The appellants/petitioners made the following prayers in the said writ petition: "a. Review or Recall the order dated 27.09.2021 passed in W.P.No.51929/2014 by the learned Single Judge of this Hon'ble Court vide Annexure-A in so far as direction issued para 91(XIV) and XX(h)(L). b. Pass such other order or further orders as this Hon'ble court deems fit. In the facts and circumstances of the above case, in the interest of justice and equity." 3. We are of the considered view that the W.P.No.4114/2025 was not maintainable against the judgment and order dated 27.09.2021 passed in W.P.No.51929/2014 by the learned Single Judge. However, since the relief sought was to review the order dated 27.09.2021, the learned Single Judge, vide impugned judgment and order dated 12.06.2025 in W.P.No.4114/2025, considered the prayers and rejected the same. 4. The appellants/petitioners claim to be the owners of the lands bearing Sy.No.43/1 measuring 2 acres 19 guntas, Sy.No.43/2 measuring 8 acres 25 guntas and Sy.No.43/3 measuring 29 guntas all situated at Dasarahalli Village. Initially, - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:2679-DB WA No. 1467 of 2025 the Government had sought to acquire more than 3,000 acres of land for the formation of Arkavathi Layout, which included the lands of appellants/petitioners as well. The land acquisition proceedings were marred by numerous litigations up to the Supreme Court and finally, the Supreme Court in the case of Bondu Ramaswamy and others Vs. Bangalore Development Authority and others reported in (2010) 7 SCC 129 directed the Government to consider the objections of the land owners for inclusion of their lands in the acquisition proceedings considering the parameters as set out in the said judgment. 5. Numerous objections came to be filed before the Government and the Government, after considering such objections issued a Final Notification in June, 2014 deleting 983.12 acres of land from the acquisition proceedings. As there were serious complaints about large scale corruption, mala fide exercise of the power in an arbitrary and improper manner by the State Authorities in deleting the lands of a few, a number of writ petitions came to be filed before this Court and the learned Single Judge vide judgment and order 27.09.2021 in - 5 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:2679-DB WA No. 1467 of 2025 W.P.No.51929/2014 connected with the batch of other writ petitions, constituted a Committee under the Chairmanship of a retired Judge of this Court Sri K. N. Keshavanarayana, (Justice K. N. Keshavanarayana Committee) to examine the correctness of the deletion/inclusion of the lands from/in the final notification. The appellants/petitioners were issued notices by the Committee and the matter is being examined by the Committee. 6. At this stage, the appellants/petitioners have filed W.P.No.4114/2025 before this Court seeking review of the judgment and order dated 27.09.2021 passed in W.P.No.51929/2014 and other connected writ petitions. 7. The learned Single Judge, having taken note of the W.P.Nos.38055-38058/2014 filed by the appellants/petitioners, in which they themselves had challenged the final notification of June, 2014, has dismissed the W.P.No.4114/2025. 8. We do not find any error in the impugned judgment and order dated 12.06.2025 passed in W.P.No.4114/2025 by - 6 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:2679-DB WA No. 1467 of 2025 the learned Single Judge. We, therefore, dismiss the writ appeal. Sd/- (D K SINGH) JUDGE Sd/- (S RACHAIAH) JUDGE RKA List No.: 1 Sl No.: 4
