The High Court of Karnataka has dismissed a PIL petition, which had questioned the allotment of 18 acres of land in the sprawling 1,112 acres belonging to the Bangalore University to various educational institutes associated with the Central government.
A Division Bench comprising acting Chief Justice Alok Aradhe and Justice S. Vishwajith Shetty passed the order rejecting the petition filed by K.B. Vijayakumar, a city-based advocate.
“The permissions granted by the State government do not suffer from any infirmity,” the Bench said, while pointing out that the petitioner had failed to make out a case of either a violation of statutory right or any fundamental right in the pleadings.
