Karnataka Housing Board – Appellant
Versus
State of Karnataka – Respondent
JUDGMENT
C.T. RAVIKUMAR, J.
1. Leave granted in SLP (C) No. 1361 of 2021 and on consent taken up for hearing along with connected Civil Appeals. In all these Appeals a common question arises for consideration viz. “whether initiation of proceedings for acquisition of land for the purposes of the Karnataka Housing Board, invoking the power under Section 33(2) of the Karnataka Housing Board Act, 1962, without the housing scheme being in existence or the housing scheme not having been sanctioned under Section 24(2) thereof, would render such acquisition proceedings void and non-est.” Certain allied questions may also call for consideration. We may hasten to state that we do not propose to dispose of the appeals on merits under this judgment and it would only resolve the stated common question and cognate issues. Nonetheless, if nothing survives for consideration in any appeal, upon answering the moot question and allied issues, then its fate would depend upon the nature of their answers.
