The court directed Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike to submit its Action Taken Report by November 5.
Mountains of uncleared garbage in the city have led to widespread public outrage, raised health related concerns and drawn the attention of the national and international media.
"Everything is only on paper... Every citizen in Bangalore has been suffering because of the garbage problem. Every citizen has a right to see garbage is disposed of properly by the BBMP," the division bench headed by Chief Justice Vikramajit Sen said.
The court was of the view that there is no solid waste management in the city as of today.
Hearing a PIL by advocate G R Mohan seeking superseding of BBMP over the issue, the bench said it would not hesitate to pass an order superseding BBMP if there was any interference by corporators in administration of disposal of garbage.
Earlier, BBMP Commissioner Rajneesh Goel explained the steps taken by the civic body to dispose waste and submitted that 40 per cent of the garbage had already been cleared.
Goel stated that new tenders were being finalised for transportation of garbage and these (new tenders) would be implemented by November 15.
