JUSTICE ANU SIVARAMAN and HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE VIJAYKUMAR A. PATIL ORAL JUDGMENT (PER: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE VIJAYKUMAR A. PATIL) This writ appeal is filed by the petitioners challenging the order of the learned Single Judge dated 26.08.2021, passed in W.P. No.36615/2019. The learned Single Judge dismissed the writ petition holding that Form No.7A application has been considered by the Authority and granted an extent of 4 acres, 38 guntas. In respect of the rest of the land, resumption order was passed on the ground that no application was filed. We do not find any error in the order as such. 2. At this stage, learned counsel for the appellants submits that the appellants are different families and they have filed an application in Form No.1A on 18.01.2022 and filed W.P.No.32650/2024, seeking to issue writ of mandamus to consider such application. We make it clear that the dismissal of the writ petition by the Court in W.P. No.36615/2019 would not come in the way of the learned Single Judge considering - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:9122-DB WA No. 414 of 2022 the prayer in W.P. No.32650/2024 as well as the Authority in accordance with law. With the above clarification, writ appeal is disposed of. Sd/- (ANU SIVARAMAN) JUDGE Sd/- (VIJAYKUMAR A.
