With Karnataka HC permission, pregnant advocate writes Civil Judge exam in Mangaluru
Mangaluru: With the Karnataka High Court granting special permission, a candidate who was eight and a half months pregnant wrote the Civil Judge mains exams in Mangaluru instead of the exam centre in Bengaluru on Saturday and Sunday.
The candidate, advocate Nethravathi, is writing the two-day exam in a building on the city court complex. The exam is being held in Bengaluru, but as Nethravathi was unable to travel to the state capital, she had appealed for special permission from the High Court to answer the exam in Mangaluru itself.
The High Court Committee for Direct Recruitment of Civil Judges, after considering her application, granted Nethravathi permission to answer the exam in Mangaluru, with Chief Justice Prasanna B Varale too approving the Committee decision. In addition, the Chief Justice as well as the HC Committee had directed the Registrar to depute a lady judicial officer to conduct the exam for the single candidate in Mangaluru.

Bengaluru woman groped, beaten, dragged on road after rejecting man’s advances
Bengaluru: A 21-year-old woman was allegedly assaulted in broad daylight in Bengaluru after she rejected repeated relationship advances from a man she had met through social media. The incident, which was captured on CCTV, took place on December 22 around 3.20 pm, NDTV reported.
According to police, the accused, identified as Naveen Kumar, had been in contact with the woman after connecting with her on Instagram earlier this year. While they initially remained in touch through calls and messages, the man reportedly began pressuring her to enter into a relationship, which she refused.
On the day of the incident, the footage shows the woman standing beside a scooty, believed to be an online ride, when the accused arrives at the spot in a car. He is seen taking her purse and checking it before moving towards her and groping her.
The man then repeatedly hits the woman on her head and back and drags her along the road. Despite the presence of two to three bystanders at the scene, no one intervened to help the victim.
The victim later approached the police and filed a complaint. Based on her statement, an FIR was registered, and Naveen Kumar was taken into custody. Police said further investigation is underway.
