Governor Urged to Act on Minister's Contempt Case

Karnataka Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot has been requested by activist T J Abraham to initiate contempt of court proceedings against state Minister B Z Zameer Ahmed Khan. The complaint alleges that Khan termed a High Court order as a political judgment, prompting the Governor to involve the Advocate General.

Karnataka Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot has been drawn into a legal controversy following a contentious appeal by activist T J Abraham. Abraham has urged the Governor to direct the Advocate General to consider launching contempt of court proceedings against state Minister B Z Zameer Ahmed Khan.

The allegations center around comments purportedly made by Minister Khan, in which he allegedly described a High Court order permitting an investigation against senior politician Siddaramaiah in the MUDA case as a 'political judgment.'

A Raj Bhavan official confirmed to PTI that the Governor has forwarded Abraham's letter to the Advocate General for necessary legal review and action.
