The Court noted that in KP Balakrishna v.Deputy Conservator of Forest , it had ordered the BDA to consider the claims of the petitioners and allot sites to them within three months. If sites are not available in the Arkavathy Layount, the Court had directed that they must be allotted site in any other layout.
The Court held that the petitioners in the instant would also be entitled to the benefits of the directions issued in said order.
The High Court directed the counsel for BDA to get instructions in the manner in which the petitioners’ grievance could be resolved.
“The present case though is a gross dereliction of duty by the concerned persons, inasmuch as sites have been formed by the BDA in the buffer zone of a secondary Nala, same has resulted in re-doing of the layout plan virtually obliterating the sites which have been allotted to the petitioners“, the Court observed in its Order and listed the matter for further consideration on June 7.
