JUSTICE E.S.INDIRESH ORAL ORDER Learned Additional Government Advocate accepts notice on behalf of respondents. 2. In this Writ Petition, the petitioner is assailing the order dated 01.06.2023 (Annexure-A) passed by respondent No.1. 3. Having heard the learned counsel appearing for parties and on careful consideration of the impugned order at Annexure-A, would indicate that in an identical matter in WP No.20508/2024 (Annexure-N) order dated 17.04.2025 was considered by this Court. 4. In that view of the matter, I am of the view that the impugned order at Annexure-A is required to be set aside and the matter has to be remitted to respondent No.1-Special Land Acquisition Officer to reconsider the issue afresh after affording an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner. - 4 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010512082026 NC: 2026:KHC:39776 WP No. 23057 of 2026 5.
