Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed four civil 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 Section 2bb(vi) of the Bangalore Development Authority Act, 1976. The Court upheld the High Court's ruling that the allotment was not in accordance with the provisions of the BDA Act. The judgment reinforces the legal principle that civic amenity allotments must comply with statutory requirements.
