As part of the ongoing pan India campaign, Justice Uday Umesh Lalit inaugurated a mega legal services camp at Kanyakumari, which was hosted by the Tamil Nadu State Legal Services Authority in association with the local District Administration. The inauguration commenced with Justice Lalit flagging off 5 mobile vans, which would travel through various parts of Tamil Nadu and would spread awareness about legal services that are made available to common people by the legal services institutions. Speaking at the occasion, Justice Lalit said that the pandemic has not dampened the spirits of the legal services institutions and that the pandemic has rather lifted our spirits to render more and better services. As a result of the pandemic, there are large numbers of victims, who have actually faced the brunt of the situation. However, the Legal Services Institutions have a large number of committed para-legal volunteers, when it comes to extending legal aid. People don’t know about its e

The Allahabad High Court has said that having sex before marriage with a major may not be an offence but is unethical, immoral given Indian customs and tradition. A single-judge bench of Justice Rahul Chaturvedi said this while rejecting the bail application of a man who has been arrested under POCSO Act provisions for having sex with a minor and standing a mute spectator to the minor being gang-raped by three others. Justice Chaturvedi said, “The conduct of the applicant is highly deplorable and unbecoming of a boyfriend who could not save his girlfriend from these offenders. I’m not inclined to exercise my discretionary power under Section 439 CrPc in favour of the applicant, therefore the prayer for bail of the applicant is rejected.” In his observations while rejecting the bail application, the judge said: “I am afraid to accept the contentions raised by learned counsel for the applicant on many scores: 1. The moment the applicant submits that the victim is his beloved, It was

A Patiala House Court has sentenced two Hizbul Mujahideen (HM) members to 12 years imprisonment and 10-year terms to other members convicted for terror funding and waging war against the Government of India. A single-judge bench of Additional Sessions Judge Parveen Singh observed, “The convicts who have primarily been convicted for terror financing have provided funds for the activities of HM and said funds have been used for the destruction of property and taking human lives. Thus, merely because, in the present case, the convicts were not directly responsible for loss of life and property, it cannot be accepted that they were not responsible for loss of life and destruction of property because of the terrorist activities of HM.” The Court observed, “On the contrary, I find that the funding network run by these convicts on the instructions of their handlers sitting in Pakistan had a greater responsibility for the terror acts committed by HM as in absence of such funding, which finan

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan walked out of Mumbai’s Arthur Road Jail on Saturday after spending more than 3 weeks in jail following his arrest in an alleged drugs case. Aryan Khan was released two days after the Bombay High Court granted him bail in the case. He had been granted bail on Thursday but had spent two more nights in jail as his bail papers missed the deadline. The city NDPS Court also granted bail to alleged drug peddler Aachit Kumar and 6 others arrested in a drugs case, in which Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan is one of the accused. Aryan Khan has been released on bail with 14 conditions. If he violates any of them, then the NCB is entitled to apply for cancellation of bail straightaway. The bail conditions by the high court apply to 2 others accused Aryan’s friend Arbaaz Merchant and Munmun Dhamecha, who got bail along with Khan. Shah Rukh’s personal bodyguard Ravi Singh received the 23-year-old man outside the jail premises at

By Sujit Bhar The age is of sportspersons, celebrities and politics. The two categories meld in a pot, creating a strange amalgam of neither. Following in the footsteps of cricket – Navjot Singh Sidhu can’t be anybody’s pole star, though – two more past athletes have just joined a political party, this time the Trinamool Congress (TMC). Both were welcomed with open arms into the party by party supremo Mamata Banerjee, Chief Minister of West Bengal, and this happened in Goa. The two are Leander Paes and Nafisa Ali. For Nafisa, actor, former beauty queen and also former national champion swimmer, it will be her second foray into politics, the first being with the Congress, with whom she had even fought – pretty sadly, one must say – Mamata. Lately, she has been seen chilling in Goa with Lucky Ali and the bling band, as well as with poll strategist Prashant Kishor. Not sure which part brought her back into the political fold. For Leander, the itinerant former tennis star with a Kolkata

The Tripura High Court on Friday directed the Tripura government to initiate action against all social media platforms that continue to carry posts that are false, fictitious and or fabricated articles or visual footage and to see to it that such false news is removed at the earliest.  The Court registered the suo motu public interest litigation on the basis of various press reports both in national newspapers as well as local newspapers on violence that broke out on October 26, 2021 in North Tripura District, Unakoti District as well as Sipahijala District.  After the  Advocate General brought to the notice of the Division Bench of Chief Justice Indrajit Mahanty and Justice S.

