Sri. Harisha Halli v. the State of Karnataka
Case brief
What is this about?
In this PIL, the petitioner sought directions to file charge sheets and take action against a Chief Minister. The Court found that the Supreme Court is already seized of the matter under SLP (C) No. 743/2012, which directs no final report be filed. Consequently, the High Court declined to issue any directions as it cannot act against the apex court's order.
