Karnataka HC orders recovery of Rs 5 lakh grant from Madrasa over 'fake' documents
Bengaluru (PTI): The Karnataka High Court has directed the state government to recover a Rs 5 lakh grant given to a Madrasa run by Samara International Islamic School in Thanisandra here, following the revocation of the school’s recognition by the School Education Department.
The court emphasised that all related matters must be addressed in accordance with the law.
Hearing a related petition, a division bench instructed the Principal Secretary of the Minority Welfare Department to verify the funds allocated to the Madrasa and take appropriate action.
The School Education Department had cancelled the school’s recognition over the creation of 'fake' documents.
Consequently, the court ordered the recovery of the Rs 5 lakh disbursed by the Minority Welfare Department to the Madrasa and called for a legal probe into other related matters, along with necessary remedial measures.

Vijay unable to prove majority, not invited for CM oath ceremony: Sources
Chennai: Actor-politician Vijay has reportedly not been invited to take oath as Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu after failing to demonstrate support from the required number of MLAs, sources in Raj Bhavan said.
According to media reports that quoted sources in the office of R.N. Ravi Arlekar, Vijay could not prove the backing of 118 legislators, the majority mark in the 234-member Tamil Nadu Assembly.
Despite last-minute efforts to secure support from the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK), Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazagam (AMMK), and an IUML legislator, Vijay reportedly managed support from only 116 MLAs, falling short by two members.
Sources said Vijay failed to submit letters of support from the VCK and the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML).
Later, the IUML issued a statement clarifying that it was not part of the TVK-led alliance.
Meanwhile, AMMK leader T.T.V. Dhinakaran is also said to have informed the Governor that his party would support the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) instead.
Earlier in the evening, Vijay had met Governor Arlekar and staked claim to form the government, stating that he enjoyed the support of 118 MLAs.
