People surrendering their land for road-widening in Bengaluru North’s Bidarahalli hobli must be issued Transferable Development Rights (TDR) in three months, the high court has directed the BBMP.
“If the delay is brooked, the BBMP shall pay the cost to the petitioners at the rate of Rs 1,000 per week per square metre of relinquished lands, in addition to risking contempt action,” Justice Krishna S Dixit said in his order.
The petitioners have been asked to file with the High Court registry and with the BBMP an affidavit of Rs 100 non-judicial stamp paper to the effect that the BBMP has been in the exclusive possession of subject lands
