An order cancelling the allotment of land requires adherence to procedural fairness, specifically issuing notice as per statutory provisions.

ORAL ORDER

Sri.Bharath Kumar.V., counsel for the petitioner, Sri.Srinivas Kumar.M., HCGP for respondent No.1 and Sri.P.V.Chandrashekar., counsel for respondents 2 and 3 have appeared in person.

2. The captioned Writ Petition is filed seeking a Writ of Certiorari to quash the order dated 03.03.2017 passed by the second respondent in ¸ÀA.PÉ.L.J.r.©/PÉÃA.PÀ/ºÀAaPÉ/13211/18452/2016-17 vide Annexure-A.

3. Counsel Sri.Bharath Kumar.V., in presenting his arguments strenuously urged that KIADB has cancelled the allotment of plot that was allotted to the petitioner without hearing him. He argued by saying that before passing the order for cancellation of allotment under Section 34-B(4), an opportunity must be accorded for the petitioner under Section 34-B(2). Counsel therefore, submits that an appropriate order may be passed.

Counsel Sri.P.V.Chandrashekar., submits that a detailed statement of objections is filed and the same may be taken note of. Counsel urged several contentions and submits that an appropriate order may be passed.

4. Heard the arguments and perused the Writ papers with care.

5. A perusal of the entire writ papers reveals that before passing an order for cancellation of allotment, 34-B(2) notice is not issued to the petitioner. Hence, this Court deems it proper to quash the order passed by the second respondent at Annexure-A. Accordingly, it is quashed.

The petitioner is hereby directed to appear before the Chief Executive Officer, KIADB - second respondent on 18.02.2025 at 3:00 pm., without awaiting further notice. After appearance of the petitioner, the authority concerned shall proceed further in the matter in accordance with the law.

6. Resultantly, the Writ Petition is disposed of
