Mangalore, September 5: The Sullia court has orderered a person to pay double the amount to a person he owed, after the cheque he issued was dishonoured.

K?Chandrashekar Bhat, son of Thippanakaje Sadashiv Bhat, a resident of Kalmadka village and proprietor of Prakhar Telefilms had borrowed a sum of Rs 1,05,000 from his employee Sriram Bhat, a resident of Negalagundi at Pambethadi village in Sullia taluk, in 2006.

As the firm was reportedly running under loss, Chandrashekar Bhat had not paid Sriram Bhat's salary too, which amounted to Rs 55,000, for the work he done in 2006 as well as 2007.

Hence, Bhat issued a cheque for Rs 1,60,000 dated June 20, 2007.

However, when Sriram Bhat presented the cheque in the bank, it was dishonoured due to insufficient funds in Bhat's account, following which Sriram Bhat filed a case against Chandrashekar Bhat on August 31, 2007, after issuing a legal notice.

The Sullia Civil Court Judge C?K?Basavaraj, after conducting inquiry into the case, ordered on September 2, 2011, that Chandrashekar Bhat should pay a sum of Rs 3,20,000 (double the amount the accused owed to plaintiff) to Sriram Bhat. In addition the court also ordered the accused to pay a sum of Rs 10,000 as fine and to undergo one year imprisonment.

If the accused fails to pay the fine amount, then he will have to undergo another three months imprisonment.

Advocate M?Venkappa Gowda and Champa V?Gowda argued on behalf of Sriram Bhat.

Mangaluru, July 29: Justifying the transfer of Dakshina Kannada deputy commissioner Sindhu B Rupesh, district in-charge minister Kota Shrinivas Poojari has accused Mangaluru MLA U T Khader of politicizing the issue. 

The IAS officer was transferred by the Karnataka government on July 28, a day after a saffron activist issued a death threat against her on social media after she warned of legal action against the miscreants who attack cattle traders.

Condemning the development, Mr Khader had tweeted that the state government has punished the deputy commissioner instead of punishing the culprit, who issued death threat.

Responding to Mr Khader’s tweet, Mr Poojari said that the transfer of the officer was on administrative ground. “It is unfortunate that Khader politicized a transfer carried out by the government on administrative ground. This is not Khader’s time to protect any accused,” tweeted Mr Poojari. 

It is worth mentioning here that Mr Khader was the district in-charge minister of Dakshina Kannada before Mr Poojari taking over the position. 

Meanwhile, police has arrested a person in connection with the death threat against the IAS officer.
