The Court had passed an interim order of stay as prayed for by the complainant in I.A.No.1/2025 filed in the said revision petition. 2. The said application is not on record.

The scheduled property is described as residential site bearing site No.19, formed out of Sy.No.50/3 situated at Matadahalli village, Sulthanpalya, Kasaba Hobli, Bengaluru North Taluk. 3. The learned counsel appearing for the accused submits that in terms of the Joint Development Agreement [JDA] dated 14.12.2023, a copy of which is placed on record, the construction is being carried out on different sites, which were earlier as part of Sy.No.53/1 and not on land comprising Sy.No.50/3.
