Karnataka HC Orders Peace Panel Meeting on Chittapur Marches, Keeps Nov. 2 Open

The court pressed for a quick, consultative review of law-and-order risks before any permissions are granted.

Overview

  • District authorities must meet all organisers on October 28 and file a report for a hearing on October 30.
  • The state cited a tense local climate and said social media posts have vitiated the environment in Chittapur.
  • The Deputy Commissioner's report suggested postponement and recommended that no foot marches be allowed for now.
  • The Advocate General said the RSS application remains pending rather than rejected and will be decided after consultations.
  • RSS counsel opposed any delay, asserted a fundamental right to march on November 2, and sought protection including central forces if required.
