Justice B R Gavai expressed gratitude to PM Modi for sanctioning Rs 800 crore for the Supreme Court expansion, emphasizing that the project will provide speedy and affordable justice. He highlighted the importance of modern facilities and acknowledged the government’s role in supporting the judiciary’s efforts to enhance access to justice for citizens.
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.
