HC vacates stay on BIA road toll collection

Bangalore: The Karnataka High Court on Thursday vacated the stay on the collection of toll on the NH-7 (Bangalore-Bellary road), leading to the Bengaluru International Airport (BIA). The stay was imposed by a lower court in Devanahalli.
Justice Ravi Malimath vacated the stay and adjourned the case for further hearing. The Navayuga Devanahalli Tollway Private Limited (NDTPL) had approached the high court seeking review of the lower court order.
In April 2012, a Devanahalli judicial magistrate had stayed the collection of toll on the road leading to the BIA. The petition in the lower court was filed by a set of advocates against the contractor Navayuga Constructions and the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI), contending that the toll was a heavy burden on farmers who use the airport road to ferry agricultural produce to Bangalore and other parts of the state.
