JUSTICE E.S.INDIRESH ORAL ORDER 1. Heard learned counsel appearing for the parties. 2. In this Writ Petition, petitioners are assailing the order dated 11.10.1981 in KLRM-2889/77-78 (Annexure-A) in respect of the land in question. 3. Learned Additional Government Advocate raised preliminary objection as to delay of nearly 38 years in challenging the impugned order. 4. Having taken note of the submissions made by the learned counsel appearing for the parties, on careful consideration of the matter would indicate that the impugned order is passed on 11.10.1981 and perusal of the averments made in the Writ Petition would indicate that there are no sufficient cause shown to condone the delay of nearly four decades in filing the Writ Petition. 5. In that view of the matter, following the declaration of law made by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of - 6 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:32275 WP No. 15427 of 2019 Shivamma (Dead) by LRs Vs. Karnataka Housing Board and Others reported in 2025 SCC OnLine SC 1969 and in H. Guruswamy and Others Vs. A. Krishnaiah, since deceased by LRs, reported in 2025 SCC OnLine SC 54, I am of the view that, the Writ Petition deserves to be dismissed on the ground of delay and laches as no sufficient cause has been shown to condone such inordinate delay in filing this Writ Petition. 6. It is also submitted by Sri. Ravi H.K., learned counsel for respondent Nos.3 to 8 that, pursuant to the impugned order at Annexure-A, subsequent events have taken place and third party rights have been created. In that view of the matter, no interference is called for in this Writ Petition. 7. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed. 8. Pending applications if any, do not survive for consideration.
