Karnataka: HC upholds judgment against NICE, calls infra project fit case for independent probe

The Karnataka High Court dismissed appeals by NICE and KIADB regarding the Bengaluru-Mysuru Infrastructure Corridor Project. A division bench upheld a single judge's ruling on the long-running dispute over land acquisition. The court found land acquired for public infrastructure was commercially exploited, violating the Framework Agreement. Thousands of landowners have remained without compensation for decades, the judges noted.
