THE TAHASILDAR BENGALUR NORTH TALUK BENGALURU - 560 002. …RESPONDENTS (BY SRI. SPOORTHY HEGDE N., HCGP ) THIS WRIT PETITION IS FILED UNDER ARTICLES 226 AND 227 OF THE CONSTITUTION OF INDIA PRAYING TO QUASH THE ORDER DATED 26-3-1996 PASSED IN CASE NO.LRF(83) 69 95-96, AND 47:89-90 BY THE 1ST RESPONDENT DECLARING THAT THE PURCHASE MADE BY THE PETITIONER FROM SMT. SHASHI MOHINDRA (VENDOR) IN RESPECT OF THE LAND BEARING SY.NO. 10/1 MEASURING 2 ACRES 20 GUNTAS, AND 10/2, MEASURING 3 ACRES 11 GUNTAS INCLUDING 17 GUNTAS OF KARAB, SITUATED AT BAGALAKUNTE VILLAGE, YESHWANTHAPURA HOBLI, BENGALURU IN VIOLATION OF SECTION 79A, 79B AND 80 OF KLR ACT VIDE ANNEXURE-A. THIS PETITION, COMING ON FOR PRELIMINARY HEARING IN 'B' GROUP, THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER: CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE E.S.INDIRESH ORAL ORDER Heard Sri. Prakash K.A., learned counsel appearing for the petitioners, and Sri. Spoorthy Hegde - 27 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:34756 WP No. 18848 of 2024 N., learned High Court Government Pleader appearing for the respondent-State. 2. In this writ petition, the petitioners have assailed the order dated 26.03.1996 (Annexure-A) passed by respondent No.1 – the Assistant Commissioner. 3. It is the case of the petitioners that they had purchased the land in question under various sale deeds, as stated in the writ petition. A perusal of the impugned order at Annexure-A indicates that the respondent in proceedings No. LRF (83) 69/1995-96 was the vendor of the present petitioners. Since the impugned order was passed against the petitioners' vendor and not against the petitioners themselves, the petitioners have no locus standi to challenge the impugned order at Annexure-A. - 28 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:34756 WP No. 18848 of 2024 4. It is pertinent to mention here, that the impugned order was passed on 26.03.1996, whereas the present writ petition has been filed only in the year 2024. The RTC extracts also indicate the land as "Sarakari" (Government land). In these circumstances, I am of the opinion that the writ petition is liable to be dismissed on the ground of delay and laches, following the law declared by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Shivamma (D) by LRs. v. Karnataka Housing Board and Others, reported in 2025 SCC OnLine SC 1969, and H. Guruswamy and Others v. A. Krishnaiah (since deceased) by LRs., reported in 2025 SCC OnLine SC 54. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. SD/- (E.S.INDIRESH) JUDGE SB; List No.: 1 Sl No.: 56
