Karnataka HC dismisses BBMP’s appeal against Mysuru Road skywalk
The Karnataka High Court on Tuesday dismissed the BBMP’s challenge of a single bench order allowing construction of the skywalk linking the Mysuru Road Satellite Bus Stand and Ramani Timber Mark.
A division bench headed by Chief Justice Prasanna B Varale declined to entertain the appeal observing that the civic agency cannot blow ‘hot and cold’ over the matter.
The June 17, 2022 single bench order over a petition filed by Shakthi Developers Private Limited was in favour of the company.
Though the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) cleared the tender in favour of Shakti Developers in 2016, it subsequently passed orders to cancel the contract and forfeit bank guarantees in 2019 and 2020 due to several reasons.
