Mangaluru, Nov 21: In another relief to RSS veteran Kalladka Prabhakara Bhat and Dakshina Kannada MP Nalin Kumar Kateel, the High Court on Tuesday quashed the case registered against them by Bantwal police for protesting in violation of prohibitory orders and creating unrest following the murder of RSS worker Sharath Madiwala.

Justice Ashok G Nijagannavar quashed the proceedings against them while allowing the petition filed by Kateel and others on the ground that there were lapses in filing of the complaint as the same was not filed by competent authorities.

The petitioners have contended that the FIR was registered by the police owing to political pressure and there was a delay of seven months in issuing notices by Bantwal town police asking them to appear before them for investigation.

The notices were served when assembly elections were nearing, they claimed. The police had issued notices to them on February 15, 2018.

According to the petition, the police had registered a suo motu case on July 7, 2017 under Sections 142, 143 (unlawful assembly), 188 (disobedience to order) and 149 (offence of common object) of IPC, for violating prohibitory orders clamped by the Deputy Commissioner, by holding a procession over the murder of RSS worker Sharath Madiwala.

Apart from Bhat and Kateel, the case was registered against  MLAs Rajesh Naik, V Sunil Kumar, MLC Kota Srinivas Poojary, former MLC Ganesh Karnik, former MLA Padmanabha Kottary and others.

Kochi, Mar 30: Kerala High Court, while hearing a petition filed against Karnataka's decision to block the border with Kerala, on Monday said that no lives should not be lost in the name of fighting coronavirus.

Kerala High Court also said that "the current problem should be resolved amicably. Both the Union government and the Karnataka government should rise to the occasion."
The Central government has informed Kerala High Court that the movement of goods and medical services qualify under essential services, which is permitted despite the lockdown, and added that directions have been issued to give priority to the movement of such goods and services.
Meanwhile, the Karnataka government has sought a day's time to clarify their stand.

The matter will be taken up for further hearing via video conference tomorrow.
Kerala government has submitted that the action of Karnataka government to close the border is illegal as all the national highways in the country come under the jurisdiction of the National Highway Authority.

Meanwhile, Congress MP Rajmohan Unnithan has also approached the Supreme Court seeking directions to open the Karnataka-Kerala border to allow movement of ambulances and other emergency vehicles for the transport of essential items to Kerala.
