Karnataka High Court defers hearing on plea against State’s decision for singing only two stanzas of Vande Mataram
India's Karnataka High Court postponed a hearing on a petition contesting the state government's move to limit the national song Vande Mataram to two verses. The petitioner alleges the decision lacked a formal written order and legal review, stating it emerged from an informal Cabinet discussion. The court's deferment delays judicial scrutiny of the policy.
