High Court Quashes ‘Reckless’ Criminal Case Against Wedding Invitation Seeking Vote for Modi

The Karnataka High Court dismissed criminal proceedings against two petitioners for purportedly violating election laws via a wedding invitation advocating votes for Prime Minister Modi. Justice Nagaprasanna criticized the filing as “reckless” and “preposterous,” emphasizing that the invitation, printed prior to the election notification, could not be deemed an election pamphlet. The court deemed the actions an abuse of legal process.
