The Mysuru Development Authority (MDA) carried out an eviction drive in Basavanahalli village near Outer Ring Road in the city early on Monday to reclaim 8.28 acre of land. Amid heavy police security, the MDA personnel deployed earthmovers to clear the 4.36 acre of land on survey number 108 and 3.32 acre on survey number 109 in Basavanahalli village of Mysuru taluk that had been acquired for developing Vijaynagar 4th Stage. The MDA reclaimed the land despite resistance by land owners.

The award money of ₹4,55,506 finalised on August 6, 1994, had been deposited in the court on March 5, 2002.

Madras High Court orders criminal, disciplinary, and contempt proceedings against lawyer for abusing, threatening judges
The Madras High Court has directed the Arakkonam police in Ranipet district, Tamil Nadu, to initiate criminal action against an advocate for having prevented the police from from executing a non-bailable arrest warrant (NBW) issued by the court against his clients and producing them before the court. Justice P.T. Asha also referred the issue to a Division Bench for initiating suo motu criminal contempt of court proceedings against the advocate, R. Balasubramanian, as he had obstructed the administration of justice by preventing the police from executing a warrant issued by the court. Further, the judge directed the Bar Council of Tamil Nadu and Puducherry (BCTNP) to initiate appropriate action against the advocate by taking note of his deplorable conduct, which included abuses and curses hurled at the judges of the High Court as well as a district munsif, both orally and in writing. The entire dispute began with a petition filed jointly by three individuals, S. Krishnaveni, M. Markandan and E. Subramani of Arakkonam, for transferring a civil suit, related to a property dispute pending before the Sholinghur district munsif court in Ranipet district, to any civil court in Chennai. On perusing an affidavit filed in support of the transfer petition, Justice Asha found that it contained scandalous and defamatory remarks against the judges of the High Court and the district munsif. Further, the transfer petitioners had described the counsel for the opponent as a 'fraud and rogue'. When the judge wondered how such an affidavit could be filed in court, Mr. Balasubramanian, with 47 years of practice at the Bar, turned vituperative and raised his voice to bully the court. Thereafter, the judge initiated suo motu contempt against the three petitioners and directed them to appear before the court. Since they did not appear on June 4, 2025, the judge issued an NBW with a direction to the police to produce them in the court on June 18, 2025. Additional Public Prosecutor S. Sugendran informed the court that though the contemnors had been brought to the court premises, their lawyer was not letting them step into the court building. The APP said the lawyer had taken away the petitioners' Aadhaar cards to prevent the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) from checking their identity before letting them into the court building. Then, Mr. Balasubramanian entered the court hall and intimidated Justice Asha. He told the judge he would lodge a complaint against her with the Chief Justice and insisted that she should recuse herself from the case. He also used unparliamentary words in the court hall and threatened the judge that he would destroy her if she takes any kind of action against him. Observing that his conduct clearly amounts to criminal contempt, Justice Asha referred the issue to a Division Bench holding the criminal contempt portfolio. Subsequently, when the three petitioners were produced before the court on June 20, 2025, the judge recorded their statements. All the three petitioners told the court they had not instructed Mr. Balasubramanian to file any transfer petition and they had merely affixed their thumb impressions and signatures on the affidavit written in English without even understanding what exactly was written on it. They were interested only in their property. 'From the above, it is clear that the contents of the affidavit are also a script prepared by the counsel which makes it all the more shocking to this court, considering the language that has been used not only against the judicial officer but also against the judges of this court,' Justice Asha said. Expressing dismay over a member of the noble profession of law having brought discredit to it by his conduct, the judge directed the High Court Registry to forward her order, along with the CCTV footage of the lawyer's conduct inside the court hall, to the BCTNP for necessary action. However, since the three petitioners had no knowledge about the contents of the affidavit and they had also tendered an unconditional apology before the court, the judge purged them from the contempt proceedings.

SC declines urgent listing for clarification plea by Bhima Koregaon accused Hany Babu
New Delhi, June 23 (UNI) The Supreme Court on Monday refused to grant an urgent hearing to a plea filed by former Delhi University professor Hany Babu, an accused in the Bhima Koregaon case, seeking a clarification that he could approach the High Court for bail after withdrawing his earlier plea in the top court. A vacation bench comprising justices KV Viswanathan and NK Singh directed that the matter be listed after the court reopens following the summer break, and declined to entertain the application during the limited working days of the vacation. During the mentioning, the counsel for Babu argued that several co-accused in the case had been granted bail by the Supreme Court either on merits or due to prolonged incarceration. The application was filed seeking a clarification following a May 2 observation by the Bombay High Court, which stated that Babu should seek clarity from the Supreme Court about his liberty to approach the High Court for bail after withdrawing his special leave petition. Justice Viswanathan questioned the delay in filing the application. 'The order was passed on May 2. The court was fully functional till May 23. Why was the application not moved earlier?' he asked. In response, the counsel submitted that obtaining certified copies of the court's orders took time. However, Justice Viswanathan remarked, 'Even in urgent matters, we have filed and got cases listed without certified copies.' Babu was arrested by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in July 2020 under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) for alleged Maoist links in connection with the Bhima Koregaon violence. His bail plea was rejected by the Bombay High Court in September 2022. In May 2024, he withdrew his bail petition from the Supreme Court stating a change in circumstances, intending to move the High Court afresh. However, the High Court noted that the Supreme Court's order did not explicitly grant him liberty to re-approach the lower court, prompting the present application for clarification. The Supreme Court's refusal to list the matter urgently means the issue will now be heard only after the court's summer recess concludes. UNI SNG PRS
