The State Government on Monday sought a clarification from the Karnataka High Court whether or not the pendency of a batch of petitions questioning various provisions of the Akrama-Sakrama scheme would come in the way of the Governor granting assent to the Bill to amend the relevant laws for implementing the scheme.
Moving an application before a Division Bench comprising Chief Justice J.S. Khehar and Justice A.S. Bopanna in this regard, Advocate-General Ashok Haranahalli submitted that both the Houses have approved the amendments to the Karnataka Town and Country Planning Act for regularisation of certain unauthorised properties and buildings in the State under the scheme.
Mr. Haranahalli pointed out to the Court that the Governor has not granted assent to the Bill as the issue is sub judice.
The court said that it has to hear the petitioners in this regard and adjourned further hearing on the plea to June 20.
