Asking Gaurav Gupta, Chief Commissioner of Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) to be more careful in future, the High Court of Karnataka on Thursday accepted his unconditional apology for ‘untended disobedience’ to an earlier order of the court, which had directed BBMP not to dump mixed garbage at Mittaganahalli quarry pit sans obtaining permission from the Karnataka State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB).
A Division Bench comprising Chief Justice Ritu Raj Awasthi and Justice S.R. Krishna Kumar said that the Court does not wish to proceed against Mr. Gupta for violating the court order of March 6, 2020 by accepting his apology.
The Bench was hearing PIL petitions filed since 2012 complaining about city’s municipal sold waste management issues.
