SC refuses to stay BMIC alignment order

he Supreme Court has declined to stay Karnataka High Court's March order confirming the alignment of Bangalore Mysore Infrastructure Corridor (BMIC) peripheral road near Gottigere tank. Arguing for the petitioner, Uday Holla pleaded for stay of the impugned order on the peripheral road. However, when the SC Bench (Justices D K Jain and H L Dattu) sought the state government's opinion, the latter said it has no grievance against the HC order and would obey it in toto. Besides feeling that the public project would come to a standstill if the stay is granted, the SC said the petition had been filed to put forth political motives. In March, the HC ordered that BMIC promoters, Nandi Infrastructure Corridor Enterprises, can take an alignment near Gottigere tank instead of constructing pillars over it while connecting the peripheral road that would link Hosur Road and Bannerghatta Road.
