On 24th September, a bench of Karnataka High Court consisting of Justice Srinivas Harish Kumar deliberately refused the quashing of criminal case which was registered for violation Covid- 19 protocol against a Church Priest in Mysuru.
The allegation was that a very large crowd was attracted outside the church at the priest's action of performing the last rites during covid lock down. The counsel for the petitioner submitted that the deceased tested covid negative before death and there was no public gathering. It was also submitted that the corporation officials were present when the rituals were conducted.
However, the court denied accepting the arguments of the petitioner as the prohibitory orders issued by the Government appear to be violated. The bench also after observing that the photograph clearly showed that there was a large gathering could not agree that the covid protocol have been violated. Thus the petition was dismissed.
