Pursuant to the said order, two affidavits have been filed, one by the Principal Secretary (Finance), State of Karnataka, dated 18-1-2011, and the other affidavit is dated 19-1-2011, filed by the Chief Secretary. Pursuant to our order, the Principal Secretary (Finance), State of Karnataka, is present in Court today.

In the earlier affidavit for fresh works, 197 projects for court buildings and 182 for residential quarters were mentioned whereas, in the affidavit filed on 18-1-2011, the figure is different. For fresh works, it is 272 projects for court buildings and 197 projects for residential quarters. This discrepancy may be explained. 8. It may be mentioned that, in terms of Format B-1, the number of proposals pending with the State of Karnataka for release of finance is 414 in respect of court buildings whereas, in terms of Format D-1, 282 proposals are pending administrative and financial sanction as far as residential quarters are concerned.

We have given a copy of the annexures to the Principal Secretary (Finance) for doing the needful. 11. We are informed that the Budget Session for the State will commence from 24-2-2011.
