Just before turning himself in, the actor had told the media that he did not have the means to repay the amount, triggering conversations about the financial struggles faced by character actors in the film industry.

Reiterating his stance during a conversation with Farah Khan on her YouTube vlog, he maintained that he has consistently been working throughout his career spanning nearly three decades. Reacting to his extensive filmography, Farah remarked, “I think you must have done at least 100 films with just Priyadarshan sir.” Rajpal, known for films like Bhagam Bhag, Malamaal Weekly, and Bhool Bhulaiyaa, responded with a laugh, saying, “I have actually done at least 50 films each with Ram Gopal Varma, Priyadarshan and David Dhawan.” Highlighting the early momentum of his career, he added, “In the very first year (2000), the industry bestowed me with so much love and fame that I have finished doing at least 200 films,” underlining that he has never been out of work. Farah then joked about his indispensability, saying, “Even Salman [Khan] can’t do without you.” Rajpal agreed, replying, “Yes, Salman bhai and Akshay bhai both can’t do.

Karnataka High Court directs government to appoint three candidates as Works Inspectors despite abolition of posts

Karnataka High Court directs government to appoint three candidates as Works Inspectors despite abolition of posts The High Court of Karnataka has directed the State government to appoint three candidates, who were selected to the posts of work inspectors in the Department of Municipal Administration (DMA) in 2017, even though the government in 2021 had abolished the cadre of work inspectors under the DMA in 2021. Rachaiah issued the directions while allowing an appeal filed by Harish Kumar H.P. of Kanakapura in Bengaluru South district, Vishwanath of Yelaburga in Koppal district and Hampanna Kolakar of Basavana Bagewadi in Vijayapura district. The appellants had challenged a single judge’s February 24, 2022 order of dismissing their petition, in which they had questioned the government’s November 4, 2021 endorsement denying appointments to the petitioners citing abolition of the posts. Cleared selection process The petitioners had successfully cleared the competitive examination conducted by the Karnataka Public Service Commission in 2016 for 211 posts of work inspector. Their names appeared in the final select list published on September 16, 2017, and they had secured more than 25% marks. Meanwhile, the government withheld appointment process in the guise of proposal to abolish various posts, including these posts in 2019. However, the government subsequently had told the court in an earlier proceedings that it would issue appointment letters only to those who have secured 25% of marks. The government had also told the court that in the event of abolition of these posts the candidates, who had secured more than 25% marks would be merged with equivalent cadres.
