 Today's interim judgement of the three members divisional bench headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi, directing the Karnataka Assembly Speaker to act upon the resignation letters submitted by the 15 dissident Janata Dal-Secular and Indian National Congress(INC) MLAs' within a timeframe has come out as a big blow to the coalition government while providing relief to the disgruntled legislators.

Thanks to today's verdict of the apex court, the dissident legislators cannot be compelled to be present during the discussion of the vote of confidence or attend the proceedings of the current session of the state Assembly.The apex court has ruled out that no action like taking punitive action like disqualification against the 15 MLAs' can be taken, which has also be proved to be a boon to the dissident legislators.

KR Rameshkumar, speaker of the state Assembly has welcomed the interim orders of the Supreme Court and expressed satisfaction over the tremendous confidence reposed on him by the apex court.

He also demanded the resignation of chief minister HD Kumaraswamy, following the judgement of the apex court.However, chief minister HD Kumaraswamy has refused to react over the day's development. He along with HD Revanna, his elder brother and HD Devegowda, the former prime minister and his father offered prayers at the local Sri Sringeri Sharadamba temple in the morning.By the time the family members came out of the temple, the apex court had pronounced its verdict and waiting media persons tried in vain to seek their reactions. None of them yielded to the requests of the media and instead commented: No reaction.

Paul Mamu becomes part of Dharwad's history

People originally from Dharwad and most of whom migrated decades ago elsewhere across the state, country and world in search of green pastures were in for a sudden shock since late evening on Monday. They all shared similar sentiments, fond moments and profound grief in the passing away of Paul Cardoza of the renowned Hotel PAUL’S at Vidyagiri. He was 69 years old and not at all an age for his generation to bid adieu.

He is a well-read, widely travelled religious personality having contributed any number of books and translations of eminent philosophers. He is turning 79 today and looking back there seems to be a huge list of accomplishments worth cherishing on the way. Priest on his own inclination: Dr Godwin Shiri himself voluntarily opted for the priestly vocation of becoming a Pastor at a young age, much against the wishes of his family. The sight of the Cross of Lord Jesus Christ and the scenario of thousands of workers marching holding red flags in his native town Mangaluru had a lasting effect on him as a young boy. Recalling the good old days Godwin Shiri admits-"Perhaps they sowed in me the seeds of compassion and social justice".
