Belthangady, Jun 17, 2021:  The Belthangady Court has upheld an earlier order and has sentenced Nagarika Seva Trust, Guruvayanakere  President K Somanath Nayak to three months imprisonment in the case of  malicious propaganda against Sri Kshetra Dharmasthala  by violating a court injunction.

Apart from three months imprisonment, the court has also ordered  attachment of the immovable property owned by Nayak  to pay a compensation of Rs 4.5 lakhs to the Kshetra.

The Court has also directed Nayak to pay an additional Rs 2,000 as compensation for  unnecessarily wasting the time of the court and also harassing the Sri Kshetra despite knowing that he did not have any evidence to prove his case.

It may  be recalled here that  following an appeal filed by  Sri Kshetra Dharmasthala, family of Dharmadhikari Veerendra Heggade and other organisations against K Somanath Nayak and others the Belthangady Additional Civil Court had passed an injunction in 2013 restraining the defendants from issuing any statement   or making any allegation against the Kshetra and the people concerned.  It is alleged that the  order was continuously violated and  seeking  legal action B Vardhaman had moved the court on behalf of the Kshetra.

The Court which  conducted prolonged hearing  took note of the fact that Nayak was senenced twice in the past but  following the appeal  made by him, the case was sent back to the base court for additional enquiry.

The court has now upheld the earlier  judgement and  has sentenced Nayak to three months imprisonment.
