Bengaluru, Jul 29: The Karnataka High Court’s division bench of Chief Justice Abhay Oka and Justice H P Sandesh today rejected an application that wanted Amulya Leona’s case to be transferred from Karnataka Police to the National Investigation Agency (NIA).
The bench, while observing that extraordinary jurisdiction can’t be exercised for transferring the case to the NIA, asked “What is so special that investigation should be transferred to NIA?”
The court, in its previous hearing, had questioned the maintainability of the petition seeking transfer of the sedition case against Leona to the NIA.
According to the petitioner, advocate Pavana Chandra Shetty, the case is a serious matter against national integration and unity and has not been investigated properly by the police. The state police also failed to file the chargesheet within 90 days, he said, and also asked for cancellation of her bail.
The bench asked the petitioner as to how a bail, already granted to a person, can be cancelled. “Is it not the indefeasible right of the accused to be released on bail if chargesheet is not filed within stipulated time? How can you make a prayer for cancellation of bail?” the Court asked.
The counsel for the petitioner also stated that in cases of a cognizable offence, when the chargesheet is purposely not filed within the stipulated time, the matter will have to transferred to the appropriate authority.
The court responded to his contention by asking him how could the court override law and cancel the bail. “Where is the question of cancellation of bail? Can we override the law and say that bail should be cancelled?” said the bench.
Advocate Vishal Raghu had filed the petition for transfer of Leona’s case, who was accused of raising pro-Pakistan slogans at an anti-CAA rally on February 20 at Freedom Park. The advocate had blamed the probe team for not filing a chargesheet on time and has asked the state government to approach the higher court against bail granted to Leona.
Bengaluru student Amulya Leona was charged with sedition for her actions in the presence of All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul-Muslimeen chief Asaduddin Owaisi. She was arrested by the Bengaluru police for allegedly shouting ‘Pakistan Zindabad’ slogans at an anti- CAA Protest in Bengaluru in February this year. On June 11, she was granted conditional bail by the Bengaluru civil court.
Her bail plea was earlier rejected by a Bengaluru court, after she had spent a three-month period in jail, stating that she may abscond if she is released. The sessions judge Vidhyadhar Shirahatti had also stated that if the petitioner is granted bail, she may abscond and may involve in similar offence which affects peace at large and hence her petition is liable to be rejected. The court had also noted that Amulya Leona is an influential person who may threaten and influence the witness and hamper the case in case of the prosecution and will abscond if released on bail.

Dear Sangeeth, If U carefully reading your VEDAS which says God is ONE and there is no image of GOD. U will use your intellect to know Why VEDAS says so... ARE we worshiping lifeless objects? U will come to the conclution that there is only ONE GOD who has no image where VEDAS is speaking the TRUTH. Please Learn more U can also check thequranproject online.
Learn why Vedas mention NA TASYA PRATIMA ASTI - There is no image of God. Y are U worshipping lifeless objects ... She recognized the TRUTH... Now she need to inform her parents to contemplate on the message of VEDAS which says there is only one God and no image of him. Then U will know who needs justice.
I think Hadiya already understood and she is very intelligent to recognize the Cheddi deception of keeping the hindus away from the TRUE GOD.... in Hindu scriptures it is mentioned that there is no image or statue of God. NA TASYA PRATIMA ASTI... I request the NON muslims to ask with the HINDU scholars if there is no image of God in the scriptures why are V worshiping the stones, statues (which are lifeless) ? TRUE GOD ALLAH will guide those who are HONEST in looking for him who is worthy of Worship.
She accepted Islam after developing an interest in that particular religion while studying homeo medicine and living with Muslim roommates. Her marriage was happened later through a matrimonial site. Respecting their parents feeling, every individual has the freedom to accept any religion and also to decide their life partner. There is no element of love jihad as sanghis propagate.

If it is not love jihad and their love is pure, why she got converted. He could tell her to stay in her religion and could have married her. Thier aim is different. not love. Its love jihad.
Have to wait what cheddi people will do next.
Love jihad.. Proper love jihad. Father must get justice. Court should give justice to her father.
Cant blame her father. We will tell secular things untill it happen to us. That father must have had lot of dreams of her marriage. Everything got spoiled, even after that also she got converted. A normal cant accept as being father
