Bengaluru Bar Association writes to State Govt over KAT Chairman's alleged misconduct

The Bengaluru Bar Association (ABA) wrote a letter to State Government Chief Secretary Shalini Rajaneesh and Advocate General K. Shashikiran Shetty. The letter alleges that the Karnataka Appeals Tribunal (KAT) is not conducting hearings in a judicial manner. The ABA, represented by its President Vivek Reddy, submitted a two-page letter detailing over 10 points of objection regarding the administration. The letter claims that the KAT Chairman, Harsha Gupta, is dismissing cases solely to reduce pending matters, causing severe difficulties for lawyers and litigants.
