Petition against Chief Justice

BANGALORE: The Registrar of the City Civil and Sessions Court on Thursday posted to August 9 for complying with office objections a petition by a Bangalore-based advocate seeking damages of Rs. 10 from Chief Justice of the Karnataka High Court Cyriac Joseph for making derogatory statements against advocates.

The plaintiff, M.K. Vijay Kumar, who is also president of the Kannada Rakshana Vakeelara Vedike, said the recent statements made by the Chief Justice at public functions in Chikmagalur, Mysore and Udupi were uncalled for and unwarranted. — Staff Reporter
