FOR R4) 10 THIS WRIT PETITION IS FILED UNDER ARTICLES 226 AND 227 OF THE CONSTITUTION OF INDIA PRAYING TOQUASH THE RESOLUTION DATED 13.4.2012 PASSED BY THE TOWN MUNICIPALITY KARKALA MARKED AS ANNEXURE-P & ETC. THESE WRIT PETITIONS COMING ON FOR PRLY.HEARING THIS DAY, CHIEF JUSTICE MADE THE FOLLOWING: O R D E R VIKRAMAJIT SEN, C.J. (Oral) : These are Public Interest Litigations praying for the exclusive operation of the new site as bus stand at Bandimutt, in place of the old bus stand. 2. It is contended that the local public is opposed to return to the old position where the bus stand in the congested part of Karkala was being used. 3. It is further contended that almost Rs.1.50 Crores has been spent on the construction of the new bus stand which is now being used as a dump yard and is also abused by anti social elements. No law has been violated by the Municipality in resuming past operation at the old bus stand. It is also evident that as per Resolution dated 5.3.2011, it is intended to use both the bus stands for bus journeys. These decisions are essentially 11 administrative in nature and do not call for any further consideration by the High Court. 4. We are in no doubt that the Municipality shall give effect to its Resolution to use both the bus stands. With these observations, Writ Petitions are disposed of. Sd/- CHIEF JUSTICE Sd/- JUDGE Ap/-.
