BBMP escapes contempt case with compliance of HC order
A day after facing high court’s wrath over non-compliance of its order in a case concerning the pothole menace, the civic body managed to avoid contempt proceedings by taking urgent remedial action the night before.
Even before the bench led by Chief Justice Abhay S Oka could begin proceedings on Thursday, the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) made a submission before the court officer about complying with the previous order.
The advocate for the civic body K N Puttegowda filed an affidavit stating that an advertisement has been issued in major newspapers on paying compensation for deaths and injuries caused by pothole-related accidents in the city.
