It is forthcoming that pursuant to the order dated 17.11.2025 passed in WP No.15867/2025 (Annexure-B to the writ petition) the petitioner has been put in possession of the property purchased by him from KSFC and a possession certificate dated 19.11.2025 has also been issued.

The impleading applicant in WP No.15867/2025 seeks to contend that the petitioner has sold the property vide registered Sale Deed dated 05.07.2022 and he has no subsisting right, title or interest to maintain the petition. The learned counsel for the impleading applicant also seeks to draw the attention of the Court to the description of the property mentioned in various documents to put forth various contentions as to the identity of the property.
