Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed four appeals challenging the Karnataka High Court's decision that declared the allotment of civic amenity site no. 2 to Bharat Petroleum Corporation for a petrol pump null and void, citing violations of the Bangalore Development Authority Act, 1976. The Court upheld the High Court's findings that the allotment was not in accordance with the statutory provisions and the public interest. The judgment reinforces the need for adherence to statutory requirements in the allotment of civic amenities under the BDA Act.
