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.

CSK sign Urvil Patel as injury replacement for Vansh Bedi
CHENNAI, May 5 (PTI): Chennai Super Kings have signed Gujarat wicketkeeper-batter Urvil Patel as a replacement for Vansh Bedi, who has been ruled out of the remainder of the IPL due to a ligament tear in his left ankle.
Patel made headlines in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy when he smashed a 28-ball century -- the joint-fastest T20 hundred by an Indian -- against Tripura.
The 26-year-old has featured in 47 T20 matches, scoring 1,162 runs. He was previously part of the Gujarat Titans squad in the 2023 season.
Patel joins CSK at his base price of Rs 30 lakh.
With just two wins from 11 outings, CSK have been eliminated from the playoff race. They are scheduled to face Kolkata Knight Riders, Rajasthan Royals and Gujarat Titans in their remaining fixtures.
Say Yellove to Urvil Patel! 💪🏻💛
