It cited apex court’s orders
Observing that the apex court has specifically ordered the implementation of Dr. Shivarama Karanth Nagar Layout project by upholding the scheme and the preliminary notification issued in 2008, the High Court of Karnataka has declined to interfere with the final notification issued by the BDA in 2018 acquiring 3,546 acres 12 guntas of land for the proposed layout.
The apex court in its August 3, 2018 verdict, has “in unmistakable terms, has directed the State Government and BDA to issue a Final Notification without excluding any portion of land from acquisition by coming to the definite conclusion that there was no scope for exclusion of any land in the ultimate final notification,” the HC said.
Justice S.R. Krishna Kumar passed the order while dismissing petitions filed by several land owners questioning the legality of the final notification issued by the BDA in November 2018.
