Bengaluru: The
Karnataka High Court (HC) has granted a week’s time for the State Government to decide on the leased out 139.39 acres of land owned by Public Works Department (PWD) in Survey No. 4 and 74 at Kurubarahalli in Mysuru to the Mysore Race Club (MRC). Expressing displeasure over the way how time has been sought on the issue, the HC gave the Government a final chance on the issue.
The High Court Division Bench comprising Chief Justice Abhay Shreeniwas Oka and Justice S. Vishwajith Shetty yesterday granted a week’s time to the Government while hearing a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed by Bengaluru-based advocate S. Umapathi challenging the Government decision to extend the lease of land to the MRC.
