Roopa Moudgil vs Rohini Sindhuri dispute: Judge suggests reading 'One Minute Apology'
Bengaluru: A defamation case filed by IAS officer Rohini Sindhuri against IPS officer Roopa Moudgil was heard on Wednesday in the 5th ACMM Court in Bengaluru. During the proceedings, Judge Vijay Kumar Jatla advised both officers to consider a settlement instead of spending time in court. He also suggested that they read the book One Minute Apology.
The court expressed its willingness to facilitate a compromise between the two officers. "You are both senior officials with good reputations. Your time should be dedicated to serving society. Instead of spending it in court proceedings, consider a settlement," the judge said, before adjourning the hearing to February 12.
The conflict between Karnataka IAS officer Rohini Sindhuri and IPS officer D. Roopa began when Roopa shared Sindhuri’s photos on social media and made serious allegations. The dispute escalated through local courts, the High Court, and even reached the Supreme Court. However, even the Supreme Court could not resolve the matter and eventually directed them to settle it in the trial court.
Now, the 5th ACMM Court in Bengaluru has also attempted to mediate a settlement between the two officers, advising them with some words of caution and recommending One Minute Apology. It remains to be seen whether they will opt for a compromise or continue their legal battle.

SC cancels bail to wrestler Sushil Kumar in murder case, orders surrender in a week
New Delhi (PTI): The Supreme Court on Wednesday cancelled bail to Olympic medallist Sushil Kumar in the murder case of former junior national wrestling champion Sagar Dhankar at the Chhatrasal Stadium in the national capital.
A bench of justices Sanjay Karol and Prashant Kumar Mishra set aside the March 4 order of the Delhi High Court granting bail to the wrestler.
The wrestler has been asked to surrender within a week.
The top court's order came on an appeal filed by Ashok Dhankar, father of Sagar Dhankar, challenging the order passed by the Delhi High Court granting bail to Kumar.
Kumar and others are accused of fatally assaulting Sagar Dhankar in May 2021 over an alleged property dispute.
Two of Sagar Dhankar's friends were also injured in the assault.
According to the postmortem report, the victim suffered cerebral damage from the impact of a blunt object.
Kumar was arrested in May 2021 and a sessions court had granted him a week's interim bail for his knee surgery on July 19, 2023.
The trial court in October 2022 framed IPC charges, including murder, criminal conspiracy, intimidation and rioting with a deadly weapon against Kumar aside from the Arms Act, among others.
The trial court noted that after being abducted and brought to the stadium, Sagar Dhankar was severely assaulted by several accused persons with baseball and hockey sticks.
