Ulagappa And Ors. vs Divn. Commr. And Ors.

The Supreme Court held that the writ petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution was premature as no final notification had been issued regarding the inclusion of areas within the Tarikere Town Panchayat following the notification dated 22.8.97 under Section 349 read with Section 4 of the Karnataka Municipalities Act, 1964. The Court found that the rights of the petitioners were not affected by the mere issuance of the initial notification, leading to the modification of the High Court's judgment. Consequently, the appeal was disposed of without costs.
