By Express News ServiceBENGALURU: The Cubbon Park Walkers Association has moved the Karnataka High Court questioning administrative approval given by the state government for the proposed seven-storey court’s annex building in place of the old Election Commissioner’s office, between KGID building and Press Club. The court also reserved liberty for the petitioner to implead the High Court as party. Replying to this, the counsel of the petitioner submitted that the petitioner (the association) is only influencing public opinion. He also pointed out that they could not get the copy of the order issued by the government on September 23, to give administrative approval for the construction of the building in question. Cubbon Park needs to be preserved for the next generation and city’s lung space will be jeopardised if construction of the proposed building is allowed, the petitioner claimed..
