Vikramajit Sen, J.

1. These Appeals have been filed by the Bangalore Development Authority (BDA), assailing the Order of the learned Single Judge allowing several writ petitions filed by owners/occupants of the lands which were part of the subject matter of acquisition pursuant to the Preliminary and Final Notifications issued in the year 1964, i.e., half a century ago. This acquisition was intended for the formation of a layout called HAL-II Stage by the erstwhile City Improvement Trust Board which has been succeeded by the BDA. The prayers in the writ petitions before the learned Single Judge who passed the impugned Order dated 16.09.2010 in W.P. Nos. 37489 and 37763-37778 of 2009 read thus:

(a) Issue a writ of mandamus directing the 2nd respondent B.D.A. to implement the Board Resolution dated 06.08.1982 in Subject No. 168 to re-convey the lands 1A-06 Guntas in Sy. No. 107/1, 107/2 and 112 of Thippasandra village to its respective owners forthwith, and restrain BDA 2nd respondent by writ of prohibition from interfering with the use and enjoyment of respective owners.

(b) Direct the 3rd respondent for issuance of khatha Certificates to the respective owners in Sy. No. 107/
