Karnataka HC Sets Aside Official's Suspension Over Ambedkar Portrait
On Constitution Day last year, a portrait of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar was not displayed at a function.
An official from the Legislative Council was suspended for this.
The Karnataka High Court reviewed the case.
The court decided to end the suspension because it had been issued seven months after the event and a departmental inquiry was already underway.
The court believed the suspension wasn't serving any purpose.
A Legislative Council official was suspended for the missing Ambedkar portrait.
The incident occurred on Constitution Day.
The Karnataka High Court set aside the suspension.
The court order was made public on August 19.
