The High Court of Karnataka has issued an interim stay order, asking to maintain the current status of the Adiyogi statue and Isha Yoga Centre at the base of Nandi Hills near Bengaluru. Sadguru's Isha Foundation was planning to unveil the statue on January 15th. The PIL argued that such a commercial venture should not be established in a sensitive ecological area, as the government had granted land without due adherence to the legal process.
The public interest litigation alleged that a commercial enterprise was being set up in an ecologically fragile environment.
