Bangalore, Sep 30: In a strange incident, a state minister has approached the High Court (HC) with a petition against Bangalore Development Authority (BDA).

Katta Subrahmanya Naidu, minister for IT, BT and housing, who is in the thick of controversy over his alleged involvement with Karnataka Industrial Area Development Authority scam, and who reportedly has been asked by the Chief Minister to keep his resignation letter ready, filed a petition in the HC against BDA.

On Wednesday, a petition was filed by the minister in HC, seeking to quash the proposed demolition plan of the BDA relating to certain structures standing in a layout near Byatarayanapura in the city. His wife, K Soubhagya, former MLA, M B Lakshminarayana, and M B Murthy are the other petitioners in the suit.

The petitioners have argued that the BDA’s plan was arbitrary. Justice Rammohan Reddy, who considered the petition, adjourned hearing in the case.
