HC stays construction of Karnataka Bhavan at Nilakkal
The order in this regard was issued by a division bench comprising Justice T R Ramachandran Nair and Justice P V Asha while considering a report of Devaswom Ombudsman.
The Ombudsman in his report had wanted to know if the Travancore Devaswom Board, which manages the temple, had the power to enter into such agreement with Karnataka state for building construction.
He also wanted to know if court's prior permission was required for it.
After considering the report, the bench stayed the construction works until further orders.
The case will be considered after two weeks.
