Apex court orders BDA not to acquire land of layouts sanctioned before August 3, 2018
In its recent order related to Shivarama Karanth Layout, the Supreme Court told the Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) not to acquire land for layouts which were approved and sanctioned before August 3, 2018. The order comes as a huge relief for hundreds of property owners living in high-rise buildings, and others who had purchased sites in these layouts and built houses.
In its affidavit, the BDA had informed the apex court that in the land notified for formation of Shivarama Karanth Layout, there were 17 layouts developed on 126 acres, with due approval from the authority. The court was informed that buildings, including high-rises, have come up in these layouts.
