Mysore/Mysuru: In a big relief to former University of Mysore (UoM) and Karnataka State Open University (KSOU) Vice-Chancellor Prof. K.S. Rangappa, the Karnataka High Court on Wednesday last quashed the FIR registered against him in connection with the alleged irregularities that is said to have taken place when he was the KSOU VC.
Following a complaint accusing Prof. Rangappa and three others — Prof. M.G. Krishnan, also a former KSOU VC, retired KSOU Registrars P.S. Naik and B.S. Vishwanath — of having indulged in corruption while they were serving in KSOU, the Jayalakshmipuram Police had registered an FIR (Crime No.53/2019) against them on Nov. 29, 2019. Police, who investigated the complaint, found no truth in it and subsequently the Police filed a ‘B Report.’
