Road Controversy: St Aloysius College management sends notice to MCC and VBWO
Mangaluru, May.8: St Aloysius college management has issued notice to Mangaluru city corporation and Vijaya Bank workers' organisation over road controversy.
In 2017 Corporation had decided to rename St Aloysius road from Catholic club at Hampankatta to Dr B R Ambedkar circle (Jyothi circle) after founder of Vijay bank Mulky Sundararama Shetty road.
In its statement St Aloysious management has stated that the said road naming issue is pending before the High Court of Karnataka. The Writ petition filed by the Vijaya Bank Workers’ Organization had been dismissed by the High Court of Karnataka. Later, when a Writ appeal was filed, the High Court of Karnataka, while admitting the appeal, has Ordered that during the pendency of Writ appeal, status-quo as regards the name of the road as on May, 24, 2017 shall continue. Interpreting this as the final Order of the Court is highly misleading and motivated. No organization can erect any name board, organize any inauguration function, etc during the pendency of the appeal.
St Aloysius College has filed an appeal to accept it as an impleader in the case. It has also said that Mangalore City Corporation cannot grant permission for any such move.
The management also condemened the behaviour of some politicians for making irresponsible statements even when the matter is being sub-judice.
It has said that when the issue is pending for hearing in the High Court, any political statement or any provocative statement with an eye on election amounts to contempt of Court. St Aloysius management will bring all such public statements to the attention of the High Court for necessary action.
