Karnataka High Court rules application before State Administrative Tribunal can be filed in Kannada

The Karnataka High Court has held that an application before the State Administrative Tribunal can be filed in Kannada, after interpreting the expression 'proceedings' under Rule 3 of the Karnataka Administrative Tribunal (Procedure) Rules, 1986 read with Rule 9(iii) of the KAT Rules of Practice, 1990. A Division Bench of Justices Ashok S. Kinagi and Subramanya Rangarao set aside the Tribunal's order rejecting an application filed in Kannada. The court noted that Rule 3 provides that the language of the Tribunal shall be English, but parties may file a document drawn up in Kannada if they desire, and the Tribunal may permit the use of Kannada in proceedings, while the final order shall be in English. It also noted that Rule 9(iii) permits documents, affidavits and pleadings to be filed in English or Kannada. The petitioner had challenged an additional selection list published on the official website, but the Tribunal returned the application because it was in Kannada and not English. The High Court quashed the impugned order and directed the Tribunal to dispose of the petitioner's application.

Supreme Court dismisses K N Nehru plea challenging Madras High Court order to register FIR in ₹634-crore cash-for-jobs scam

The Supreme Court on Monday dismissed a petition by former Tamil Nadu minister and DMK leader K N Nehru challenging a Madras High Court direction to register an FIR against him in an alleged ₹634-crore cash-for-jobs scam, PTI reported. A bench of Justices Dipankar Datta and Sheel Nagu said there was no ground to interfere with the high court's February 20 judgment and October 26 order. The high court had dismissed Nehru's review petition against its earlier order directing the DVAC to register a case based on information provided by the Enforcement Directorate. It also disposed of the state government's review petition after it was withdrawn. The allegations relate to the period when Nehru headed Tamil Nadu's Municipal Administration and Water Supply Department during the DMK government's 2021-26 tenure. The high court said its direction was limited to registration of a case and an investigation and did not decide anyone's guilt; observations recorded the Enforcement Directorate's case and were not the court's conclusions. It said whether the material would stand scrutiny and whether Nehru or his relatives had any role were matters for the investigation and, later, a criminal court. The high court also noted the order was reserved on February 4, 2026, and pronounced on February 20, and said Nehru could have filed an application during those 16 days after receiving notice but did not. It said the review applicant would have his say once the investigation reached him. The Supreme Court declined to intervene, leaving in place the high court's direction for registration of the case and investigation.

Supreme Court closes monitoring of Ram temple donation theft probe, allows petitioners to assist trial

The Supreme Court closed its monitoring of the alleged theft of donations at the Ram temple in Ayodhya after the Uttar Pradesh government informed it that a charge sheet had been filed against eight accused. A bench comprising Chief Justice of India Surya Kant and justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana directed the judicial magistrate concerned to proceed in accordance with law and said its order expressed no opinion on the merits of the allegations. The bench granted the petitioner liberty to assist the judicial magistrate, citing public interest, and disposed of the writ petition and connected matters. Solicitor general Tushar Mehta, appearing for the Uttar Pradesh government, said the investigation was complete and the charge sheet, running into more than 60,000 pages, was filed before the anti-corruption court in Ayodhya in September. The court also heard a fresh petition by the Ram Janmabhoomi Case Trust seeking directions related to the 2019 judgment, including an independent survey and verification of the adjudicated land, and told the trust it could approach a civil court. In July, the Supreme Court constituted a second special investigation team headed by Lucknow range inspector general of police Kiran S to investigate allegations of pilferage of donations and irregularities in handling valuables at the temple.
