Karnataka High Court Seeks Information Regarding Withdrawal Of Cases Against MPs/MLAs

Live Law  

The Karnataka High Court on Wednesday directed its Registrar General to seek information regarding the number of cases withdrawn against legislators, pending or disposed off post September 16, 2020. In the meantime the Registrar General of this court shall seek information regarding the number of cases pertaining to MP, MLA and MLC, in the special session court as well as special magistrate courts, with regard to the withdrawal of cases by the state government, pending or disposed after 16/09/2020." The direction was given during the hearing of a suo-motu petition initiated by the court in view of the directions issued by the Supreme Court asking the Chief Justices of the High Courts to formulate an action plan to rationalize the disposal of criminal cases pending against legislators. Amicus Curiae Senior Advocate Aditya Sondhi brought to the notice of the court the direction issued by the Supreme Court dated August 10, wherein it directed the high courts to examine the validity of withdrawals of prosecution against the legislators, passed after September 16, 2020.
