The High Court of Karnataka on Tuesday directed Simplex Infrastructure Ltd. to file an affidavit giving an undertaking that the remaining works of the much delayed flyover project between Ejipura Main Road and Kendriya Sadan in Koramangala would be completed by December 31, 2022.
A division bench comprising Chief Justice Ritu Raj Awasthi and Justice S.R. Krishna Kumar issued the direction while hearing a PIL petition filed by 70-year-old Adinarayana Shetty, a resident of Koramangala, who had complained about the hardship caused to public due to incomplete flyover project.
The company, in its application, had requested the bench to recall the February 17, 2022 interim order, in which the court had directed the Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) to register a complaint with the police against the company for misappropriation of public money for not completing the 2.5 km long flyover. The court had also directed the State government to accord permission to the BBMP to cancel the flyover project awarded to the company in May 2017.
