The Hindu
Thanks to the quick intervention of police, a confrontation between two groups of persons over booking space on a public wall was amicably resolved. The wall was restored to Chennai Corporation for beautification.
Recently, the huge wall located just opposite the Bharath theatre in Washermenpet police limits became problematic for police and other authorities.
TMMK had marked the space as reserved for the outfit a few days ago.
However, members of Vanigar Sangam painted the wall with details of a programme they had organised. Both had a tussle over the issue and complained to the police.
On instructions from Joint Commissioner of Police, North R.V.Ramya Bharathi, representatives of all political parties were summoned to the police station. They were told that defacing a public wall is illegal as per rules and regulations of the civic authorities.
Police restored the wall with the help of Corporation officials. Now it has become a space for meaningful and beautiful graffiti in the area.
“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.
