Passing the order on two PILs challenging the allotments of the "G" category sites, a division bench headed by Justice K L Manjunath directed it to submit its report within four months.
The committee should comprise two high court judges and a retired Chief Secretary, the court held, disposing of the PILs filed by city-based advocate S Vasudeva.
The "G" category sites are alloted by BDA to eminent personalities in public life under discretionary quota.
The petitioner had challenged the BDA's allotment of 250 sites between February 2, 2006 and October 8, 2007, when H D Kumaraswamy was the chief minister and 66 sites in 2009 when B S Yeddyurappa was the chief minister. In all, the allotment of 316 sites under "G" category was challenged.
The petitioner had contended that the allotments were illegal and against the rules. He said these sites were allotted without receiving any applications from the allottees, while thousands of people waiting for the sites were neglected.
