The High Court of Karnataka has directed the State Government and the Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) to issue Transferable Development Rights (TDR) certificates to several land owners who are waiting for issuance of TDR certificates for years, despite relinquishing lands to the BBMP through the registered deeds.
The court also declined to accept the stand of the Government and the BBMP that they would reconvey the lands to the petitioner-owners while claiming the lands are not required for road widening now and the lands would be returned to the petitioners.
