In a first, the Karnataka High Court’s administration has permitted an eight-and-a-half-month pregnant lawyer to write the main exam for the post of civil judge on the district court premises in Mangaluru instead of on the High Court premises, which is the exam centre for all the candidates.
Nethravathi, an advocate from Mangaluru, sent a representation to the High Court to permit her to write the examination on the Dakshina Kannada court premises in Mangaluru as she was unable to travel to Bengaluru due to the advanced stage of pregnancy with a delicate health condition, said K.S. Bharath Kumar, Registrar-General of the High Court, in a press release.
She is one of the 1,022 candidates selected for the main exam, to be held on November 18 and 19, out of the 6,000 candidates who had appeared for the preliminary exam held in July this year for selecting candidates to fill 57 posts through the direct recruitment process.
