Denotification: notice issued to Yeddyurappa

Staff Reporter

BANGALORE: The Karnataka High Court has ordered issue of notice to Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa and others on a petition by a housing society that claimed that the Chief Minister had deliberately denotified land acquired for it.

The Bangalore District and Bangalore Rural District Cooperative Banks Employees House Building Cooperative Society had been allotted land in Nagarbhavi by the Bangalore Development Authority (BDA).

The society alleged that the Chief Minister had unilaterally and without notice denotified five acres in Nagarbhavi. It urged the court to stay the denotification.

Justice D.V. Shylendra Kumar ordered issue of notice to the Chief Minister and adjourned the case.

Memo filed

Meanwhile, the Government filed a memo in court stating that Chief Minister had withdrawn the denotification notice and that a Government Order had been passed to this effect. The court posted the case to Monday for further hearing.

The former Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy recently made a scathing attack against Mr. Yeddyurappa for denotifying land acquired by the BDA for developing residential layouts.

The JD(S) leader had dared Mr. Yeddyurappa to order an inquiry into the denotification of land acquired by the BDA.
