The High Court of Karnataka, in a special hearing held on Sunday, said that prohibitory order imposed by Bangalore City Police Commissioner for “restricting public access to Phoenix Mall of Asia” shall neither be treated as an order completely prohibiting or preventing using of the mall for its business purposes nor completely prohibiting and preventing the public from having access to it.
A vacation bench of Justice M.G.S. Kamal passed the order on a petition filed by Sparkle One Mall Developers Pvt Ltd, which manages the Phoenix Mall of Asia, situated on the service road in Byatarayanapura on Bellary Road, leading to the international airport.
The Court also made it clear that the police should not take any precipitative action against the mall till the matter is resolved amicably or further orders passed by court during the next date of hearing, January 2.
