| | HC notice to Karnataka over Palace takeover (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17) |
 | | Wodeyar in the petition has challenged the Mysore Palace (Acquisition and Transfer) Act, 1998, and also the validity of the gazette notification issued on November 30. |
 | | The petitioner, son of the late Sri Jayachamaraja Wodeyar, former ruler of Mysore, said the Palace was built by his fore-fathers and it housed a number of buildings and temples. |
 | | In another petition, Wodeyar submitted that the Palace had movables such as the golden howdah, the royal throne, royal wears, royal treasury, ornaments and paintings, which he contended, were governed by the Antiquities and Art Treasure Act passed by the Parliament and hence the Mysore Palace Act was ultra vires. |
