Karnataka High court to hear case against Mylarappa today

The Karnataka high court adjourned the hearing of a public interest litigation (PIL) challenging the appointment of BC Mylarappa as registrar of Bangalore University (BU). The petitioner PM Parameshwaramurthy has contended that BU has failed to see that the post of registrar requires a person of impeccable character and integrity. “Mylarappa is a man of questionable character and therefore his appointment deserves to be set aside.

He is not qualified to become a lecturer and was indicted for plagiarism,” the petitioner  stated. The division bench headed by Justice KL Manjunath adjourned the petition to March 1.
