The Karnataka High Court Thursday permitted the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) to allow Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) to put up temporary hoardings, signages and structures for a publicity campaign for the upcoming Aero India-2023, to be held from February 13 to 17.
The order was passed after hearing a PIL filed by Mayige Gowda in 2017 on illegal hoardings in the city. The division
bench of Chief Justice Prasanna B Varale and Justice Ashok S Kinagi directed the civic body to submit a compliance report in three weeks regarding measures taken to curb unauthorised hoardings across the city.
Representing the petitioner, advocate G R Mohan submitted that there are many unauthorised hoardings in front of the Vidhana Soudha as the BBMP was not taking steps in compliance with earlier orders.
