ORAL ORDER
(PER: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE JAYANT BANERJI)
A memo containing a list of documents with a verifying affidavit is filed, enclosing therewith an order passed by the Secretary to the Government addressed to the Municipal Directorate, Bangalore, which is enclosed as Annexure-R9. In furtherance thereto, an endorsement dated 13.08.2026 is issued by the Municipal Commissioner to the accused,
HC-KAR
informing that the land belonging to the Municipality should be disposed of only through auction and therefore, the complainant has been informed that there is no provision in the Rules to sanction the 15x20 feet plot within the limits of Arasikere Municipal Corporation to the complainant. The application has been disposed of.
2. In view of the aforesaid, it is evident that the representation moved by the complainant has been decided. This contempt case is therefore consigned.
3. It goes without saying that it is open for the petitioner to seek such remedy against the aforesaid endorsement if so advised, in accordance with law.
