Bengaluru, Nov 10: The Karnataka high court on Friday declined to pass interim orders regarding two petitions challenging the Tipu Jayanti celebrations by the state government.

Declining the request, a division bench headed by Chief Justice Dinesh Maheshwari noted that it cannot pass an inconsistent order vis-à-vis orders passed by the court in 2016 and 2017. In 2016, the court directed the petitioner to approach the government with a representation, holding that the matter was related to policy. On November 7, 2017, a stay on the celebrations was rejected.

The bench also said that the petitioner had not challenged the November 8, 2016, detailed order passed by the state government, based on representations submitted by him, and said it is open to him to challenge the order.

Manjunath K P, a resident of Kodagu district, had challenged the October 24, 2017, circular issued by the director, department of Kannada and culture, to celebrate Tipu Jayanti throughout the state. He had contended that Tipu Sultan was responsible for the sharp decline of the Kodava race and also cited large-scale communal violence during the celebrations in 2015.

Thos who have opposed Karnataka Govt decision to celebrate Tippu Jayanti are as if traitors and they should leave the state. If they have no respect to Govt why are they stayng in the state. Its unfortunate that these anti nationals are opposing the great Warrior only becuase he fought British Rule. These traitors were collaborators and agents of British like Mir Sadiq. Its shame that still we have people like these.

A Tragic End—Mortal Remains of Entrepreneur Mumtaz Ali Found In River

News Network

October 7,2024

Mangaluru, Oct 7: In a heartbreaking turn of events, the search for Mumtaz Ali, chairman of Misbah Group of Educational Institutions, ended with the discovery of his mortal remains in the Phalguni river near Kulur. The somber discovery came after an exhaustive search, leaving a community in shock and sorrow.

He is the younger brother of former MLA Mohuiddin Bawa and former MLC B M Farookh.

The incident has taken a deeply distressing turn with the filing of an FIR against six individuals, including a woman, who are accused of pushing Ali to a tragic end.

The accused allegedly blackmailed Ali, fabricating a story about his involvement in an illicit relationship with the woman. Reports suggest that they extorted Rs 50 lakh from Ali and were unrelenting, demanding an additional Rs 50 lakh from him, casting a shadow over his final days.

The complaint, lodged by Ali’s grieving brother, accuses these individuals of driving him to despair through relentless blackmail and false accusations, ultimately leading him to take the tragic step.

In the early hours of Sunday, Ali left his home at 3 am, heading towards Suratkal, perhaps seeking some solace. A minor accident occurred when his car collided with a private bus near MCF. Despite the mishap, he offered a heartfelt apology to the bus driver and conductor—a gesture that now echoes with the pain of his unspoken struggles. After the collision, Ali made a U-turn near Panambur circle, driving back towards Kulur bridge, where his journey came to a sorrowful end.

Ali’s last moments hold an even deeper sadness, as he left behind a voice message in Byari, naming an individual who had been tormenting him mentally. Sent to his daughter and a close friend, the message revealed the unbearable burden he was carrying, hinting at his final decision to end his suffering.

This tragic loss has left the community and his loved ones grappling with unanswered questions and a profound sense of grief. As the investigation unfolds, the memory of Mumtaz Ali lingers, a reminder of the silent battles that too often go unseen.
