JUSTICE H.P.SANDESH ORAL JUDGMENT Heard the counsel for appellants and also the counsel appearing for respondents. 2. This Court having found the identification of the property between the parties vide order dated 10.01.2022 directing the Mysuru Development Authority (MUDA) to inspect the spot and submit a report. Now the report is submitted by the MUDA on 02.02.2022 stating that consequent upon the direction given by this Court dated 10.01.2022 conducted the spot inspection of sites allotted in favour of the plaintiffs and defendant No.2 and submitted the report. At the time of spot inspection, it was found that though the original plaintiff was allotted with site No.263, measuring 50’ to 75’ feet, however, he - 10 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010241522007 NC: 2026:KHC:37108 RSA No. 843 of 2007 C/W RSA No. 1338 of 2007 has constructed residential house in site No.263/A which was actually allotted in favour of Sri Vishakante Gowda. 3. It is further found that Sri Vishakante Gowda has allotted site No.263/A and 263/B both measuring 50’ to 75’ under Land Loser quota in view of the dispute in respect of site No.263/B. Sri Vishakante Gowda has sought for allotment of alternative site and had been allotted alternative site in Metagalli Layout and his claim at Gokulam layout remains only with regard to Site No. 263/A. In the light of the facts and circumstances prevailing as on date, site No. 263/A, measuring 50’x75’ on which building is constructed by LRs’ of Puttaiah, the original plaintiff could be confirmed in their favour and site No.263, which is in possession of Sri. Vishakantegowda, could be confirmed in favour of his legal representatives. Consequently, the claim of legal representatives of Puttaiah for issuance of possession certificate and allotment letter in respect of site No.263 may have to be - 11 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010241522007 NC: 2026:KHC:37108 RSA No. 843 of 2007 C/W RSA No. 1338 of 2007 rejected inasmuch as the original allottee Puttaiah was not entitled for allotment of two sites from CITB. Copy of the communication addressed to the undersigned by the appellant is produced before the kind perusal of this Court. 4. The respective counsels are present before the Court and in view of mis-identification and construction of the building in different sites which has led to litigation between the parties. In view of the spot inspection and clarifying the report filed by the MUDA and also misidentification of the property in site No.263/A, measuring 50’x75’ on which building is constructed by LRs of Puttaiah, i.e. original plaintiff, could be confirmed in their favour and site No.263, which is in possession of Sri. Vishakante Gowda, could be confirmed in favour of his legal representatives and consequently in view of construction made, the same would be the interchange between both of them. Further, in view of clarification report filed by MUDA to execute a sale deed in favour of - 12 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010241522007 NC: 2026:KHC:37108 RSA No. 843 of 2007 C/W RSA No. 1338 of 2007 the legal representatives of Puttaiah and also in favour of legal representatives of Visakhante Gowda, the same site No.263/A goes to the LRs’ of Puttaiah and also made it clear that the question of claim of site No.263, made by Sri.Vishakante Gowda does not arise in view of already alternative site is given to Vishakante Gowda at Metagalli Layout in view of the issue between the parties which was taken note of by this Court in the year 2022. 5. Further, it is noted that appellant Nos.1 to 6 who are the legal representatives of Late Vishakante Gowda have no objection to allot site No.263 that is intermediate site in favour of appellant Nos.7 and 8 as the said Vishakante Gowda had executed Will in favour of appellant Nos.7 and 8. The said will is also not disputed by appellant Nos.1 to 6 and to that effect have executed the affidavits confirming the will executed by Vishakante Gowda in favour of appellant Nos.7 and 8. Hence, site No.263 goes in favour of appellant Nos.7 and 8. - 13 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010241522007 NC: 2026:KHC:37108 RSA No. 843 of 2007 C/W RSA No. 1338 of 2007 Accordingly, these two Regular Second Appeals are disposed of.
