Karnataka HC notice on RCB plea against tribunal's remarks in stampede case
The bench of justices SG Pandit and TM Nadaf said it will next hear the matter on July 17.
RCB's petition asked the high court to set aside portions of CAT's July 1 order that include the negative comments made against the IPL franchise, while quashing the suspension of one of the five Karnataka police officers suspended by the government after the stampede.
RCB said the CAT wrongly held the franchise responsible for the stampede without giving it a chance to be heard. 'The observations are factually and legally flawed, premature, and could negatively impact other ongoing proceedings involving RCB,' the plea said.
The June 4 stampede outside the Chinnaswamy Stadium during the victory celebrations of Royal Challengers Bengaluru's (RCB) maiden IPL trophy-winning campaign left 11 people dead, drawing sharp criticism over planning and crowd management. The state government ordered the suspension of Indian Police Service (IPS) officer Vikash Kumar Vikash and four other officers of the Bengaluru Police a day after the incident.

Vikash challenged his suspension before the tribunal, claiming he was not responsible for the tragedy and that the police had no prior notice of the IPL victory parade, which triggered the stampede.
Setting aside Vikash's suspension, CAT observed that RCB appeared 'prima facie responsible' for the chaos. It said that RCB and its event partner, DNA Entertainment Networks, did not obtain the state's permissions and failed to formally seek police approval or coordinate with authorities before announcing the event on Instagram.

RCB has argued that it was not made a party to the CAT proceedings and was not given an opportunity to defend itself. The observations, RCB contended, violate principles of natural justice.

UT's heritage furniture to go under the hammer in US
Chandigarh: Chandigarh heritage furniture will go under the hammer in Los Angeles, USA, on July 17. Three furniture items designed by Pierre Jeanneret, including a desk and chair, file rack, and nightstands from the MLA Flats building, have been offered at a price of around Rs 30 lakh. Ajay Jagga, advocate and member of the Heritage Item Protection Cell, UT, in a letter to Dr K Srikar Reddy, Consul General, Indian Embassy, San Francisco, has sought "protection of the city's heritage, in accordance with the rules/protocol, for which an alarm must be raised. We must seek to understand how these items reached the auction house in the USA, where the original documents are, where the bills are, and where the proof of transportation from India to the USA is. The Indian Embassy in SF must at least raise an alarm to save the heritage. The MHA banned the movement of these articles from Chandigarh in 2011, and as such, these all appear to have been smuggled out of India."
