BANGALORE: A division bench headed by
Chief Justice Vikramajit Sen ordered notice to the state government,
DRDO, IISc, Isro, Barc (Mysore), KSSIDC and KHB with regard to a PIL
challenging the government's grant of 8,932 acres of land to these
institutions at various villages in Challakere taluk of Chitradurga
district. The bench also asked the government advocate to inform the
court whether any land is left for cattle grazing.
The petitioners, All India Kisan Sabha,
Karnataka state committee, claimed these lands are essentially gomaal
(pasture) lands used for grazing of cattle/sheep, a major occupation
in an arid area where the average annual rainfall is only 573mm.
