Petition against temple dismissed

The Hindu  

The Karnataka High Court on Monday dismissed a public interest litigation petition which had complained about caste discrimination in serving food at Kukke Subramanya temple during the annual Shasti festival, after the petitioners chose to withdraw their petition. In another case, the Bench orally observed that the State government and the Karnataka Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Board have abdicated their duties as only 3.2 lakh building workers have been registered for extending benefits to them as per law. Noticing that the law to extend benefits to them came into force in 1996 and that the board was formed for this purpose about six years ago, the Bench said that only 3.2 lakh workers have been registered so far as against an estimated 20 lakh workers. Earlier, counsel for the board submitted that shortage of staff and other duties assigned to the staff are causing delay in registration process, while pointing out that the officers are visiting construction sites twice a week to enrol workers.
