HC rejects Congress candidate Vinay Kulkarni's plea to allow him to enter his constituency
Dharwad: Vinay Kulkarni, the Congress candidate from the Dharwad assembly constituency in Karnataka, had his petition seeking permission to campaign in the Dharwad district for 30 days dismissed by the High Court on Friday.
Kulkarni is the 15th accused in the murder case of Zilla Panchayath member Yogeesh Gowda, and the Supreme Court had imposed four conditions while granting him bail, one of which was that he could not enter Dharwad district without court permission.
His plea was earlier rejected by the Special Court of People's Representatives seeking permission to stay in the district for 50 days for election campaigning.
Kulkarni's inability to enter Dharwad district without court permission is likely to impact his election campaign as the constituency falls under the same district. The decision has also caused a stir among political circles in the area.
