Live Law  

The Karnataka High Court has directed the State Government to take action against persons in authority, who granted "illegal permissions" in respect of various building structures to be constructed in the "no construction zone" along the National Highway. The development comes in a PIL filed against 4 private respondents who had allegedly illegally constructed structures crossing the building line adjoining the National Highway - 66. The petitioner relied upon a Circular issued by the State Government dated December 22, 2005, which stated that the "no construction zone" in respect of National Highway is up to 40 meters, State Highway is up to 40 meters and District main road is up to 25 meters. Relying on Sections 7 and 9 of the Karnataka Highways Act, 1964, Senior Counsel Udaya Holla appearing for National Highway Authority of India conceded that no construction could take place in the 'no construction zone".
