Bar Council of Kerala issues show-cause notice to newly enrolled lawyer
The Bar Council of Kerala (BCK) on Wednesday issued show-cause notice to a young lawyer who was enrolled four days ago, for circulating a short video on social media on his enrolment ceremony which shows an official vehicle of a High Court judge.
In the show-cause notice issued to Mohammed Fayiz from Chavakkad, Thrissur, the BCK secretary said that the video amounted to advertising and soliciting, and demeaning the dignity of the judiciary. The use of the video of the judge's vehicle is ill-motivated and malicious. The BCK is prima facie of the view that the act amounts to misconduct, and that he is liable to be proceeded against under Section 35 of the Advocates Act.

Bengaluru MP Shobha Karandlaje demands 'Allu Arjun-like' arrests over Chinnaswamy stampede
Bengaluru North MP and BJP leader Shobha Karandlaje has launched a scathing attack on the Karnataka government following the tragic stampede near Bengaluru's Chinnaswamy Stadium that left 11 people dead. She questioned the accountability of top state leaders and drew a sharp comparison with actor Allu Arjun's controversial arrest in a similar incident in Telangana.

"In Telangana, the government arrested Allu Arjun from his home following the incident. Why is the Karnataka government not taking similar action here?" she asked. "Should we arrest Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy CM DK Shivakumar for this tragedy?" she added, accusing the state leadership of prioritizing political optics over public safety. She further criticised the government's decision to order an inquiry headed by the Bengaluru Urban District Commissioner, expressing doubts over its impartiality. 'How can a bureaucrat investigate his own political bosses? If the collector finds lapses by Siddaramaiah or DK Shivakumar, will he have the courage to hold them accountable?' Karandlaje asked. She called for an independent investigation, led by retired High Court judges, to ensure transparency and justice. The BJP MP alleged that the Congress-led state government was more focused on "hijacking credit" for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) IPL victory than ensuring crowd safety. 'The administration was desperate to share the spotlight with RCB players. In the process, they ignored basic precautions,' she said. Also Read - Why was RCB marketing head Nikhil Sosale arrested? In the aftermath of the incident, several senior police officials have been suspended, including former Bengaluru Police Commissioner B Dayananda. On Friday, police arrested Nikhil Sosale, the marketing head of RCB, in connection with the chaos outside the stadium on June 4 during the victory celebrations. The Karnataka government is now facing mounting pressure, with critics demanding not just bureaucratic action, but political accountability as well.

HC adjourns bail pleas in TTD ghee case to June 17
VIJAYAWADA: The High Court adjourned to June 17 the hearing on bail pleas filed in connection with the supply of adulterated ghee to Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) case. Several accused, including directors of Bhole Baba Dairy, Vaishnavi Dairy, and the managing director of AR Dairy, have sought bail, with the CBI-led SIT having filed a chargesheet. Advocates CV Mohan Reddy and S Sriram, appearing for the petitioners, argued that the accused have been in judicial custody for four months, and with all evidence collected, there is no risk of tampering. Bhole Baba and Vaishnavi Dairies had no direct role in the dairy supply agreement, they said. However, the CBI counsel contended that Bhole Baba Dairy was central to the scam, and claimed accused intimidated a key witness, accountant Ashish Rohilla, who was allegedly coerced at Tirupati airport and sent back to Delhi.

Karnataka Cricket Body Challenges Stampede Case FIR In High Court
The Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) on Friday approached the High Court for an urgent hearing against the First Information Report (FIR) filed against it in connection with the recent stampede outside Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, during Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB)'s IPL victory celebrations earlier this week. In their writ petition, KSCA president Raghuram Bhat, secretary A. Shankar and treasurer E.S. Jairam sought quashing of the FIR that was registered under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, including culpable homicide not amounting to murder, on Thursday. The High Court is scheduled to hear the matter at 2.30pm. The development came amid police's efforts to trace and arrest Shankar and Jairam, who have gone missing ever since the FIR was registered in the case. Earlier in the day, police said four people, including an RCB official, were arrested but the two KSCA officials were not found in their houses. According to sources, Shankar is a close confidant of Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar. Eleven people were killed and more than 50 were injured in the stampede that broke out when a large number of people thronged to the stadium to participate in the RCB's first ever victory celebrations on Wednesday. More than 60 people were injured in the incident. According to the police, Nikhil Sosale, the head of marketing for RCB, was among those arrested on Friday. He was on his way to Mumbai when he was arrested from Kempegowda International Airport, Bengaluru, at around 6.30am. Nikhil Sosale (extreme right), head of marketing for RCB, was arrested on Friday. Mr Sosale handles all promotional activities of the RCB and is the main link between the players and the franchise. He also handles the team's social media handles. The remaining arrested people are members of event management company DNA Entertainment Private Limited - Sunil Mathew (Vice President, handles IPL events for DNA), Kiran and Sumanth. Police said the arrests were made during an overnight operation carried out by the Central Crime Branch under the leadership of Deputy Commissioner of Police Akshay. The accused are likely to be handed over to the Crime Investigation Department today. On Thursday, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah suspended Bengaluru police commissioner B Dayananda and several other senior police officials in connection with the incident. The state government's action came amidst an all-out attack by the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party, which has demanded the resignations of Siddaramaiah and Mr Shivakumar. Earlier, Mr Shivakumar turned emotional while talking about the tragedy and said that Bengaluru has lost its image due to the incident.
