ORAL JUDGMENT
(PER: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE D K SINGH)
On 20.11.2025, this Court passed the following order: "1. After some arguments, it appears that one of the solutions for the appellants' grievance is for the appellants to furnish a fresh plan for modification, as well as for raising a Second Floor. The concerned Department shall consider whether the same conforms to the Building bye-laws and if so, to grant such permission.
2. Needless to state that the appellants would be required to complete the entire construction within the time as stipulated by the authority.
3. Learned counsel appearing for the BBMP seeks time to take instructions.
4. List on 16.12.2025.
5. Interim order granted earlier to continue till the next date of hearing."
2. In pursuance to the said order, the appellant has made an application to the Bengaluru West City Corporation, for sanctioning the modified plan of his building in question.
HC-KAR
3. The request in the application of the appellant dated 27.02.2026, to approve the building plans was considered and vide the building license dated 02.03.2026, the building plans have been sanctioned.
4. The appellant should now modify or re-construct his building strictly as per the sanctioned building plans dated 02.03.2026.
5. The Bengaluru West City Corporation shall inspect the building as soon as the appellant will intimate the said authority that the building is complete. The learned counsel for the appellant submits that the building would be completed in accordance with the sanctioned building plan dated 02.03.2026. If the Bengaluru West City Corporation finds the building constructed in accordance with the revised building plan dated 02.03.2026, they shall issue the completion certificate.
6. With the aforesaid directions and observations, preset appeal stands disposed of. In view of the modified
HC-KAR
plan having been sanctioned, the impugned order does not survive and therefore, set-aside.
7. We make it clear that the appellant shall construct the building or modified the building strictly in accordance with the revised sanctioned building plan dated 02.03.2026 and no deviations shall be permitted. Any deviation would result in strict action in accordance with the law.
8. In view of the disposal of the appeal, all/any pending application, stand closed.
