Bengaluru: The Karnataka High Court yesterday ordered notice to the State Government and Kannada Chaluvali Vatal Paksha leader and ex-MLA Vatal Nagaraj in response to a PIL challenging the bandhs called on Jan.25 and Feb.4.
A Division Bench, headed by Acting Chief Justice H.G. Ramesh and Justice P.S. Dinesh Kumar, has posted the petition filed by Shraddha Parents Association, Bengaluru, to Feb.2 so as to await the response from the respondents. The petition was filed on Jan.25 itself when the first bandh took place. The Counsel for the petitioner, while citing media reports, claimed that in the last one year or so more than a dozen of bandhs have taken place seriously affecting the public at large.
