Karnataka High Court terms KIADB’s act of acquiring land for IMTMA as ‘fraud’

Observing that “acquiring land for a profitable private entity under the guise of public purpose amounts to a fraud on statute and the Constitution”, the High Court of Karnataka has quashed the State government’s 2012 notifications acquiring private lands for the benefit of the Indian Machine Tool Manufacturers Association (IMTMA) for constructing multi-level car parking facilities for its Bangalore International Exhibition Centre (BIEC) on Tumkuru Road.
