The two are accused of data theft including proprietary software and designs for high-altitude drones developed by a private company which are used by Indian defence forces for border security.The bench said, “Courts must exercise caution when granting anticipatory bail, specially in cyber economic crimes. Custodial interrogation is necessary, due to the technical nature of the crime and to reveal the full extent of data theft and its concealment methods. The petitioner's actions show their ability and willingness to destroy and tamper with evidence. Granting anticipatory bail could jeopardize investigation and may frustrate the investigating agency in interrogating the accused and collecting useful information and may weaken the ability of law enforcement agencies to combat sophisticated cyber crimes.”After Karnataka HC Nudge, Tumakuru Advocates Association To Reserve One Treasurer, Two Executive Committee Member Posts For WomenCase Title: Mohanakumar K R & Others AND State of Karnataka & Others Case No: WP 8186/2025Citation No: 2025 LiveLaw (Kar) 118The Karnataka High Court on Monday (24 March) directed the Tumakuru District Advocates Association to create one post of Treasurer and two posts for Executive Committee Members for women, in view of the submission by the Association that it would reserve the said posts for women in the upcoming elections.Justice M Nagaprasanna took on record a submission made by the counsel for the Association that 1 post of Treasurer and 2 posts for Executive Committee Members would be notified before the ensuing elections.
