The Karnataka High Court has directed the district authorities to cancel land acquisition notification issued for Madikeri Private Bus stand stating that the decision to construct private bus stand and star hotel in the three acre land belonging to Agriculture University is illegal.
The Madikeri Private Bus stand has been in controversy since the time it was conceptualized by the CMC.
Apart from the way the contract was awarded to the selected firm, the way the land was acquired was also under the scanner.
