Karnataka High Court Rejects Plea for Metro Station at Chikkajala
Imagine some people wanted a train station near their homes, but the government said no.
These people asked a judge to make the train company build a station.
The judge looked at the rules and said the decision of where to build train stations is up to the train company, not the judge.
The judge mentioned a similar case where a station was not built.
However, the judge asked the train company to consider the people's request, even though they couldn't force them to build a station.
The Karnataka High Court rejected a plea for a Metro station at Chikkajala.
The PIL was filed by Chikkajala residents concerning the Blue Line.
The court stated station location decisions are for state authorities.
The court referenced a similar case in July regarding a station at Bettahalsuru.
The court asked BMRCL to consider the residents' request for a station.
