Bengaluru: Disturbances during Sharath's funeral - HC stays FIR against leaders


Daijiworld Media Network - Bengaluru (SP)

Bengaluru, Aug 19: The state high court, on Friday August 18, granted interim stay against further legal proceedings connected with first information report (FIR) filed against Hindu leaders in connection with disturbances which occurred during the funeral procession of slain Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh activist, Sharath Madiwala. The leaders were facing charge of instigating the concerned to indulge in stone pelting among others.

BJP backward classes leader, Satyajit Suratkal, Bajrang Dal district Yuvamorcha president, Harish Punja, Sharan Pumpwell, Muralikrishna Hasantadka Kumar, who have been named in the said FIR, had approached the high court seeking quashing of the FIR. The court had called for objections from the state and also gone through the video clips of the procession provided by the police after calling for the same.

When the petition came up for hearing before a single judge bench presided over by Justice Aravind Kumar on Friday, the judge noted that the FIR registered against the leaders do not contain allegations of offences of serious nature and that the police have charged them of inciting the crowd to pelt stones. The bench directed the advocate for the government to submit all the documents pertaining to the case to the court. It issued interim stay against further proceedings in the case till the next hearing. The hearing stands adjourned to August 22.

    After reading the single judge decision on this case related to communal unrest, the need of the hour to sing 'national anthem' is not very much required which curbs freedom of citizens on moving goers but very much required for High court and Supreme courts of India.
    It doesn't need lethal weapons to attack someone but words of inciting is enough to mobilize the crowd to take law into their hands.It seem Justice Kumar is very close to making the 'lynching' official.

    I think judges in India do need regular oath taking rather than accused swearing on the holy books.One of the worst decision from the respected court.

    As expected like what happened in kalladka bhattas case. Vomitting communal enimity or voilating 144 section if done by muslims or christains then its offence under may be national security act ect. But No rule book for maximum members of chaddi offenders. We can notice some of the legal govt executives are acting in favour of chaddi central regime just because bjp party if re elected may cause their carrier interruption about promotions ect. Just see how some of the court judges arguing about muslim personal law or inter caste marriage of muslim boys or food habits.
