Karnataka High Court Stays FIR and Criticizes Judge's Conduct in Road Rage Case
The Karnataka High Court has stayed the FIR and investigation against three individuals involved in a road rage incident with Principal Civil Judge Gayathri in Malur. The court criticized the judge's conduct, describing it as unbecoming and reflecting arrogance, after reviewing CCTV footage showing a verbal altercation. The judge had directed police to register a case against the individuals, including a 70-year-old family member. The Advocate Association of Bengaluru has called for the judge's suspension, and the court has requested the Chief Justice to consider appropriate action.
