Karnataka High Court Refuses to Limit Stay on Public Gathering Restriction
The Karnataka High Court refused to limit a stay it had placed on a government order that restricts public gatherings without prior permission.
The government wanted the stay to only affect the people who filed the case, but the court said the order can't be limited to just them.
The court will hear the case again later this month.
