Election Code violation : HC quashes case against Janardhana Poojary
Bengaluru: The Karnataka High Court on Friday quashed the trial from the lower court against violation of election code of conduct during the last Lok Sabha election.
Janardhana Poojary has filed a petition before the High Court requesting to quash the case against him. Upholding the petition, the Single Judge Bench led by Justice PS Dinesh Kumar quashed the case registered at Mangaluru North police station and the trial from the 2nd Additional JMFC Court.
Poojary had contested from Mangaluru Lok Sabha constituency in the 2014 LS poll. After filing his nomination papers on March 26, 2014, Poojary held a press conference at the party office and thus violated the election code of conduct, according GV Rajashekar who registered a case at the Mangaluru North police station under Public Representatives Act and under various sections of the IPC.
Based on the complaint, the police filed an FIR and investigated and submitted the charge sheet to the lower court. Hearing the case, the court had issued a summons on October 1, 2015 and asked him to attend the court. In turn, Poojary had filed a petition before the High Court in 2015 appealing to quash the summons issued by the lower court and the case against him. Accepting the case for hearing, the High Court has quashed the election code violation case against Janardhan Poojary.
