Bengaluru: The High Court of Karnataka adjourned the hearing on the petition filed by two senior IPS officers questioning the Madikeri magistrate court’s order for registering an FIR against them in connection with the alleged suicide of DySP MK Ganapathi to Monday.

The HC on Tuesday had ordered issue of notices to the State government and Nehal Ganapathy, son of the deceased officer MK Ganapathi, on petitions filed by two senior IPS officers. The court had passed the order on the petitions filed by A.M. Prasad, Additional Director-General of Police (Intelligence), and Pronab Mohanty, Inspector General of Police (Lokayukta Police).

The hearing was adjourned from Tuesday to Wednesday by Justice H. Billappa citing the reason that he would like to hear the arguments on behalf of Ganapthi’s son, Nehal, who had filed the private complaint before the Madikeri court. The Judge had also refused to pass any interim order in favour of the officers.
