No resort land for BMIC: HC

Staff Reporter
BANGALORE: The Karnataka High Court on Tuesday, in an interim order, directed the authorities not to dispossess a resort of its land at Gottigere for the contentious Bangalore-Mysore Infrastructure Corridor Project (BMICP).

Justice Mohan Shantangouder passed the order on a petition by Sunny Holiday Village and Convention Centre.

The centre had moved the court against what it claimed was an arbitrary and illegal exercise of power by the Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Board (KIADB) in seeking to acquire 4.08 acres of land at Gottigere for the BMICP project taken up by Nandi Infrastructure Corridor Enterprise (NICE). It said the alignment was deliberately changed and the land on which the resort was situated was now sought to be acquired. Justice Shantangouder stayed dispossession of the land and adjourned hearing of the case.
