When asked whether he would contest in the polls, Mr. Upendra said he was one among the aspirants for party ticket and like others, he had to pass through the selection process. “A list of candidates would be announced in the next 15 to 20 days, as over 20 people have already approached the party and their applications are being processed,” he said.

On whether UPP would support actor Prakash Raj, who is contesting from Bengaluru Central constituency as an Independent candidate, Mr. Upendra said: “Norms of selection is applicable to all. If he comes out with a good manifesto, UPP will support him.”

Mr. Upendra said: “People are asking us what our understanding of politics and democracy is. Our answer is ‘we don’t know anything; we don’t do anything except what you say’. We approach the people on this basic premise.”

He said that UPP would not support any political party after getting elected and will protect its identity. In case the “democracy faces threat”, the party might think of extending external support, he added.

SC directs trial court to ensure presence of absconding Nithyananda in rape case

News Network

March 4,2020

New Delhi, Mar 4: The Supreme Court on Wednesday directed a trial court in Ramanagara district of Karnataka to ensure the presence of absconding self-styled godman Swami Nithyananda to face trial in a 2010 rape case.

A bench headed by Chief Justice SA Bobde also allowed a plea by K Lenin alias Nithya Dharmananda, former driver of Nithyananda and had filed a complaint against Nithyananda, for cancellation of non-bailable warrants issued against him.

The apex court ordered the cancellation of the non-bailable warrants issued against the complainant in the case on the condition he shows up before the trial court in Ramanagara district today itself.

He had challenged the Karnataka High Court's February order where non-bailable warrants were issued against Lenin for not appearing before the court for recording evidence.

"Having heard the counsel appearing for the petitioner and upon perusal of the record, we see no reason to interfere with the judgment and order passed by the High Court, which merely directs the petitioner to give evidence in support of his complaint," read the apex court order passed on Tuesday.

The Bench also directed that "the concerned trial court shall make every effort to ensure the presence of accused (Nithyananda) to face the proceedings."

The Karnataka High Court had last month cancelled the bail granted to Nithyananda, even as the state police claimed the absconding godman was on a 'spiritual tour'.

Nithyananda is facing charges of rape and indulging in unnatural sex. He was arrested on April 22, 2010, however, granted bail on June 11, the same year.
