Bengaluru: The High Court on Thursday has granted the state government four weeks’ time to inform it of its stand on a resolution passed by BBMP in January 2015 to ban different form of advertisements such as hoardings, banners, flexes in the city.

A division bench of acting Chief Justice Subhro Kamal Mukherjee and Justice Ram Mohan Reddy granted time after the court was informed that the resolution had been forwarded to the state government for it to take a final call. The division bench is hearing a public interest litigation filed against the Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike’s (BBMP) resolution passed in 2006 to make 14 main roads of the city free of advertisements.

The division bench also extended a stay granted in the case of two acres of land given for construction of a memorial for actor Vishnuvardhan at Mailasandra on Uttarahalli Main Road in Bengaluru South Taluk.

The stay was extended for two weeks, after the government’s advocate sought time to submit a reply.
