The petitioners contend that the aforementioned land was notified for acquisition by respondent No.1 for formation of Bogadi III Stage Extension. A Final Notification was issued declaring the intent of the State Government to acquire the aforesaid land for the purpose of Bogadi III Stage Extension. However, no award is passed and possession of the property is not taken and hence, the acquisition is abandoned. It is also contended that the issue is squarely covered by the judgment of a Co-ordinate Bench of this Court in W.P.Nos.54439-54443/2015. 3. The learned counsel for respondent Nos.2 and 3 does not dispute that the acquisition of Sy.No.48/2 of Bogadi Village for formation of Bogadi III Stage Layout in terms of the Preliminary Notification dated 10.07.1992 and Final Notification dated 19.03.1996 came up for consideration before this Court in W.P.Nos.54439-54443/2015 and that a Co-ordinate Bench of this Court had quashed the notifications as the scheme had lapsed. - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:31120 WP No. 9658 of 2026 4. In that view of the matter, the petitioners are also entitled to be treated alike. Consequently, the writ petition is allowed. 5.
