Karnataka Contempt Case: Minister's Controversial Statement

Karnataka Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot has referred a complaint against state Minister B Z Zameer Ahmed Khan to the Advocate General. The complaint by activist T J Abraham alleges Khan committed contempt of court by referring to a High Court order as a 'political judgment'. Khan later apologized.

The Karnataka Governor, Thaawarchand Gehlot, has prompted the state's Advocate General to act upon a complaint made against state Minister B Z Zameer Ahmed Khan. The complaint comes from activist T J Abraham, who has accused Khan of contempt of court.

Abraham's grievance arises from comments Khan made, suggesting a High Court ruling on the MUDA case, involving a probe against Siddaramaiah, was a 'political judgment.' The Governor received the complaint on October 21, urging action.

An official from Raj Bhavan confirmed that the letter has been forwarded for necessary legal actions. Minister Khan, addressing reporters, explained his remarks were unintentional and expressed his respect for the judiciary, having already apologized for the incident.
