Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court reviewed the judgment dated 29.11.2013 concerning the allotment of Civic Amenity Site No. 2, which was initially earmarked for a 'Park' and later for a 'Bank', under Section 38A of the Bangalore Development Authority Act, 1976. The Court found that the High Court's conclusion was based on a misinterpretation of the site's designation, leading to the dismissal of appeals by Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited and others. The Court allowed the review petitions, recalling the previous judgment and directing a fresh examination of the matter in light of new documents obtained under the Right to Information Act.
