Bengaluru (PTI): Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Monday directed officials to explore the possibility of granting a one-time permission to the buildings constructed in violation of the rules without the Commencement Certificate (CC) and Occupancy Certificate (OC).
Siddaramaiah held a meeting with the officials regarding the Supreme Court directions on mandatory CC and OC to avail essential services like electricity, water and sanitary connection in the state.
The CM said there will be a follow-up meeting on October 8 to discuss in detail the legal possibilities of providing electricity and water connections. It will focus on exempting applications submitted up to March 2025 (before the implementation of the Supreme Court order), from OC and CC requirements. A final decision will be taken at that meeting.
A statement issued by the Chief Minister’s office said that even though the order of the Supreme Court applies to all states of India, Siddaramaiah instructed officials to verify whether all states are implementing the order.
“A discussion was held regarding the possibility of granting a one-time permission to the buildings constructed violating the rules, and it was said that the already constructed buildings cannot be demolished. The decision of the government should be beneficial to the people,” the statement said.
At the meeting, it was pointed out that already houses have been constructed without proper permissions and people are residing there.
The Chief Minister and others explored the possibility of regularising buildings through a one-time application.
“On October 8, a meeting will be held with the Chief Secretary of the Government, the concerned Departmental Ministers, the Advocate General of the Government, the Legal Advisors of the Chief Minister, and the concerned officials to discuss in detail the legal possibilities of providing electricity and water connections by exempting from OC and CC for the applications submitted up to March 2025 before the implementation of the Supreme Court order, and an appropriate decision will be taken,” the statement said.

Vijay unable to prove majority, not invited for CM oath ceremony: Sources
Chennai: Actor-politician Vijay has reportedly not been invited to take oath as Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu after failing to demonstrate support from the required number of MLAs, sources in Raj Bhavan said.
According to media reports that quoted sources in the office of R.N. Ravi Arlekar, Vijay could not prove the backing of 118 legislators, the majority mark in the 234-member Tamil Nadu Assembly.
Despite last-minute efforts to secure support from the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK), Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazagam (AMMK), and an IUML legislator, Vijay reportedly managed support from only 116 MLAs, falling short by two members.
Sources said Vijay failed to submit letters of support from the VCK and the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML).
Later, the IUML issued a statement clarifying that it was not part of the TVK-led alliance.
Meanwhile, AMMK leader T.T.V. Dhinakaran is also said to have informed the Governor that his party would support the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) instead.
Earlier in the evening, Vijay had met Governor Arlekar and staked claim to form the government, stating that he enjoyed the support of 118 MLAs.
