​Karnataka HC quashes case against Nadda, says 'reckless registration of crime' based on absurd allegations

India TV News  

The Karnataka High Court has quashed the criminal proceedings in a case against BJP national president JP Nadda in connection with an election speech ahead of the Assembly polls in May, and called it a “reckless registration of crime." A complaint was lodged by an election officer at the Harapanahalli police station on May 9 under Section 171F, alleging that Nadda threatened voters at a public meeting by stating that they would lose the benefit of central schemes if the BJP was not voted. “If on the aforesaid facts further investigation is permitted to continue against the petitioner it would become a classic case of permitting investigation in a reckless registration of crime which on the face of it, would become an abuse of the process of law.” Citing a Supreme Court judgement in a case, the HC said that three of the seven postulates laid down by the Apex Court in it were applicable in the current case. The seventh postulate is where a criminal proceeding is manifestly attended with mala fides or is maliciously instituted with a view to spite the accused, such proceedings should be quashed,” the HC quoted the three postulates and said these were “completely applicable to the facts of the case at hand.” ALSO READ | No stone was left unturned to make Bengal backward state under Congress, TMC rules: Nadda
