19 November 2025,Karnataka High Court in Bengaluru issued an interim stay on the state cabinet’s recent decision to withdraw the 2019 stone-throwing case involving several accused persons. The court observed that such withdrawals must follow proper legal procedure and cannot be based solely on executive direction, prompting a temporary halt until a detailed review is completed.
The order has stirred fresh political debate in Karnataka, with critics arguing that the withdrawal attempt was influenced by political considerations. The High Court has directed the government to submit all relevant documents and justifications for its decision, with the matter expected to come up for further hearing in the coming days.
