HC imposes ₹6 lakh cost on scribe for abusing process of court, law
The Hindu
It found he was illegally occupying house built by Govt. for oppressed class for 21 years
The High Court of Karnataka has imposed a cost of ₹6 lakh on a journalist for abusing process of the court and misusing law as an instrument of fraud and harassment to seek allotment of a government-built house that he was in illegal occupation from the past 21 years.
“No allotment can be claimed by a person who gains entry to the public property by hooliganism and continue in its occupation, on the mere ground that he belongs to oppressed class of society... This cannot be permitted to continue,” the court observed.
Justice Krishna S. Dixit passed the order while dismissing the petition filed by 42-year-old G.M. Mahadeva, a resident of Mysuru, who claimed himself as the editor and publisher of ‘Rashtrakraanthi’ newspaper, and state president of the Association of Small and Medium Newspapers of India.
