Justice Srikrishna

In a special order the Karnataka High Court on Tuesday said that the remuneration of the Principal Secretary in the Health and Family Welfare (Medical Education) Department of the State be withheld until Dharwad Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (DIMHANS) gets an MRI machine installed and made operational.

The petition said the Karnataka government has denotified ‘the Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments Act, 1997,’ therefore, it will not apply on the Gokarna temple and the management should be given back to them.

The Justice BN Srikrishna Committee drafted a tough data protection law in 2018. It included the right to confirmation and access and data portability. Why has it been hanging fire since then?
