ORDER : 1. Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the affidavit dated 26.11.2020, filed by the Commissioner, Bangalore Development Authority. 2. During the course of hearing, it is pointed out that after quashing of the preliminary notification by the High Court and before setting aside of the said order by this Court, several constructions have been put up either by the landowners or purchasers of the sites from the landowners. It is submitted that these constructions are mainly dwelling houses. In this factual background, we are of the considered opinion that some protection against demolition of dwelling houses may be justified. Further the layout is meant for residential sites and this object of formation of layout would not be frustrated by saving lawfully constructed dwelling houses belonging to poor and middle-income groups. 3. Judgment dated 03.08.2018, inter-alia, observes that 45% of the land covered under the scheme was to be utilised for the civic amenities like play grounds, roads etc. and residential sites would be formed by utilising remaining 55% of the land covered under the scheme. It is also clear that out the said 55% of developed residential area, 40% of 55% will be offered as compensation to the landowners as specified in the scheme and remaining 60% of 55% will be the share of the Bangalore Development Authority (BDA). The landowners would be given option to accept the developed eligible residential land or opt for compensation as per the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short ‘the LA Act’). 4. Needless to state that the acquisition of the land under the BDA Act is regulated by the provisions of the LA Act so far as they are applicable. (See: Section 36 of the BDA Act). The borrowed provisions of LA Act, become an integral part of the BDA Act and are totally unaffected by the repeal of the LA Act. In other words, the provisions of the LA Act are incorporated into the BDA Act so far as they are applicable. Of Course, the bar contained in Sections 6 and 11A of the LA Act, are not applicable to the BDA Act. We have discussed this aspect of the matter in our main judgment dated 03.08.2018. In other words, the provisions of the LA Act are incorporated into the BDA Act so far as they are applicable. Of Course, the bar contained in Sections 6 and 11A of the LA Act, are not applicable to the BDA Act. We have discussed this aspect of the matter in our main judgment dated 03.08.2018. It is also clear that the provisions of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation & Resettlement Act, 2013 are not applicable for the acquisition made under the BDA Act. Final notification has also been issued after the pronouncement of judgment by this Court in Civil Appeal No. 7661-7663 of 2018 dated 3.8.2018. We direct the BDA to proceed with the acquisition of the land as proposed in the notification. 5. If the landowner who has put up the construction opts for land by way of a developed plot in lieu of compensation, the constructed portion would be adjusted in the land that would be allotted in his favour. It is also clarified that the persons who have put up construction/dwelling house are not entitled for compensation in respect of the constructed portion of the land. If the incentive scheme as per Bangalore Development Authority (Incentive Scheme for Voluntary Surrender of Land) Rules, 1989, is applied, the constructed portion can also be adjusted towards incentive site for voluntary surrender of land. However, where a person has constructed a dwelling house or any other building and where the constructed portion is not adjusted for any reason, betterment charges could be levied on him under Section 20 of the BDA Act. BDA is directed to integrate the said constructions into the layout. 6. As stated above, the buildings constructed in the layout with valid sanction/permission from the competent authority/authorities needs to be saved from demolition. Therefore, it is important to identify the lawful constructions made in the notified lands. For this purpose, we appoint a Committee comprising of Hon’ble Mr. Justice A.V. Chandrasekhar, former Judge of the Karnataka High Court, as its Chairman, Mr. Jayakar Jerome, former Commissioner of the BDA and Mr. S.T. Ramesh, former Director General of Police, as its members. The Committee is required to look into each of the requests of the owners of the dwelling houses/buildings for its regularisation. Justice A.V.
