysuru district measuring 0.05 guntas. 2. (i) The petitioner contends that she is the owner of the aforesaid land and her name was entered in the revenue records. She claims that from the year 2012-2013 and 2013- - 3 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:27686 WP No. 11272 of 2015 2014, the name of the Mysuru Urban Development Authority was entered in Column No.11 and it was specifically mentioned that the land was notified for acquisition. The petitioner made a representation through her husband to furnish a copy of the acquisition notification. The respondent No.3 issued an endorsement enclosing therewith a copy of the preliminary notification that was issued on 10.07.1992. (ii) The petitioner thereafter sought information whether a final notification was issued in respect of the aforesaid land and respondent No.2 confirmed that a final notification was issued on 19.03.1996. However, no award was passed thereafter. The petitioner therefore, contends that the acquisition is still born as no award is passed within a reasonable time. (iii) The petitioner contends that in similar circumstances, another land loser named Smt. M. N.Padma, has approached this Court in W.P.No.36369/2014 to delete the name of Mysuru Urban Development Authority from the revenue records and that the same was favourably considered by this Court. She therefore prays that a suitable direction be - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:27686 WP No. 11272 of 2015 issued to the respondents to delete the name of the Mysuru Urban Development Authority from the revenue records entered in the aforesaid land, since the acquisition is not yet finalised. 3. Learned counsel for respondent Nos.3 and 4, submits that though notifications were issued under Sections 17(1) and 19(1) of the Karnataka Urban Development Authorities Act 1987, no award is passed in respect of the land bearing No.121/3 of Bogadi Village, Mysuru Taluk, Mysuru district measuring 0.05 gutnas. He therefore, submits that appropriate orders be passed by this Court. 4. A process of acquisition is complete only after issuance of the final notification, passing of an award and taking possession, consequent to which the land vests in the development authority. In the instant case, though a final notification was issued on 19.03.1996, following a preliminary notification, no award is passed till date. Therefore, the acquisition proceedings have not attained finality and no useful purpose would be served in continuing the encumbrance on the petitioner's property indefinitely. - 5 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:27686 WP No. 11272 of 2015 5. Therefore, it is appropriate to mould the relief and quash the preliminary notification dated 10.07.1992 issued by respondent No.1 and the final notification bearing No.ªÀ£ÀE 639 JAL© 93 dated 19.03.1996 issued by respondent No.1 in respect of the land bearing No.Sy.No.121/3 of Bogadi Village, Mysuru Taluk, Mysuru district. 6. Consequently, writ petition is disposed off and respondent No.5 is directed to take steps to delete the name of Mysuru Urban Development Authority from Column No.11 of the revenue records relating to Sy. No.121/3 of Bogadi Village, Mysuru Taluk, Mysuru district, within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Sd/- (R. NATARAJ) JUDGE HJ List No.: 1 Sl No.: 52
