Bengaluru: The High Court on Tuesday refused to grant a stay on the controversial issue of celebrating the Tipu Jayanthi by the state government.

The division bench of Acting Chief Justice HG Ramesh and Justice PS Dinesh Kumar refused to stay the celebrations in the state, especially in Dakshina Kannada, Udupi and Kodagu districts.

Last Friday, the court had sought to know whether the expenditure to be incurred on Tipu Jayanti celebrations to be held across the state on November 10 had the “authority” of the state budget, reported PTI.

Manjunath from Virajpet had filed a public interest litigation seeking a stay on the celebration of Tipu Jayanti in Udupi and Kodagu district, claiming that it would lead to law and order problem.
