Today, On 7th July, BJP MP Tejasvi Surya told the Karnataka High Court that the new Bengaluru Metro fare is “unaffordable for many middle-class commuters.” He accused BMRCL of hiding the report that recommended the steep fare hike.
Today, On 1st April, The Karnataka High Court dismissed a public interest litigation (PIL) challenging the fare hike for Bengaluru Metro, also known as ‘Namma Metro.’ The court stated that it would not intervene unless there was a clear violation of the law. The petitioners had argued that the fare increase was unjust, but the court found no legal grounds to interfere. This ruling reinforces the court’s stance on judicial restraint in matters involving administrative decisions.
