The High Court of Karnataka on Friday restrained a private builder, who was constructing a multi-storey residential apartment building allegedly within 100 meters of ‘no construction zone’ near the Air Force Station (AFS) in Yelahanka, from selling or creating third party rights over the property.
Justice H.G. Ramesh passed the interim order while hearing a petition filed by the Air Force Commanding Officer, AFS, Yelahanka. The Counsel for the builder has given an undertaking to the Court that no further construction would be carried out till the disposal of the petition. It was complained in the petition that the Deputy Commissioner, Bengaluru urban district, and other authorities had failed to stop construction of Silicon Constructions’ ‘Elegant Aerozone’, despite the complaint filed in 2013.

The High Court also dismissed a PIL petition, which had sought a direction to the Defence authority to reopen General Cariappa Memorial Park to the public.
