The Karnataka High Court on Thursday ordered status quo in connection with the works on broad gauge track between Bangalore and Hassan, and adjourned the case for a week.
Justice Anand Byra Reddy passed the order after hearing a PIL filed by one Srinivas and others, alleging that the state government altered the original plan, allegedly to avoid acquisition of businessman Vijay Mallya’s land.
The petitioners said the government initiated steps in 2008 to give compensation based on a notification issued in 2007, but it changed the original plan in August 2011. As per the original plan, 12 acres would have been acquired from a stud farm near Kunigal owned by Mallya, they said.
