Today, On 14th April, If the Basic Structure doctrine ever goes, we could witness another Jallianwala Bagh,” remarked Former Supreme Court judge Justice Rohinton Fali Nariman. He made this statement during the launch event of his book titled The Basic Structure Doctrine.
The Karnataka HC Today (Sept 24) dismissed Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s petition challenging Governor Thawar Chand Gehlot’s decision to sanction his prosecution in the alleged MUDA land scam case. Bench ruled the Governor could take an “independent decision” and that Mr Gehlot “did apply his mind in abundance”. There is, therefore, “no fault in the Governor’s actions, as far as the order (to prosecute the Chief Minister) is concerned”, the court said.
