IS FILED UNDER ARTICLES 226 AND 227 OF THE CONSTITUTION OF INDIA, PRAYING TO (A) QUASHING THE IMPUGNED ENDORSEMENT BEARING NO.LND(N)/CR 118/2015-16 DATED 03.10.2025 VIDE ANNEXURE-U PASSED BY THE 2ND RESPONDENT AUTHORITY HOLDING THE SAME IS ILLEGAL AND ETC. THIS PETITION, COMING ON FOR PRELIMINARY HEARING, THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER: CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SURAJ GOVINDARAJ ORAL ORDER 1. The petitioners are before this Court seeking for the following reliefs: (a) Issue Writ in the nature of Certiorari or Order or Direction in the similar nature quashing the impugned endorsement bearing No.LND(N)/CR 118/2015-16 dated - 23 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:28514 WP No. 1160 of 2026 03.10.2025 vide Annexure-U passed by the 2nd respondent authority holding the same is illegal; (b) Issue Writ in the nature of Mandamus or Order or Direction in the similar nature directing the respondent authorities to consider representation dated 22.09.2015 vide Annexure-C and representation dated 25.02.2017 vide Annexure-L addressed by petitioner No.1 Samithi to implement the Ashraya Urban Scheme by allotting sites and issuing Hakku Patras in favour of the petitioner No.2 to 151 in respect of land bearing Sy.No.77 measuring to an extent of 4 acres situated at Pillahalli Village, Dasanapura Hobli, Bengaluru North Taluk; (c) Grant any such other relief or relief's as this Hon'ble Court deems fit to grant in the facts and circumstances of case in the interest of justice and equity. 2. The petitioner had earlier approached this Court seeking for a mandamus direction to the respondents to consider the implementation of ‘Ashraya Yojana Scheme’ in land bearing Sy.No.77 of Pillahalli Village, Dasanapura Hobli, Bengaluru North Taluk to an extent of 4 acres. 3. In pursuance of which, a mandamus having been issued to the respondents, who have considered the same and passed an order on 03.10.2025 stating - 24 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:28514 WP No. 1160 of 2026 that 4 acres of land for the purpose of reservation to implement the Ashraya Scheme is not available. It is challenging the same, the Petitioners are before this Court seeking for the aforesaid reliefs. 4. The contention of learned counsel for the petitioners is that the land in Survey No.77 has been classified as sarakari gomala. Therefore, the land being available could have been reserved for implementation of the Ashraya Scheme and allotment of sites to the Petitioners. 5. The implementation of the Ashraya Scheme is a policy decision to be taken by the respondents and is a State largesse, which is to be determined and implemented by the respondent-State. The petitioners cannot have a vested interest in claiming a particular survey number to be reserved for implementation of the Ashraya Scheme, which is at the sole discretion of the respondents. - 25 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:28514 WP No. 1160 of 2026 6. This Court had directed the respondents to consider the same. The same has been considered and rejected on the ground that the extent of land is not available for implementation of such scheme. The same being in the domain of policy decision of the respondents, the reliefs which have been sought for by the Petitioners cannot be granted. 7. With the above observations, the writ petition stands dismissed. Sd/- (SURAJ GOVINDARAJ) JUDGE KTY List No.: 1 Sl No.: 39
