The High Court of Karnataka has asked the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) to set up a robust system for handling litigations and create a dashboard to be assessed by the officials concerned for regular monitoring of the legal process before various courts.
The court also said that necessary responsibility would also have to be affixed on the concerned officers and the lawyers of the BBMP to contest the matter in the courts, and not let the matter go uncontested.
Justice Suraj Govindaraj made these observations while noticing that the BBMP had not filed any written statement nor contested an issue related to a road, even after a civil court had issued notice to the BBMP on a suit filed by owners of property adjacent to the road.
