Chennai/ Bengalore: Tight security arrangements, including the invoking of Section 144 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), have been made at the Karnataka High Court, which will pronounce its judgement in appeals filed by former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa on May 11.
The imposition of Section 144 will prohibit any gathering in a radius of one kilometre around the High Court. Additional Commissioner of Police Alok Kumar said that the orders will be effective from 6 am to 6 pm and only lawyers would be permitted inside the premises of the High Court.
