Bengaluru: Senior Journalists, Publishers of Kannada Periodicals Ravi Belagere and Anil Raj have filed a writ petition before Karnataka High Court on Tuesday urging the court to stay the order passed by Karnataka Legislative Assembly speaker KB Koliwad recently. The speaker announced one year imprisonment and a fine of Rs 10,000 against the duo after recommendations of a legislative committee which found the duo published derogatory content against two assembly members in their respective periodicals.
In his writ petition Ravi Belagere said, the assembly doesn’t has the authority to punish him and the move of the assembly is unconstitutional. Also, the committee didn’t record two journalists’ opinion before announcing one year jail term and fine of Rs 10,000. Advocate representing Ravi Belagere filed the writ in his absence today. Ravi Belagere reportedly admitted to KIMS Hospital in Dharwad following severe health issues.
