The present intra-Court appeal has been filed impugning the judgment and order dated 06.08.2024 passed by the learned Single Judge in W.P No.64693/2016 filed by the appellant Society. 2. The parties are referred to as per their ranking before the writ Court for the sake of convenience. 3. The petitioner had filed the writ petition challenging the order dated 17.08.2016 passed in M.A. No.33/2011 by the XIV Additional City Civil Judge, Bengaluru (CCH-28), whereby the miscellaneous appeal preferred by the petitioner to quash the impugned notice dated 20.03.2007 issued under Section 4(1) of the Karnataka Public Premises (Eviction of Unauthorised Occupants) Act, 1974 was dismissed. 4. Admittedly the petitioner's lease in respect of the premises in question got over in the year 2006. Despite the petitioner's lease having got expired, the petitioner - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:6029-DB WA No. 1496 of 2024 did not vacate the premises in question. The petitioner became unauthorised occupant of the premises once the lease period of 30 years starting from 1976 got over in the year 2006. The prescribed Authority as well as the Appellate Authority have rightly passed the impugned orders which do not require any interference by this Court. We, therefore, dismiss this appeal. In view of the dismissal of this writ appeal, pending IA’s, if any, stands disposed of. Sd/- (D K SINGH) JUDGE Sd/- (S RACHAIAH) JUDGE UN List No.: 1 Sl No.: 2