Many novice traders think that the key point is to know which stocks have great perspectives and that will guarantee profits in the future. Yet, in practice, it turns out that the skill to determine when to sell unattractive assets plays a much more decisive role in many cases. Read more about it below. All in all, professional traders single out 5 key reasons why one may decide to sell his stocks: To fix profits.  Before buying a stock, you must develop a plan. So, when its price reaches the highest limit you expected, it is better to sell it to get profits.

In case you are already losing money, it is the situation  when to sell stocks  is the best solution. To stop losses caused by a wrong strategy.  When a trader decides to invest in a certain asset, he usually has an idea why it should gr

By Mathews J Nedumpara The perception of the common man on powers of the courts of the country in getting justice delivered seems a bit removed from ground realities. The common man is often reassured by news reports where the High Courts, under Article 226 (power of High Courts to issue certain writs) and even the Supreme Court under Article 32 (remedies for enforcement of rights conferred by this part) have come to the rescue of the commoner who has been denied justice by the government and its allied organisations. As they read news reports of people apparently being granted instant and hassle free justice, they, too, want to have writ petitions instituted when they face similar injustice. There is a stellar example of the Kerala High Court, where relief under the writ jurisdiction is granted without being confronted by questions as to the maintainability of the petition for the petitioner not having exhausted the “alternative remedies”. Elsewhere, though, the reality differs from

By Neil Terrance Haslam Deepika Padukone was born on January 5, 1986 at Copenhagen, Denmark to renowned badminton player Prakash Padukone, the first Indian to win the All-England Badminton Championships, and wife Ujjala Padukone.

In 2005, Padukone made her fashion runway debut for Suneet Verma at the Lakme Fashion Week and subsequently in 2006, also featured in the music video of Naam Hai Tera alongside Himesh Reshammiya.

The Delhi High Court has refused interim relief to Kishore Biyani’s Future Retail Limited seeking a stay on the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC) judgment of October 21 which had refused to revoke the stay on the proposed deal with the Reliance Group.  The single-judge bench of Justice Suresh Kumar Kait issued notice to Amazon and sought their reply in arbitration appeals preferred by Future Retail limited and Future Coupons Private limited. Future Retail limited (FRL) along with Future Coupons Private limited (FCPL) had moved the Delhi High Court against the ad-interim order passed by Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC) on October 21, whereby the arbitration tribunal had observed, that the stay passed by the Emergency Arbitrator last year was correctly granted. The Emergency Arbitrator in October 2020 had passed an interim award that barred FRL from taking any step to dispose of or encumber its assets or issuing any securities to secure any funding from

The Allahabad High Court has said that live-in relationships have become a part of life and need to be viewed from the perspective of personal autonomy, much more than that of social morality. The Division Bench of Justice Pritinker Diwaker and Justice Ashutosh Srivastava passed this order while hearing a petition filed by Shayara Khatun @ Shaira Khatun And Another from Kushinagar. In this petition, the writ petitioners, who are both major and of different faiths, are stated to be in a live-in-relationship with each other since last more than two years. The petitioners alleged that the respondent no. 4, who is the father of the woman, is interfering in the day-to-today life of the petitioners. The counsel for the petitioners submitted that they have approached the police concerned authorities, but the police are not extending any help and consequently, the life and liberty of the petitioners is undermined. “Live-in relationships have become part and parcel of life and stand approve

The Supreme Court has adjourned the PIL seeking permission for 7 crore Indians administered Covaxin to be administered any other vaccine approved by the WHO since the petitioner is unable to visit abroad since the same is yet to be okayed by WHO. The bench of Justice D.Y. Chandrachud and Justice B.V. Nagarathna observed that it will wait till post-Diwali for WHO approval before moving ahead with any of the directions sought in the PIL. The bench observed that it cannot allow the administration of vaccines again and risk the lives of people without any concrete substance or study.  The petition states that prior to May 1, 2021, Indian citizens were eligible for administering vaccination in Phases I and II of the vaccination campaign and did not have a choice to choose one particular vaccine. Now, people who have been vaccinated with Covaxin are unable to travel to other countries for any emergency reasons, be it personal, educational, or any medical emergency since such nations are no

The Allahabad High Court has held that the trial court under Section 319 of the Code of Criminal Procedure has extraordinary discretionary power to summon a co-accused, which should be used very sparingly and not be applied mechanically. A single-judge bench of Justice Vipin Chandra Dixit passed this order while hearing a petition filed by Rahat Ali. The criminal revision has been filed by the revisionist against the order dated July 23, 2019, passed by Additional Sessions Judge, Moradabad, by application filed by opposite party no.2 under Section 319 of Cr.P.C. was allowed. The brief facts of the case are that the opposite party no.2 had lodged an FIR against unknown persons on November 30, 2017, with the allegation that on the night of 29/30.11.2017 his father Zahid was murdered by some unknown persons and the case was registered as Case in P.S.
