With regard to the petition filed by Devaneshon, a resident of Prakash Nagar, the Bench asked him to give a representation to the BBMP on the alleged violation of building bye-laws and other irregularities in the construction of the mall while asking the civic body to conduct an inquiry.

On another petition, filed by city-based advocate N.P. Amrutesh on traffic congestion on Sampige Road due to the mall, the Bench asked the police to take necessary steps.
