 Off-the-court battles in the Karnataka judicial circles seem to be getting increasingly personal, with an undated letter sent to the Chief Justice of India and other Supreme Court judges levelling charges against Justice D V Shylendra Kumar.
Meanwhile in Kochi, former Supreme Court Judge Justice V R Krishna Iyer wrote to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh asking him to ensure that only some one with a clean record fill the vacancy of the Chief Justice of Kerala.
Curiously, the letter containing allegations against Justice Kumar was sent in the name of Y R Sadashiva Reddy, former chairman of the Karnataka State Bar Council and Muniyappa, former vice chairman of the Bar Council. Both are well known admirers of Justice Kumar and have been consistently demanding the resignation of Chief Justice P D Dinakaran.
Dinakaran, under a cloud over allegations of corruption, is being probed by an impeachment committee. Justice Kumar has been vocal about the need for Dinakaran to abstain from administrative duties. |

 A day after former Prime Minister H D Deve Gowda abused Chief Minster B S Yeddyurappa and advocate general Ashok Harnhally as “bloody bastards”, the two parties - JD(S) and BJP - continue to indulge in mudslinging.
While BJP leaders upped the ante by organising protests all over Karnataka against Gowda and his two political heirs - former Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy and JD(S) floor leader in the Assembly HD Revanna - the JD(S) leaders were in damage control mode and played down the spat, saying the former PM never meant what he “actually said”.
In fact Gowda, who was in Delhi on Tuesday, defended hurling abuses by saying that he used the invective against the CM as he was “moved by the agony of the farmers”. “I have already expressed regret. What can I do if the media and others continue to repeat the statement?”’ he asked while reiterating that there was no question of his giving up the fight against the controversial Bangalore- Mysore express highway for which he signed the original frame work agreement in 1995. |

 As a tribute to two of Kannada cinema’s biggest actor’s — the late Rajkumar and Vishnuvardhan — the state government will construct a film city in their name, said Chief Minister Yeddyurappa on Tuesday.
He was speaking at a condolence meet organised by the Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce (KFCC) to pay homage to Vishnuvardhan, C Ashwath, Chandulal Jain and Circus Boraiah. He announced that the government would allot land for the proposed project which will be called the ‘Dr Rajkumar and Dr Vishnuvardhan film city’.
“We will soon identify land for the film city and the government will ensure that adequate funds are released to realise the dream of having a film city in their name,” said Yeddyurappa.
Earlier, senior BJP leader and Bangalore South MP Ananthkumar urged Yeddyurappa to construct a film city in Mysore as the city, apart from being the cultural capital of the state, was home to some of the best tourist spots. Leader of the Opposition in the Assembly Siddaramaiah, in his address, said that despite efforts to woo Vishnuvardhan to politics, he remained apolitical and dedicated his life to Kannada cinema.
