Bengaluru: In a huge relief for Union Law Minister Sadananda Gowda's son Karthik, Karnataka High Court dismissed a plea to quash an FIR in the rape case against him.
Karthik had also approached to the High Court to get the rape case against him quashed. A case had been registered against Karthik in connection with alleged rape, kidnap and cheating a Kannada actress.
The actress is seeking the status of his legally wedded wife. However, the court ruled that it was not a valid marriage.
The actress had claimed that she and Karthik got married at Gowda's residence in Mangalore in June. Her claim came on the day Karthik got engaged to another woman at Kushalnagar in Kodagu district.
Her allegations caused severe embarrassment to the Union Minister who has maintained that law will take its own course.
