The High Court of Karnataka on Wednesday directed the state government to furnish information about the cases and FIRs registered in connection with unauthorised hoardings in the city.

The direction came during the hearing of a batch of public interest litigations seeking removal of such hoardings.

“Submit a report on the number of FIRs registered within the limits of the BBMP. Furnish information on the complaints registered at the taluk and zilla panchayat level and the action taken on such complaints,” the bench said.

The matter was adjourned to March 31.
