Bomb blast victim seeks Rs 10 lakh relief

BENGALURU: NS Leesha, a 20-year-old girl who was injured in the April 2013 bomb blast near the BJP headquarters, has moved the high court seeking interim relief of Rs 10 lakh. Justice AS Bopanna on Monday asked the government to consider her request. Additional advocate- general AS Ponnanna sought one week to get necessary instructions. The court was told that Leesha had already undergone seven surgeries on her leg. She also has to undergo a limb-salvage surgery and multiple operations. BBMP poll case: The government on Monday moved a single bench seeking clarifications/modification of the March 30 order on BBMP elections. When additional advocate-general AS Ponnana moved the application before Justice BV Nagarathna, who had earlier passed the original order, the latter wondered what modification the state is seeking after the order was affirmed by the Supreme Court. The government is seeking changes to enable it to undertake delimitation of wards on the basis of 2011 census data before the polls. The judge posted the application to Tuesday. -TOI
