1.

Shri N. Kumar, learned counsel accepts notice for the respondent.

2.

Heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and learned counsel appearing respondent. Perused the material on record.

3.

The petitioner has approached this Court seeking to set aside the order dated 07.10.2022 issued by the respondent - Authorities and to direct disbursement of the compensation in respect of land bearing Kaneshmari - 3 - NC: 2025:KHC:44575 WP No. 11856 of 2025 HC-KAR No.90 measuring East to West 27 gajas and North to South 9 gajas situated at Nagadevanahalli Village, Kasaba Hobli, Doddaballapura Taluk.

4.

The case of the petitioner is that he is the absolute owner of the aforesaid land, which was required by the respondent for the formation of National Highway Road-207. It is stated that the name of the petitioner was not reflected in the records, though a portion of the property was purchased by one Chandrashekar, whose name appeared as the Khatedar in the records. The petitioner submitted a representation to the respondent stating that though a small portion was purchased by Chandrashekar, the remaining extent continued to belong to him. The respondent issued an endorsement dated

07.10.2022 stating that compensation was already disbursed to Chandrashekar to the extent of the land purchased by him and directed the petitioner to produce tile deeds, Form No.9 and 11e-Khata and encumbrance certificate for verification. - 4 - NC: 2025:KHC:44575 WP No. 11856 of 2025 HC-KAR

5.

It is submitted that pursuant to the said endorsement dated 07.10.2022, the petitioner has submitted required documents along with a representation at Annexure-L, but the same has not yet been considered by the respondent. The order dated

07.10.2022 being only a direction to produce the title deeds, and the matter remains pending before the authority, the petitioner is therefore prematurely before this Court.

6.

In view of the above, this Court is of the opinion that no interference is called for at this stage and the respondent shall consider the representation submitted by the petitioner in accordance with law.
