...RESPONDENTS
(BY SRI.BOPANNA BELLIYAPPA., AGA FOR R-1 & R-2;
SRI.G.M.ANAND.,ADVOCATE FOR R-3 & R-4)
THIS WRIT PETITION IS FILED UNDER ARTICLES 226 AND 227
OF THE CONSTITUTION OF INDIA PRAYING TO CALL FOR RECORDS
PERTAINS TO COMMERCIAL SHOPS PUBLIC E-AUCTION
PUBLICATION PUBLICATION BEARING NO. PU.KA.KRU/KAM/SHA/E-
AUCTION/01/2025-26 DATED. 19.01.2026 ISSUED BY RESPONDENT
NO.3.
THIS PETITION, COMING ON FOR PRELIMINARY HEARING,
THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER:
CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SURAJ GOVINDARAJ
ORAL ORDER
1. Learned AGA accepts notice for respondents No.1
and 2.
2. Sri.G.M.Ananda., learned counsel is directed to
accept notice for respondent No.3 and 4.
3. The petitioner is before this Court seeking for the
following reliefs:
i) Call for records pertains to Commercial Shops Public
E-auction publication publication bearing No.
Pu.Ka.Kru/Kam/Sha/E-Auction/01/2025-26 dated:
19.01.2026 issued by respondent no.3.
ii) Issue writ in the nature of certiorari to quash the
Commercial Shops Public E-auction publication
bearing No. Pu.Ka.Kru/Kam/Sha/E-

NC: 2026:KHC:9435
HC-KAR
Auction/01/2025-26 dated: 19.01.2026 issued by
respondent no.3 as per Annexure-A as illegal bad in
law. in so fear of petitioners concerned.
iii) Pass any appropriate order deems fit to the facts
and circumstances of the case and to meet the
interest of justice.
4. The grievance of the petitioner is that the petitioners
being the tenants of various shops in Commercial
Shopping Complex at K.R.Pet, the respondents are
now proposing to auction the said commercial shops
by way of e-auction and thereafter disposes the
petitioner from their respective shops.
5. Merely, because, the petitioners are tenants as
regard the commercial shop, they cannot continue to
be using the said premises after the expiry of the
lease. In terms of the guidelines issued in the year
2019, it is but required for the TMCs to deal with the
public properties by way of public auction and during
that stage, a existing tenant has an option to
participate in the auction and if successful to
continue to retain the possession by making payment

HC-KAR
in terms of the auction notification. In the event of
the existing tenant not being successful, possession
would have to be handed over within a reasonable
period of time.
6. The tenant also has another option of exercising
Right to First Refusal by choosing not to participate
in the auction and making payment of 5% over and
above the highest amount bid at the said auction.
7. Again, needless to say, if the said Right to First
Refusal is not exercised within time period prescribed
under guidelines, then the tenant would be required
to hand over the possession of the premises within
30 days of such auction being held.
8. Faced with the above situation, learned counsel for
the petitioner on instructions, submit that the
petitioner would exercise their Right to First Refusal
and they would not participate in the auction.
9. In that view of the matter, I pass the following;
- 13 -
NC: 2026:KHC:9435
HC-KAR
ORDER
i. The writ petition is disposed of.
ii. Liberty is reserved to the petitioners to
excise their Right to First Refusal, post the
e-auction being held on 18.02.2026 and
make their offer in terms of guidelines
within time frames stipulated therein.
iii. If no such offer is made by the petitioner,
the respondent would be free to take such
action for eviction of the petitioner as may
be permissible under law after the expiry of
30 days from the date of auction being
held.
