A bench comprising Justices Pankaj Mithal and Prasanna B Varale took note of the plea of Kumaraswamy, the central heavy industries minister, against the Karnataka High Court 's April 17 order and issued a notice to NGO " Samaj Parivartan Samudaya " being represented by lawyer Prashant Bhushan.

"The above order in the writ petition was passed by the high court on the basis of the statement by the additional advocate general wherein he stated that the state will comply with the order dated August 5, 2014, passed by the Karnataka Lokayukta within a period of three weeks," it said. Live Events The order of the Lokayuta, the bench said, was detailed but interlocutory in nature and later, the Lokayukta finally closed the proceedings on March 3, 2021. The top court recorded the submissions of senior advocate C A Sundaram, appearing for the leader, saying there cannot be contempt proceedings on an interim order of the Lokayukta when the case was closed later by the ombudsman itself. "The second submission is, that at the relevant time, the petitioner was not a party to the contempt proceedings but even then, the actions were taken against them for eviction. Therefore, this court vide order dated May 28, 2025 disposed of the SLP preferred by the petitioner with liberty to bring to the notice of the high court that he has been deleted from the contempt proceedings," it recorded. Sundaram said an application was filed by Kumarwaswamy in the high court following the apex court direction, but he was made a party in the ongoing contempt proceedings instead. "The submission is, he has not filed for impleadment but has brought it to the notice of the court as directed by this court. Issue notice," the bench ordered. Any response the the leader's plea was directed to be filed within four weeks. "In the meanwhile, the effect and operation of impugned order dated 17 April 2025 will remain in abeyance," the top court added. The bench, however, did not issue notices to other parties including the Karnataka government on the plea of the minister. The present contempt proceedings arose from the NGO's plea, which refers to a 2011 Lokayukta interlocutory report flagging illegal occupation of government land. The state government later constituted a special investigation team which reportedly found prima facie evidence supporting the allegations. The high court, acting on a 2020 assurance from the then advocate general that the state would act upon the Lokayukta's findings, closed the case. Later, the Lokayukta also formally closed its own proceedings in 2021 due to jurisdictional limitations. However, a contempt petition was later admitted by the high court against state authorities for allegedly failing to reclaim the encroached lands, as initially recommended. During the course of the proceedings, eviction notices were issued to Kumaraswamy, even though he was not a party to the contempt case at the time. Kumaraswamy moved the Supreme Court, which disposed of his plea on March 28, 2025, directing him to take the matter up with the high court. He then filed an application clarifying that he should not be subjected to eviction since he had not been impleaded in the proceedings. The high court subsequently added him as a respondent on April 17 which he has challenged in the top court.

Jack Graham suspended for homophobic slur but why the Eagle midfielder chose to self-report
West Coast Eagles midfielder Jack Graham has been suspended for four matches by the AFL after admitting to using a homophobic slur against a Greater Western Sydney ( GWS ) opponent on July 4. The incident occurred during the second quarter of the Eagles' Round 17 game against the Giants at Optus Stadium, Perth. The AFL and the club described the incident as 'highly offensive' and 'completely unacceptable.' Graham voluntarily informed the Eagles about his use of offensive language. The club then reported the matter to the AFL's Integrity Unit for an investigation. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This Japanese AI invention allows you to speak 68 languages instantly. The idea? Genius. Enence 2.0 Undo Reduced suspension The AFL said the suspension could have been longer if Graham hadn't taken accountability and self-reported the incident. In its official statement, the AFL condemned the remark, stating that it 'demeans and denigrates persons regardless of their sexuality.' The league reiterated that homophobia has no place in the sport or the wider community. Live Events As part of his penalty, Graham will also undergo education through the Pride in Sport program . Graham issued a public apology, saying, 'I am very remorseful for the word I used and know such language has no place in our community or our game. I made a mistake and need to be better. I will prove that through my actions going forward.' He also personally apologized to the GWS player involved, the Giants club, and directly to AFL CEO Andrew Dillon. Why did he choose to come forward? The 27-year-old midfielder, who previously played for Richmond, said he took full responsibility for his behavior. His decision to report himself may have two reasons: self-accountability and personal ethics to acknowledge wrongdoing and face the consequences, or it may also align with the AFL's recent push to encourage accountability and uphold respect and inclusion within the game. Club and AFL respond West Coast Eagles CEO Don Pyke said the club was 'very disappointed' by Graham's conduct. 'The word Jack used is completely unacceptable and does not align with societal and club values,' Pyke stated. AFL Head of Integrity and Security Tony Keane added, 'Everyone understands the word he used is both hurtful and totally unacceptable in any setting. This incident shows there is still more to be done to make our game safe and inclusive for all.' Graham will miss the Eagles' next four matches, including clashes against Port Adelaide, his former club Richmond, Fremantle, and Melbourne. He will not be eligible to play at any level of football during the suspension. The AFL has made clear it will continue to review each case individually, but it hopes incidents like this reinforce the importance of respect, accountability, and inclusion in Australian football.
