Karnataka High Court Permits Sealing of Illegal Paying Guest Accommodations in Bengaluru
The Karnataka High Court has authorized the Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA) and related civic bodies to take action, including sealing, against paying guest (PG) accommodations operating illegally in Bengaluru. The court noted many PGs lack proper licenses, plan sanctions, and fire safety compliance. It emphasized ongoing inspections and enforcement rather than one-time licensing. While some PG owners sought time to comply, the court allowed action against those violating norms and not party to the petitions. Further hearings are scheduled for November 4.
