Mysuru: A Mysuru city-based advocate has filed a public interest litigation (PIL) before a court to withdraw all sites allotted by Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) under various schemes especially 50:50 scheme, particularly during the tenure of former MUDA Commissioners G T Dinesh Kumar and D B Natesh.
In his petition before the Principal Civil Judge of JMFC in Mysuru, advocate S Arun Kumar has stated that, over 80,000 applicants are waiting for residential sites in Mysuru since several years. In the interest of all these applicants and the general public, he has filed the petition, seeking a permanent injunction, to prevent MUDA from further alienating or transferring any sites allotted under 50:50 scheme.
He has urged the Court to stay all proceedings associated with these allotments to ensure that no further action is taken until a thorough investigation and resolution are achieved legally. He has even appealed to permanently declare all sites allotted since the year 2015, especially during the tenure of Dinesh and Natesh, under the 50:50 scheme, as null and void.
Arun Kumar has even appealed to the Court to restrain MUDA and Mysore City Corporation by way of a permanent injunction not to grant any sort of license for construction or trading activities in the sites allocated under 50:50 scheme since 2015.
