The said writ petition was clubbed with the other connected writ petitions filed by the owners of godowns and other properties adjoining 'Janana Mantapa' for similar reliefs and other consequential reliefs. A coordinate Bench of this Court, by its order dated 03.06.2003, has inter alia observed that 'Janana Mantapa' is a private property and same was not acquired by the Government under Section 13 of the Act and in that view of the matter, the said notifications issued by the State declaring 'Janana Mantapa' as a 'protected monument' were illegal, arbitrary and contrary to the provisions of the Act.

In addition, there is also copy of the complaint dated 02.04.2019 given by Sri Rajanna M. as Commissioner of City Municipal, Chamarajanagar, to the District Superintendent of Police, Chamarajangar District, to register criminal complaint against those who were unauthorizedly occupying the said 'Janana Mantapa'.

In this proceedings, on 01.04.2019, an order was passed by this Court directing the Commissioner, Chamarajanagar Municipal Council, to take appropriate action to remove the name board put up by 'Suvarna Kannada Rakshana Vedike (Reg.)' to the property at 'Janana Mantapa' and also to file criminal complaint against them.
