The Centre has notified the appointment of Justice PB Bajanthri as the new Chief Justice of Patna High Court. The Supreme Court Collegium had recommended his name for the position earlier on September 11, 2025.
The Karnataka High Court directed the State Law University to provide exam hall invigilators with body cameras to prevent malpractices. The court emphasized the need to maintain fairness in exams amid rising competition in education and employment. It stressed that the university must uphold the sanctity of the examination process. The court also urged KLSU to create a standard operating procedure for a level playing field.
The Karnataka High Court is proposing an amendment to its rules to give the Chief Justice the power to suspend advocates involved in court boycotts. This is part of the “rules laying down the conditions subject to which an advocate shall be permitted to practice in the High Court and the courts subordinate thereto (Amendment) Rules, 2024.” Additionally, the Grievance Redressal Committee will address grievances related to strikes and boycotts by advocates.
