Staff Reporter

HIGH COURTROUND-UP

Bangalore: A Division Bench comprising acting Chief Justice B. Padmaraj and Justice V. Jagannathan on Friday directed the high-powered committee set up by the High Court to monitor the roads and road construction in Bangalore to give a copy of its report to the petitioner.

The petitioner, K.N. Subba Reddy, had filed an interlocutory application seeking a copy of the report so as to file a response. The Bench said the committee would give a copy after the petitioner paid the charges. It adjourned further hearing on the case by two weeks.

Dismissed

A Division Bench comprising Mr. Justice Padmaraj and Mr. Justice Jagannathan on Friday dismissed a petition by Jamaat-U-Quaresh Beef Merchants Charitable Trust and nine others seeking a review of an earlier High Court directing the authorities to shift the slaughterhouses outside the city limits.

The petitioners said they were not party to the order made in a public interest litigation (PIL) petition in 2002 and that the livelihood of 10,000 people depended on the slaughterhouses.

The Bench refused to review the earlier order and said it was only an attempt to reopen a matter which had already become final and conclusive long back.

It levied costs on the petitioners and said there was no error in the earlier judgment.
