Today, On 6th June, the Karnataka State Cricket Association approached the High Court, challenging the FIR filed against it under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita in connection with the stampede during RCB’s victory celebration, and urgently sought its quashing through a writ petition.
The Bengaluru Court re-issued summons to Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah and Deputy CM DK Shivakumar in BJP’s defamation case related to an advertisement termed ‘Corruption Rate Card’. Rahul Gandhi was exempted until June 1st. The case stems from BJP’s complaint regarding pre-2023 state election allegations. The court ordered them to appear on April 29th after acknowledging a prima facie case.
The Karnataka High Court dismissed a PIL challenging the oath-taking method of Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar, eight Cabinet Ministers, and thirty-seven MLAs. The court ruled the oaths were in compliance with constitutional format, acknowledging the societal respect for revered figures. The petitioner’s argument for violating the constitutional mandate was dismissed, emphasizing understanding of India’s diverse practices.
