Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy and his Telangana counterpart K. Chandrashekhar Rao were jointly enacting a 'drama' to cheat the people by raking up a needless controversy over the sharing of Krishna waters, BJP State president Somu Veerraju said. Addressing the media here on Sunday, Mr. Veerraju claimed that both Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy and Mr. Chandrasekhar Rao were hand in glove with each other. “They talk personally and pretend as if they were at each other's throats with a view to protect the interests of the respective States for political reasons. If the State government was sincere in finding a solution to the issue, it should take it up with the appropriate Constitutional bodies, including Krishna River Management Board instead of taking up public campaigns,” he added.“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.
