Supreme Court Advocates for Childcare and Feeding Rooms in Public Spaces The Supreme Court of India has suggested that the Union Government develop a comprehensive policy addressing the construction of feeding rooms and childcare facilities  in public places. This move aims to ensure that nursing mothers and their children can access basic amenities in a dignified and private manner, reinforcing their fundamental rights under the Indian Constitution. SC Encourages Policy Formulation A bench comprising Justice BV Nagarathna  and Justice N Kotiswar Singh  highlighted the absence of a structured framework to address this pressing issue. The court advised the Centre to propose a policy that could then be implemented across the states, scheduling the next hearing for December 10, 2024.   The apex court emphasized that before issuing formal directions, it was crucial to understand the Centre’s perspective on implementing the petitioner’s demand for childcare and feedi...

Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah Challenges Governor’s Prosecution Nod in MUDA Land Scam Case

Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah Challenges Governor’s Prosecution Nod in MUDA Land Scam Case


Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has taken legal action against the prosecution sanction granted by Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot in the alleged Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) land scam. The controversy has sparked significant political debate and mobilized protests.


Legal Challenge: CM Siddaramaiah Moves High Court

On Monday, CM Siddaramaiah filed a writ petition in the Karnataka High Court, challenging the Governor's decision to permit his prosecution. The petition seeks the cancellation of this permission, arguing that it was politically motivated. The case will be heard by Justice Hemant Chandangoudar at 2:30 pm today.


Accusations of Political Vendetta

Congress leader Ramesh Babu has voiced strong opposition to the Governor's actions, labeling them as unconstitutional and driven by political vendetta. In a letter to President Droupadi Murmu, Babu requested her immediate intervention, arguing that the Governor's decision undermines democratic values and appears to be a calculated attempt to destabilize the Karnataka government, which has a strong mandate from the people.


Protests and Allegations

The MUDA land scam came into the spotlight following a complaint by social activist Snehamayi Krishna, who accused Siddaramaiah and nine others of forging documents to claim compensation from MUDA. In response to the Governor's prosecution nod, Karnataka Congress workers staged protests, decrying the move as a misuse of the Governor's office influenced by Central government interests.


The Core of the Controversy

The legal battle revolves around the alleged forgery of documents related to MUDA land compensation claims. The complaint by Snehamayi Krishna has led to intense scrutiny and a political storm, with the opposition accusing the BJP and its allies of leveraging the Governor's office for political gain.


What’s Next?

As the High Court prepares to hear Siddaramaiah's plea, the political tension in Karnataka continues to escalate. The outcome of this legal challenge could have significant implications for the state's political landscape.
