Decision on sale of land to JSW will be subject to court orders
The High Court of Karnataka on Tuesday imposed a rider on the State government that the decision taken by the State Cabinet on April 26 to sell 3,667 acres of land to JSW Ltd., Ballari, at a meagre ₹1.22 lakh per acre, would be subject to further orders to be passed by the court. The court also made it clear that any action taken based on the April 26 Cabinet decision, the same also would be subject to its further orders. A Division Bench comprising Chief Justice Abhay Shreeniwas Oka and Justice Suraj Govindaraj passed the interim order on a PIL petition filed by K.A. Paul, a resident of Bengaluru.More Related News
