The High Court of Karnataka has found nothing illegal in compulsorily retiring a civil judge in 2012 for interfering in a criminal case on behalf of a woman and threatening a police officer in Bengaluru.
A division bench comprising Chief Justice Vibhu Bakhru and Justice C.M. Joshi passed the order on August 19 dismissing an appeal filed by K.M. Gangadhar, challenging the February 25, 2025, verdict of a single judge, who had dismissed his petition challenging the October 1, 2012, order of compulsorily retiring him from service after holding an inquiry.
