Court Issues Externment Orders Against Two Individuals in Udupi

The Karnataka High Court issued externment orders against two suspects in Udupi, directing them to be removed from the area and surrender within 72 hours. The orders were handed down after authorities alleged that the men were involved in serious offences, including robbery and intimidation of local residents.

Externment, a legal remedy under Section 109 of the Criminal Procedure Code, is typically used to ensure public safety when suspects are deemed a threat to the peace. By ordering the suspects’ removal from the locality, the court seeks to detain them away from potential victims until formal charges can be pursued.

Law enforcement officials have praised the swift action, saying it sends a clear message that crime will not be tolerated. The local community is expected to feel reassured as the judiciary moves to pre‑empt further disturbances. Source: Google News – Udupi District.
