HC Judge’s controversial “women of Surapura go to the leader on first night,” remark sparks row
Bengaluru: A controversial statement made by Karnataka High Court Judge, Justice V. Srishananda during judicial proceedings has gone viral across social media platforms. The Judge’s remarks have sparked widespread outrage from different quarters.
In the purported video doing rounds on social media, the judge allegedly stated that, "Anyone can get married. However, the practice of staying with the leader only on the first night still exists in Surapura taluk of Yadgir district, they are then second hand."
The Maharishi Valmiki Nayaka Sangha and the Union of Mass Organizations called for a bandh on January 13 to express their disapproval. A formal petition demanding action against the judge has been submitted to the President, the Chief Justice of India, and the Karnataka Governor through the Yadgir Deputy Commissioner.
This is not the first time the judge has sparked controversy with his remarks. In September 2024, Justice V. Srishananda referred to Goripalya in Bengaluru as ‘Pakistan.’ He had allegedly stated, “The police are afraid to take action against the criminals of Goripalya in Bengaluru, because it is in Pakistan.”
In addition, another video of the judge allegedly speaking in an indecent manner with a woman lawyer had also gone viral, prompting a suo-motu cognizance by the Supreme Court. The apex court had directed the Karnataka High Court Registrar to submit a report within two weeks, after which Justice Srishananda reportedly expressed regret for his remarks.
