It violates article 300A of the Constitution, says court
In a relief to property owners, the High Court of Karnataka has quashed a circular issued by the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) in 2016 requiring the owners to mandatorily surrender the portion of their properties, earmarked for widening of roads in the Revised Master Plan (RMP)-2015, free of cost to the BBMP as a condition precedent for sanctioning of the building plans.
The court also quashed a series of endorsements given by the BBMP to several property owners informing them that their application for sanctioning of the building plans would be processed only if they surrender the earmarked portion of their properties for widening of roads to the BBMP free of cost.
