     the final notification dated 28.12.1982, etc.,

           These writ petitions, coming on for preliminary
     hearing in B Group. this day. the Court made the
     following:

                                ORDER

The facts of the case in brief are that the petitioners are the owners of the land measuring 2 acres 32 guntas at Sy.No.4 of Boopasandra Vifiage, Kasaba Hobli, Bangalore North Taluk. Their lands, along with the lands of others, were notified for acquisition for the formation of the Rajamahal Vilas 2nd Stage Further Extension. In this regard. the preliminary notification dated 19.01.1978 and the final notification dated 28.12.1982 were Issued under Sections 17(5) and 19(1) respectively of the Bangalore Development Act, 1976 (BDA Act for short). At the petitioner's instance, the second respondent - Bangalore Development Authority (for short, BDA) recommended that the schedule property be denotified. It passed a resolution on

2.4.09.1992 In this regard. This was followed by the spot-inspection by Joint Director and Deputy Director of Town Planning. The endorsement dated 13.01.1993 issued on the basis of the spot-Inspection conflnns the existence of the residential buildings, coconut trees. wells with pump- house. etc. The proposed layout plan did not comprise the schedule property as on 08.05.1986. It Is therefore the case of the petitioners that their possession of the schedule property was not disturbed at all. The khata of the schedule property stood in the name of the petitioners. They have been paying the property tax till 2007. On 18.06.2008 they got the building plan sanctioned by Bangalore Mahanagara Pallke; the petitioners have also produced the electricity bills and the receipts for having paid the electricity charges In respect of the schedule property. When thus stood the state of affairs, the officials of the second respondent--BDA came to the schedule property on 26.09.2009, demolished a part of the structures tu'ditul tlcrtiot it '' i thtt 110 Ior:1iJjfl!ii'j', 1 1 1 1 t cr1111! .111 flt'r11fl m- (a tC(I ii 'tia i ( I 2 i I t cii tIl a 1 lIt U 1 C 11pI)1r1lTq tITi c Lw! at lit Del 1111 clam mpeiiI' 4 In )sti1t' U 'er imina t i 1.

the Land Acquisition Act to show that the possession of the lands In question was taken on 06.10.1986. Sri Hoila joins Issue with Sri Shivakumar and submits that many lands are withdrawn from the acquisition even after the Issuance of the 16(2) notificatIon, as admittedly the actual possession of the lands was not taken. Sri Shivakumar submits that the possession of the lands at Sy.Nos.9. 10 and 19 measuring 19 guntas. 21 gunt as and 5 guntas, respectively, was taken over by BDA.

He further submits that the possession of the said lands is handed over to the Central Excise House Building Co operative Society.

29. I take note of the controversy revolving round the possession. As per SectIon 36(1) of the BIlk Act, 1976, the provisions of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 are applicable to the acquisition of lands under BDA Act to the ettent possible. Under Section 16 of the Land Acquisition Act. the Deputy Commissioner is empowered to take the possession of the land but after ASH.

produced to show that the petitioners are served with Section 12(2) award notice.

30. The award Is stated to have ben passed on 18.09.1986. No explanation Is forthcoming as to why the respondents took four years to pass the award. Although the final notification is issued on 28.12.1982, the award is passed only on 18.09.1986.

31. The sloth does not end at this stage. The respondents took 23 years to deposit the award-amount with the Reference Court. The award-amount is deposited belatedly on 27.08.2009.

32. It is also not in dispute that the Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BMfl has registered the petitioners as the khathedars in respect of the schedule property after collecting the betterment charges and the property 4ç -

39. If large chunks of the similarly placed lands are withdrawn from the acquisition proceedings as is evident from the denotifications, dated 30.10.1984 and 30.08.20 10 (Annexures F and Q, respectively), there is no reason for the respondent BDA to continue with the acquisition of the petitioners' land. The note submitted by the respondent No.1, the contents of which are extracted hereinabove, Is reflective of the fragmented Implementation of the scheme - 12% of the lands for which the final notification Is Issued. The Apex Court has held In the case of BEML House Building Society Ltd., (supra) that there cannot be any discrimination In the matter of dropping and continuing with the acquisition.
