HC stays women commission’s notice against HDK over ‘women going astray remark’
Bengaluru: The Karnataka High Court on Friday stayed a notice issued by the State Commission for Women against former Chief Minister and JD(S) state President HD Kumaraswamy over allegations of insulting women.
A bench headed by Justice M.Nagaprasanna hearing the petition filed by Kumaraswamy stayed the notice issued by the State Commission for Women, and also issued a notice to the Chairperson, Dr. Nagalakshmi Chaudhary, and the Commission.
Justice M Nagaprasanna pointed out that no notice or summons, as permitted by the Karnataka State Commission for Women Act, was given to Kumaraswamy. “A clarification is sought which, on the surface, appears to be beyond its authority,” added.
During the hearing of the application, the lawyer arguing on behalf of HD Kumaraswamy, said that despite the JD(S) leader giving a clarification on his statement on April 15, the Commission issued a notice seeking further clarification.

In his plea, Kumaraswamy also alleged the Chairperson of the Commission being biased and acting to gain the goodwill of her political masters and the order was issued in contrary to the Section 7(3) of the Karnataka State Commission for Women Act, which states that all the orders and decisions issued by the Commission shall be authenticated by the Secretary or any other duly authorised officer of the Commission.
Furthermore, Kumaraswamy has also urged the HC to quash the summons and notice issued by the State Women’s Commission.
The JD(S) leader while campaigning in Tumkur's, Turuvekere for the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) candidate, V Somanna, is alleged to have said that the rural women were being led astray due to Congress government’s guarantee schemes, which triggered a row.
