The High Court of Karnataka on Wednesday directed Madikeri City Municipal Council (CMC) president Anitha Poovaiah of the Bharatiya Janata Party to file an affidavit explaining how many public toilets she has inspected so far to check their maintenance.
Justice M. Nagaprasanna issued this direction while staying the First Information Report (FIR) registered against Chandrashekar and 12 other local leaders of the Congress based on her complaint lodged on August 9.
She had complained that they were the cause for the police preventing her from inspecting toilets as the president of the CMC when Siddaramaiah, Leader of the Opposition in the Legislative Assembly visited Madikeri to inspect damages from heavy rain and floods.
