OC withheld over road widening issue
Karnataka High Court ruled that Bengaluru Municipal Corporation authorities cannot demand landowners surrender part of their property for road widening work to obtain an occupancy certificate. This decision was made after Venugopala Reddy and K.N Srinivas from Doddakannalli filed a case against the government and the municipality. The Karnataka High Court stated that no statutory provision existed for such a post-facto requirement, and Article 300A of the Constitution guarantees property rights only when authorized by law.
