HC to hear OPS’s appeal on Thursday
The Madras High Court on Wednesday decided to hear on Thursday an appeal preferred by the AIADMK’s expelled leader, O. Panneerselvam, challenging an interim injunction granted by a single judge on November 7 restraining him from using the party flag, symbol and letterhead.
The Third Division Bench of Justices R. Mahadevan and Mohammed Shaffiq allowed a sub-application filed by the appellant for dispensing with the production of a certified copy of the single judge’s order and ordered listing of the appeal for hearing on Thursday.
“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.
