The Supreme Court today stayed the Karnataka High Court order which had quashed the appointment of Shankar Bidari as director general of state police, dubbing him as "worse than Saddam Hussein or Muammar Gaddafi." A bench of justices Aftab Alam and C K Prasad asked the state high court to examine afresh the matter and dispose it of before May 31.
The apex court while staying the high court's March 30 order, said the latter had passed the impugned order on assumptions without going into the findings of the Justice Sadashiva Commission and National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), which, according to Bidari, had given him a clean chit in the case of alleged excesses and sexual abuse perpetrated by the Joint STF on tribal women.
