BACKGROUND:

1. As noted in the judgment, Bangalore-Mysore Infrastructure Corridor Area Planning Authority & Anr. Vs. Nandi Infrastructure Corridor Enterprise Limited & Ors. (2021) 18 SCC 401. Historically, the Chieftain from Magadi, Kempegowda built Bangalore during 1597 and established a few towers on the boundary limits of Bangalore. The Mughals conquered it in 1687. It is said, it was sold to Chikka Devaraya in 1690 for Rupees three lakhs. It was Hyder Ali, who got it as a personal Jagir in 1759. However in 1791, Tippu Sultan was given suzerainty over it after the Treaty of Srirangapatnam. After the fall of Tippu at Srirangapatnam, the same was returned to the Hindu Royalty in 1799. A military cantonment of the British was established in 1809 and Bangalore later on flourished as an administrative centre since 1830. It grew spectacularly after 1951.

2. The population of Bangalore was 12 lakhs during 1961 and it rose to 29 lakhs as per 1981 census. In 1981, it was the fifth most populated city in the country and accounted for 25% of the population of the State - Hubli-Dharwad, the next urban centre accounting for a fifth of Bangalore size population.

3. Compared to Karnataka's growth in population during 1981-1991 which was 20.09%, the growth of population of Bangalore Urban Area was 59.08% during 1971-1981 and 38.00% in 1981-1991 and that of rural Bangalore was

24.30% during 1971-1981 and 14.70% in 1981-1991.

4. As against this, Mysore with a population of 6.52 lakhs in 1991 recorded a growth of 24.97% in 1971- 1981 and 21.58% in 1981-1991 at the district level. Various agencies estimated the expected population of Bangalore during 2001 as 70 lakhs (Town Planning Department) and 82 lakhs (anticipated by Bangalore Water Supply and Sewage Board). The Comprehensive Development Plan ("CDP") 1984 for 2001 of Bangalore Development Authority ("BDA") projected a population of

70.00 lakhs for Bangalore in 2001. The revised (1995) CDP for 2011 AD proposed land uses for 56,465 hectares as against 43,928 hectares during 2001. Thi
