Karnataka High Court again rejects plea of Naresh Shenoy to participate in Venkataramana temple
Shenoy is key accused in RTI activist Vinayaka Baliga's murder case
Mangaluru: The Karnataka High Court rejected the application filed by Naresh Shenoy, one of the accused in the Vinayaka Baliga murder case, to participate in the activities and transactions of Sri Venkataramana temple on Car Street.
Key accused in the RTI activist Vinayaka Baliga murder case, business tycoon Naresh Shenoy was barred from participating activities and transactions of Sri Venkataramana temple and Kashi Mutt, by Karnataka High Court while granting conditional bail to Shenoy on September 15, 2016.
A similar plea was also rejected by the same court in October 2016, but had cleared that Shenoy will be allowed to pray in the temple as a devotee, but cannot involve himself in the administrative activities and transactions of the temple, until the case proceedings is completed.
“It is clear that there is no prohibition on him by the order under question from offering prayer as a devotee in the temple and mutt. He is only conditioned from keeping himself away from the activities and affairs of the committees attached to the temple” Justice Rathnakala had observed while rejecting his petition in October 2016.
“Unless the verdict is out in the case Shenoy should keep himself away from all activities and transactions of the temple. He should also restraint himself from participating in the transactions and activities of all committees attached to the temple” the HC maintained on Saturday.
