Shruthis__marriageBangalore, Sep 21: The Second Additional Family Court on Friday declared the second marriage of Kannada actress with journalist Chandrachuda Chakravarthi, “null and void.”

Judge Bopaiah, while hearing the plea of Chakravarthi's first wife Manjula, upheld her argument and termed Shruthi's marriage with Chakravarthi null and void according to Section 11 of the Hindu Marriage Act, Manjula's advocate Dharmapala told Deccan Herald. A reconciliation meeting between Manjula and Chakravarthi will take place on Saturday at 3 pm, he added.

Manjula had moved the court on June 21 claiming that she was married to Chakravarthi for the last 14 years and had a daughter named Chukki with him. He frequently visited Chukki though he maintained a distance from her. He had not sought divorce from her and had married the actress in violation of the law, Manjula had claimed. She had told the court that her husband kept her in the dark about his marriage with Shruthi.

Shruthi's marriage with Chakravarthi was scheduled at Banasehwara Venkataramana Anjaneya temple at Hosanagara taluk in Shimoga district. Family members decided to shift the venue even as the initial rituals for the wedding had begun. Later, the wedding ceremony was secretly and hurriedly performed on June 6 at Kollur in Udupi district.

Manjula had sought an injunction restraining Chakravathi and Shruthi from living together and the court served a fresh notice on them asking them to appear before it on July 20.

For her part, Shruthi said she sympathised with Manjula, but vowed to fight for justice. She termed Chakravarthi's act of keeping Manjula in the dark about their marriage “a mistake.”

Shruthi was earlier married to film director S Mahender.?The couple parted ways in 2011 after 13 years due to “irreconcilable differences.” They had filed for divorce in 2009 and the court granted the custody of their only child to Shruthi.

Shruthi was not available for comment.

Bidar, Feb 15: Leader of the Opposition in the Assembly Siddaramaiah on Friday demanded the State government to withdraw the sedition case against a mother and a teacher of Shaheen school immediately.

“The police can’t execute anything without the government’s permission. The sedition case against two women should be withdrawn immediately. I will raise the matter in the Assembly to draw the government’s attention,” Siddaramaiah told reporters after meeting the woman at the prison here. 

He clarified that he visited the woman not to support the school, but to extend moral support to her.

“I am an advocate and I can clearly establish based on my experience that staging a satirical play doesn’t amount for sedition. It doesn’t even defame anybody. Three cases of sedition have been registered across the state,” he charged.

He alleged that the government was following dual policy. Though the Supreme Court had concluded that the demolition of Babri Masjid was illegal, a play dealing with the demolition was staged at Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat’s school.
The sedition case had not been registered for staging the play.

He charged that there was an undeclared emergency in the country as the freedom of expression was being suppressed.

Bengaluru, Jul 31: The Karnataka government on Wednesday put on hold a controversial proposal to drop certain chapters, including on Islam, Christianity, Tipu Sultan and his father Hyder Ali, from social science textbooks to reduce the 2020-21 syllabi for students in classes 1-10.

Citing the COVID-19 pandemic and the disruption caused to the academic calendar of the year, the government had earlier dropped the chapter on Tipu Sultan and Hyder Ali from the Class 7 social science textbook, saying chapters on Tipu Sultan have been retained in the Class 6 and 10 textbooks.

The move did not go down well with the opposition, which saw certain ulterior motives behind the decision.

Apparently under sharp criticism, the Department of Public Instruction issued a new notification on Wednesday "on the directions of the Karnataka Primary and Secondary Education Minister S Suresh Kumar".

There is a delay in opening the schools during the academic year 2020-21 due to COVID-19 pandemic, said the latest order.

In this context, the order said, chapters were dropped to fit in 120 days of the academic year for classes 1 to 10 and the same was published in the department's website.

"However, on the directions of the Minister for Primary and Secondary Education, the decision to drop certain chapters has been put on hold. A review will be done following which the deleted chapters will be uploaded in the website," the order read.

Earlier in the day, Mr Kumar had issued a statement, saying that the decision to truncate the syllabus has not been finalised yet. He also made it clear that his department would not remove chapters unnecessarily.

Former chief minister and Congress leader Siddaramaiah had attacked the government on the issue.

"The government, which has failed to control the spread of coronavirus, is using it as an opportunity to push its clandestine agenda of saffronising the textbooks," Siddaramaiah tweeted.
