The People’s Lawyers Guild of Shivamogga has criticised BJP leader and former minister C.T. Ravi for his comments on Justice H.N. Nagamohan Das being appointed to head the judicial inquiry into the corruption charges levelled against the previous BJP government.
K.P. Sripal, of the guild, said in a press release issued on Thursday, said Nagamohan Das had rendered a noble service to the legal profession as an advocate and judge in the Karnataka High Court. Even after his retirement, he had been engaged in spreading awareness about the Indian Constitution through his books and lectures. He had the honour of heading many commissions.
“BJP leader C.T. Ravi has stated that the retired judge will give a report favourable to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah. This comment is highly condemnable. He should stop making such comments and seek an apology”, he said.
Further, Mr. Sripal said that if Ravi did not apologise for his comments, the guild would take legal action against the BJP leader.
