Kuvempu University postpones exam after BA students receive wrong question paper
The Bachelor of Arts students of Kuvempu University appearing for the sixth semester (NEP batch) examination of the Kannada optional paper were in shock on Saturday (May 24, 2025), when they received the wrong question papers.
The examination was scheduled between 9 am and 11 am. The students were provided with the question paper prepared based on the old syllabus, leaving them clueless.
The students brought this to the notice of examination supervisors and the principals of respective colleges, who later informed the Registrar (Examination) of the University.
Exam postponed
Following complaints from the colleges, the University postponed the examination scheduled on the day. The students were asked to leave the rooms, returning the answer sheets and question papers.
Prof. S.M. Gopinath, Registrar (Evaluation) of Kuvempu University, told The Hindu that the exam had been postponed and the next day would be decided soon.
'The students received the wrong question paper due to the negligence of the chairperson of the board of examiners (BoE). Question papers are prepared confidentially. The BoE chairperson finalizes the question paper and also has the responsibility to do scrutiny of the draft before it goes for final print. The students faced difficulty because of the chairperson's negligence', he said.
Further, the Registrar, said he would seek an explanation from the erring official, issue a show-cause notice, and seek a response. 'We will hold the erring official responsible for the development and ensure such incidents do not repeat', he added.
The colleges in Shivamogga and Chikkamagaluru are affiliated to Kuvempu University.

This flop film's set was built on 50 acres, had 3 superstars, made on budget of Rs 10 crore, earned just Rs..., movie is...
In early 1990s, Indian cinema witnessed an ambitious endeavor that sought to transcend linguistic and regional boundaries. A visionary filmmaker embarked on a project that would feature three of the nation's most celebrated actors, aiming to create a cinematic masterpiece that resonated across the country. This grand vision materialized into a film that, despite its star-studded cast and monumental budget, failed to make a mark at the box office. Which film is this? The film we are talking about is Shanti Kranti (1991), directed, produced, and written by Kannada actor-director V. Ravichandran. This multilingual action-crime drama was simultaneously shot in Kannada, Telugu, Tamil, and Hindi, which was considered a pioneering move at the time. Ravichandran himself played the lead in the Kannada version, while Telugu superstar Nagarjuna headlined the Telugu edition. The Tamil and Hindi versions featured the iconic Rajinikanth in the lead role. Juhi Chawla, Khushbu, and Anant Nag were part of the ensemble cast across all versions. What was the storyline? This film revolves around courageous police officer who sets out to dismantle a dangerous organ transplant mafia. The film's plot centers on the gritty underworld of illegal organ trading, where innocent people are kidnapped and exploited for profit. As officer delves deeper, he uncovers a powerful network of criminals backed by influential figures, making his mission both life-threatening and morally challenging. How was the box office reception and why is Shanti Kranti considered one of the big projects from Regional cinema? With a staggering budget of Rs 10 crore, Shanti Kranti was most expensive Indian film at the time, surpassing the previous record held by Amitabh Bachchan's fantasy drama Ajooba. Lavish sets were constructed, including a 50-acre plot for the climax, and significant investments were made in visual effects and production design. Despite these efforts, the film failed to connect with audiences. Released in September 1991, it garnered Rs 8 crore across all versions, falling short of recovering its production costs. The film's underwhelming performance was attributed to its weak narrative and inability to engage viewers, despite the presence of major stars. The financial failure of Shanti Kranti had severe repercussions for Ravichandran. Having invested his personal savings and resources into the project, he faced significant financial distress. In the aftermath, Ravichandran shifted his focus to directing remakes of successful Tamil and Telugu films, a move that eventually helped him regain his footing in the industry.

Allegations of impotency made by wife in divorce proceedings not defamatory: HC
The Bombay High Court dismissed a man's complaint against his estranged wife, noting that allegations of impotency made by a woman against her husband in matrimonial proceedings do not amount to defamation when she has made them to protect her interests. A Bench of Justice S.M. Modak held that in a Hindu Marriage Act petition, the allegations of impotency are very much relevant. The court dismissed the petitioner's complaint seeking a defamation case against his estranged wife and her family for alleging that he was impotent in the divorce proceedings initiated by her. A copy of the order passed on July 17 was made available on Friday. The court held that the woman was justified in making these allegations to show that she had suffered cruelty in the marriage. The allegations of impotency being a ground for divorce are necessary, it said. "This court feels that when litigation between spouses arises in a matrimonial relationship, then the wife is justified in making those allegations to support her interest," the court said, adding the same cannot be held as defamatory. The man had stated that his estranged wife had, in her pleas seeking divorce and maintenance and also in her FIR against him and his parents, claimed that he was impotent. These documents were part of the public record and hence defamatory. The woman, her father and brother had moved the High Court seeking to quash a Sessions Court order, directing a Magistrate's Court to conduct an inquiry into the man's defamation complaint. The woman, in her plea to the High Court, said that her husband's impotence was one of the grounds for dissolving the marriage.

Who is D. Roopa Moudgil? Meet IPS officer, cracked UPSC with AIR 43, arrested former CM, got transferred 40 times in 20 years, is now posted at..
In a country characterized by such vastness and diversity as India, taking a stand for truth and justice is a defining act of bravery. Over the years, India has produced several officers who are honest, fearless, and committed to the law. This makes them unique. D Roopa is one of them. With her bold actions and her uncompromising stand against corruption, D Roopa has won admiration and public attention for asserting the truth against power. Her most shocking moment as a police officer — the one that brought her national fame — was when D Roopa arrested a sitting Chief Minister. This first-ever act sent waves of shock and anxiety through the political and administrative system that day, and showed her unbridled commitment to justice. Many would let system, status, or authority override justice. D Roopa showed everyone that no one is above the law, not even a Chief Minister. Hailing from Karnataka, Roopa Diwakar Moudgil finished her studies and higher studies in Karnataka. According to the media reports, Roopa graduated from Kuvempu University, where she excelled academically. If media reports are to be believed, she was awarded a gold medal for her exceptional performance. She pursued a Master of Arts in Psychology from Bangalore University. Shortly after finishing her studies in college, D Roopa sat for the Civil Services Examination. She succeeded in the UPSC exam in 2000 when she received an All India Rank(AIR) of 43. Following her selection, she opted for the Indian Police Service (IPS) and underwent rigorous police training. It is reported that she secured the fifth rank during training. When D Roopa began her IPS career, she had the opportunity to serve in many parts of the country, which provided her with diverse experiences in law enforcement and administration. Throughout D Roopa's career, she always showed strong leadership qualities, integrity, and fearlessness, which would serve her well throughout her career as an administrator. A closer look at IPS D Roopa's career reveals many highs and lows. She has worked in multiple states, including Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, and Andhra Pradesh, and during her 20-year career she has been transferred reportedly almost 40 times. This indicates that she has consistently worked with integrity and fearless honesty. IPS officer D Roopa came to public attention when she arrested a Chief Minister — an act which certainly brought her under the national spotlight. In 2007, she arrested the then Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, Uma Bharti, as ordered by the court. Arresting a sitting Chief Minister is not an easy task, but D Roopa did her job and demonstrated her courage in the line of duty and upheld the rule of law. D Roopa is also considered quite active on social media where she shares her experiences and pictures and some of her thoughts with her followers. A year later, she arrested former minister Yavagal and initiated disciplinary action against Deputy Superintendent Masooti for unauthorized contact with him.
