(File/Photo)The Karnataka High Court on Wednesday directed the state legislative assembly not to pursue with the privilege proceedings against the editors of two Kannada tabloids, who had been sentenced to a one-year jail term by the House, until further orders. The journalists had earlier moved the high court, contending that the resolution sentencing them to the jail term was illegal and unconstitutional and seeking that it be quashed. Accordingly, the two editors visited the speaker’s office, seeking a review of the resolution and submitted their arguments and representations through their lawyers.
