The garage, owned by Ravindra Marnamikatte and Mohammed Wajid Hasan, was so noisy that it was creating a lot of problems for the local people. The public, therefore, filed a complaint with the health officer.

MCC Commissioner Harish Kumar, on June 24, 2011, served a notice on the garage owners to shut down the garage. Ravindra went to court, but the court did not rule in his favor. The commissioner then issued a notice as per Clauses 355 and 443 of the Karnataka Municipal Corporation Act of 1976.

Accordingly, on Nov 6 health officers arrived and sealed the shutters of the garage.

On Oct 16, 2012, the commissioner had sent a letter to the garage owners, warning them that strict action will be taken against them if they fail to shut down the garage within three days of receiving the letter.
