A Bench comprising Chief Justice Dipak Misra and Justices A.M. Khanwilkar and D.Y. Chandrachud said the election process has started and it cannot intervene.

The Assembly election in Karnataka will be held on May 12, 2018 in 223 of the 224 constituencies. The results are scheduled to be announced on May 15.

In a short order dismissing the petition, Chief Justice Misra, speaking for the Bench, said after the election is over, if the parties feel aggrieved, they can come under the requisite provisions under the Representation of People Act.

Mr. Muthalik had also sought directions to the Election Commission of India (ECI) to delete the Congress party’s alleged appeal in its manifesto.

Advocate Vishnu Jain had argued that there is a seven-judge Bench judgment which prohibits seeking of votes in the name of religion.

The plea had sought disqualification of those Congress candidates who are allegedly seeking votes in name of religion in the Karnataka polls. The Assembly election in Karnataka will be held in 223 of the 224 constituencies.

Very sad. What happening to our youths. Are they going crazy or the mountain fell on them? Why do our people are becoming so coward? I think many are going under depression. Govt should set up rehabilitation/counselling centres in each Mandals/Taluks/Districts to treat such people.

Karnataka cancels I PUC supplementary exams; failed students also to be promoted to II PUC

Agencies

July 13,2020

Bengaluru, July 13: The Karnataka government today announced the cancellation of I PUC supplementary examinations across the state.

Primary and Secondary Education minister S Suresh Kumar announced that the government took the decision in the wake of rising cases of Covid-19 and re-introduction of the lockdown. According to sources in the education department, as many as 60,000 students were supposed to appear for the examination.

Previously, the state government had decided to hold these exams at the college level in every district and publish the results by 30 July. However, the government has withdrawn even that arrangement and completely cancelled the exams.

According to the minister, all the students who failed in the I PUC examination, shall also be promoted to II PUC. "The students who have attended all the subjects but unable to pass the exams will also be promoted to the next class," Suresh Kumar said.

However, those who missed out on the exams due to health reasons or failed in the examinations will be given a small test at the time of commencing classes for II PUC to assess their learning ability at the college level, according to the minister. "Only those students who missed out on the examination due to shortage of attendance will not be promoted to the next class," Suresh Kumar clarified.
