Sanatan Sanstha demands legal action against KKSV

July 5, 2012

Mangalore, July 5: Dakshina Kannada district unit of 'Sanatan Sanstha' has urged the authorities to take legal action against Karnataka Komu Souharda Vedike (KKSV) for terming the former as anti-national and terrorist organisation.

In a press release issued here on Thursday, the Sanstha stated that all the allegations made by the KKSV against the organisation are baseless and far from truth.

The Sanstha has been presenting spirituality in a scientific language for the curious and to guide seekers for past two decades across the world, it said.

Justifying its recent programme on 'Hindu Rashtra' in one of the prestigious colleges of the city, the release said that according to Sanstha 'Hindu Rashtra' is not only confined to Hindus but it also includes people of other faiths.

Stating that a Hindu is he who gives up his bad character and adopts good character, the release said that a Muslim or a Christian too can become a Hindu by giving up his bad character and cultivating good character.

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.
