Pulling up the Deputy Commissioner of Mysuru for carrying out constructions in “blatant disregard” of the undertaking given to the court and its earlier multiple interim orders, the Karnataka High Court has directed the officer to immediately stop all construction activities of whatsoever nature on the Chamundeshwari Temple premises, without any exception.
Justice Sachin Shankar Magadum passed the interim order on a writ petition filed in 2024 by Pramoda Devi Wadiyar, who is a legal descendant of the erstwhile royal family, challenging the Shree Chamundeshwari Kshetra Development Act, 2024. The petitioner had brought to the court’s notice that construction works were carried out, contrary to the court’s earlier orders.
