Saying that the people of the State have been badly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and floods, KPCC chief D.K. Shivakumar on Sunday urged the government to dissolve the State Assembly and go for a fresh mandate. “Let the new dispensation come based on what the people want and decide,” he told reporters after receiving the State-level COVID-19 report from an MP-led Congress committee on COVID-19. Referring to Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa’s visit to flood-affected areas in Belagavi, he said, “Why is it that the government has failed to provide relief to those affected by floods in the past two years? Why has not Prime Minister Narendra Modi come to Karnataka though the State has seen floods for three years? Why is there a discrimination in flood relief?”“We are judges and therefore, cannot act like Mughals of a bygone era ... the writ courts in the guise of doing justice cannot transcend the barriers of law,” the High Court of Karnataka observed while setting aside an order of a single judge, who in 2016 had extended the lease of a public premises allotted to a physically challenged person to 20 years contrary to 12-year period stipulated in the law.
The High Court of Karnataka on Monday declined to interfere, at present, in the investigation against a Bharatiya Janata Party worker, who is among the accused persons facing charges of circulating obscene clips, related to “morphed” images and videos clips related to Prajwal Revanna, former Hassan MP, in public domain through pen drives and other modes.
