Hindustan Times  

New Delhi The Supreme Court on Tuesday issued notice to the Karnataka government and state police on a plea filed by slain journalist Gauri Lankesh’s sister challenging the dropping of charge under the Karnataka Control of Organized Crime Act 2000 against one of the accused. HT Image Kavitha Lankesh, working as a filmmaker, had approached the court for staying the Karnataka HC order of April 22, 2021 which had quashed the charges under KCOCA against accused Mohan Nayak who is one of the accused facing trial in Gauri Lankesh murder. A three-judge bench of the top court headed by Justice AM Khanwilkar issued notice on the petition and observed that the Karnataka high court shall pass bail order without being influenced by the April 22 order under challenge.
