The High Court of Karnataka on Wednesday restrained the Inter-University Centre for Yogic Sciences (IUCYS) and Kalaburagi-based Central University of Karnataka (CUK) from felling trees and levelling the plots allotted to them in a bio-park. A division bench comprising Chief Justice Abhay Shreeniwas Oka and Justice Suraj Govindaraj passed the interim order on a PIL petition filed by K.B. Vijayakumar, a city-based advocate. The bench passed the interim order by assessing the nature of work undertaken in land allotted to the two institutes based on photographs produced by the petitioner.More Related News
