The Delhi High Court today extended interim protection for former IAS probationary officer Pooja Khedkar by one week, requiring the Delhi Police to submit a new response to her counter-affidavit. Khedkar faces allegations of manipulating her identity to secure extra attempts in the UPSC examination, and the UPSC has filed a criminal case against her.
The Karnataka High Court has granted bail to three individuals accused in the 2017 murder of activist-journalist Gauri Lankesh. Justice S Vishwajith Shetty approved the bail for Amit Digvekar, KT Naveen Kumar, and HL Suresh, following the reservation of orders on their bail applications on July 2. The decision aligned with the precedent of granting bail due to trial delays.
