High Court of Karnataka, Dharwad, admits writ petition seeking stay order
Admitting a writ petition against holding elections to Karnatak Vidyavardhak Sangha (KVS), the Dharwad Bench of the High Court of Karnataka on Thursday said that the results of the election will be subject to the final order of the court.
Justice Suraj Govindraj passed the order on Thursday, while admitting the writ petition filed by Mahadev Doddmani seeking a stay on holding elections to the more-than-a-century old sangha.
Mr. Doddmani said in his petition that there was a government order directing all organisations registered under Bombay Trust Act to get registered with the District Court. And, although, the application filed by the sangha is still pending before the District Court, the sangha has initiated the poll process and has also announced the calendar of events. So, he said, he is seeking a stay on the election process.
