BANGALORE: The issue
of construction of two-phased underground parking complex in the
high court is all set to enter the Supreme Court.
M G Kumar, advocate for
petitioner in the PIL challenging the project has written to
registrar (judicial) requesting him to release the copy of the April
19 order permitting the construction of the complex to enable him to
move the SC.
On April
19, the high court had okayed the interlocutory application filed by
the PWD seeking permission to construct the parking complex.
It may be recalled
Bimal N Desai, who had filed the PIL against constructions within
Cubbon Park, had moved an interlocutory application (IA) seeking a
direction to the authorities to publish a notice in local dailies
regarding the construction and invite objections from public.
The proposed
construction will damage environment impact and the public have a
right to express their views, he had contended.
A monitoring committee had accepted the
proposal on August 7 last year. The drawings and estimates were
approved by high court and the chief secretary was asked to proceed
with the construction.
