Bengaluru: The Karnataka High Court is set to hear a petition filed by JDS MLA H.D. Revanna, seeking to quash a sexual assault and harassment case registered against him at Holenarasipura police station in Hassan district. The case, based on a complaint filed four years ago, was registered under IPC Sections 354(A) (sexual harassment), 354(D) (stalking), 504 (insult), and 506 (criminal intimidation).WEET Cotton T-Shirt and Pyjama Set for Men,Night Wear for Men,Men's Pyjama Set 122

Represented by senior advocate C.V. Nagesh, Revanna argues that the complaint lacks elements pertaining to these sections. The High Court has already issued an interim order staying proceedings in the trial court, noting that the case was registered four years after the complaint and lacks prima facie evidence of criminality.Also Read; Smriti Mandhana: Joint-Most ODI Centuries in a Calendar Year (2025)

The case is linked to broader allegations of sexual assault involving Revanna’s son, Prajwal Revanna, which surfaced during the 2024 Lok Sabha elections due to viral videos. Prajwal Revanna has already been sentenced to life imprisonment by a special court in a related rape case registered at Holenarasipura Rural police station, with an appeal pending in the High Court.

The Special Investigation Team (SIT) has investigated these cases, and Revanna was previously granted bail. However, the SIT sought cancellation of his bail. Revanna’s plea highlights the delay in filing the case and the absence of substantial evidence. The High Court’s hearing today will further determine the course of this case.
