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.

7 held for running fake call centre in South Kolkata
Kolkata (PTI): Seven people were arrested from the Parnashree area in the southern part of the city for allegedly running a fake call centre, a police officer said on Saturday.
Acting on a tip-off, police raided a house on Netaji Subhas Road on Friday night and found the fake call centre operating from the ground floor, he said.
Preliminary investigation revealed that the accused had set up a bogus company using forged documents and posed as employees of an antivirus firm to call citizens in the US, the officer said.
"The callers would gain the trust of victims and then use remote access to take control of their phones or other digital devices. The accused allegedly siphoned off large sums of money, running into millions of dollars, from victims' accounts," he said.
Five laptops, two WiFi routers, six mobile phones and four headsets were seized from the accused, he said, adding that the seven are being questioned to ascertain the full extent of the racket and to identify others involved.
