Bengaluru, Mar 16: Karnataka BJP chief and former chief minister B S Yeddyurappa has moved the High Court seeking a direction to restrain the media and Congress leaders from making statements against him in connection with the criminal cases already closed and those pending against him.

Justice G Narendar, before whom the petition came up for hearing on Thursday, ordered issuance of notices to the Press Council of India and the body of private television news broadcasters while refusing to pass any interim order at this stage.

Meanwhile, the court orally observed that the questions raised in the petition are a larger issue and hence directed the PCI and the body of private news broadcasters to be made as respondents in the petition.

Yeddyurappa has moved the High Court after a Bengaluru sessions court last month declined to issue an ex parte temporary injunction against 22 print and electronic media houses and seven Congress leaders on his suit, which is pending consideration before the civil court.

It has been pointed out in Yeddyurappa’s petition that the Congress leaders are issuing “defamatory” statements against him on the cases related to alleged corruption in which he has been acquitted of all the charges or the cases have been quashed by courts.

Also, it has been claimed in the petition that the Congress leaders are making remarks against him based on certain other cases, which are sub judice, and such remarks amount to interference in the process of administration of justice.

Siddaramaiah, Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee president G. Parameshwara, KPCC working president Dinesh Gundu Rao, Water Resources Minister M.B. Patil, MLCs C.M. Ibrahim and V.S. Ugrappa, and Congress spokesperson Brijesh Kalappa have been made respondents in the petition along with 22 media houses.

Tumakuru, Feb 5: Former Lokayukta Justice N Santhosh Hegde has questioned the integrity of the B S Yediyurappa led BJP government as it has not taken an action to abolish the Anti Corruption Bureau (ACB) to re-establish the Lokayukta in Karnataka.

Speaking after felicitating the retired scientist of NASA Gopal Iyengar at the Karnataka Public School at Kadaba in Gubbi taluk he reminded that the BJP had promised to establish the Lokayukta.

"No party will like to strengthen the Lokayukta and now BSY is also tightlipped and even put an end by appreciating that ACB has been doing a good job", he regretted.

In fact, the Lokayakuta had the power to prosecute even the top brass of officials and now the ACB cannot without the government's permission, he clarified.

He denied any remarks on the CAA and NRC but observed that the youths of the country have been misguided by the politicians as they lost their focus on education by involving in protest rallies.

"I suggest they to straight away take a political plunge instead of getting misused at the hands of the politicians with selfish motives", he said.
