Mangalore, Dec 31: Dakshina Kannada district-in-charge minister B Ramanath Rai directed the district authorities to find alternate methods to increase the storage capacity of the newly constructed second vented dam at Thumbay, as the process of land acquisition around the dam would be delayed.

In a review meeting of the progress of various developmental works in Mangalore City Corporation limits here on Tuesday, he said that the land acquisition process could be delayed as the Land Acquisition Act 2013 would be enforced from January 1. This might delay the construction of the dam, he said.

The Executive Engineer in charge of the Thumbay vented dam work said that the civil work of the vented dam will be completed by May 2014. The delay in sanctioning the remaining fund is delaying the work progress, the engineer said.

He said that the water could be stored only upto four metres in the dam as against the capacity of seven metres, until the land acquisition process was completed in the submerging area.

Deputy Commissioner A B Ibrahim confirmed that the MCC had not yet started the process of land acquisition for the second vented dam and after January 1, it would become nearly impossible.

MLA J R Lobo suggested looking for an alternate method to increase the water storage capacity in the dam, without acquiring the land around it.

The district-in-charge minister instructed the authorities to work on the idea of constructing temporary check dams on rivulets that join the river, so as to ensure that water does not flow in other direction.

Supreme Court raps Karnataka HC judge over ‘Pakistan’ and ‘undergarment’ remarks

New Delhi: The Supreme Court today sought a report from the Karnataka High Court over controversial remarks made by Justice Vedavyasachar Srishananda during a recent court hearing.

Justice Srishananda, while addressing a landlord-tenant dispute, referred to a Muslim-majority area in Bengaluru as "Pakistan" and made a misogynistic comment involving a woman lawyer.

A five-judge bench led by Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud, along with Justices S Khanna, B R Gavai, S Kant, and H Roy, expressed the need for establishing clear guidelines for constitutional court judges regarding their remarks in court.

The Supreme Court bench said that when social media plays an active role in monitoring and amplifying courtroom proceedings, there is an urgency to ensure judicial commentary aligns with the decorum expected from courts of law.

"Our attention has been drawn to some comments made by Karnataka High Court judge Justice V Srishananda during the conduct of judicial proceedings. We have asked the AG and SG to assist us. We ask the registrar general of the High Court to submit a report to this court after seeking administrative directions from the Chief Justice of Karnataka High Court. This exercise may be carried out in 2 weeks," the top court directed.

Videos of Justice Srishanananda have gone viral on social media.

In one video, he refers to a Muslim-dominated locality in Bengaluru as "Pakistan" and on another video he was seen making objectionable comments against a woman lawyer. In the second incident, Justice Srishanananda can be heard telling the woman lawyer that she seemed to know a lot about the "opposition party", so much so that she might be able to reveal the colour of their undergarments.
