The Karnataka High Court criticised a Bengaluru Chief Judicial Magistrate for closing a private complaint, calling it breach of criminal procedure and describing it as “procedural harakiri.” “There is not even a method in the madness,” it observed.
The Karnataka High Court on Thursday (7th Nov) quashed a FIR against BJP President JP Nadda, ruling that his election speech did not constitute undue influence as defined by the Indian Penal Code. Justice Nagaprasanna stated that Nadda’s appeal for votes lacked any problematic content, affirming there was no evidence for the alleged offences.
