Bollywood singer Sonu Nigam has filed a plea in the Karnataka High Court to dismiss a criminal case against him for allegedly insulting the Kannadiga community after declining a request to sing a Kannada song at a concert. His comments sparked outrage, leading to a formal complaint and subsequent police action.
The Karnataka High Court today dismissed a PIL challenging a bill to reserve private sector jobs for Kannadigas, stating the bill had not become law. The bill aims to reserve 50-75% of jobs for locals, defining eligibility criteria and imposing penalties for non-compliance. The Court declined to address constitutional issues at this stage.
