New Delhi, February 18
The Supreme Court will on Monday hear Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s petition challenging a Karnataka High Court order dismissing his plea to quash an FIR lodged against him for “blocking roads and causing trouble to commuters” in connection with a 2022 protest march.
The matter is listed before a Bench led by Justice Hrishikesh Roy, which will take it up on February 19.
The Congress leader has challenged the February 6 order of the high court directing him to appear before a special court on March 6. The high court had also imposed a fine of Rs 10,000 on him as well as Congress general secretary and Karnataka in-charge Randeep Singh Surjewala, state ministers MB Patil and Ramalinga Reddy.
