K N Srinivas and others, in their petition, said that it should be spelt as 'Bengaluru' instead of the present spellings. On the occasion of Suvarana Karnataka celebrations, the state government on November 1, 2007 proposed the change in the names of Mysore, Bangalore, Mangalore and other cities.

The petition articulated that the 'Bengalooru' not being a Kannada word should be replaced by 'Bengaluru' by BIAL, media and Government Departments.
