Shivaram Karanth Layout: SC regularises 300 buildings
The Hindu
Order based on recommendations by Justice A.V. Chandrashekar Committee that was constituted to identify lawful buildings in the notified area
The Supreme Court, in its recent order, has instructed the Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) to regularise 300 buildings that were built in the area notified for the formation of the Shivaram Karanth Layout. Owners constructed these structures between 2014 and 2018.
The regularisation of the 300 buildings has come as a huge relief to property owners. The court also directed the BDA to issue regularisation certificates to the owners in a transparent manner within four weeks under the supervision of the committee. The authority has also been asked not to acquire or take possession of these properties subject to the order issued on December 3, 2020.
The SC order is based on recommendations by the Justice A.V. Chandrashekar Committee that was constituted to identify lawful buildings in the notified area.

The draft policy for “Responsible Digital Use Among Students”, released on Monday by the Department of Health and Family Welfare, has recommended that parents set structured routines with clear screen-time rules and prioritise privacy, safety, and open conversation with children on digital well-being.
