NEW DELHI: Defence minister Rajnath Singh on Friday said “future wars will not be won solely through weaponry, but through innovative thinking and enhanced synergy” and advised commanders of the three services to cultivate the “element of surprise in any given situation as it’s must to secure a strategic edge”.Addressing the second edition of Joint Commanders’ Conference in Jaipur on Friday, the defence minister underscored the need to strengthen capabilities in artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, data analytics and secure communication networks to stay prepared in the rapidly-evolving geopolitical security scenario. He also advised commanders to remain vigilant of the element of surprise of the enemy and always stay two steps ahead.He emphasised that future conflicts will increasingly be shaped by hybrid threats, information dominance and operations conducted simultaneously across cyber, space, electromagnetic and cognitive domains. Highlighting the transformative impact of emerging technologies, he stressed on the importance of ensuring integrated national preparedness across all spectrums of conflict.Rajnath appreciated the progress achieved in enhancing jointness, integration and technological adoption across the three services. He stated that jointness constitutes a pivotal dimension within the transformative changes sweeping across the global defence sector. “Future wars will not be won solely through weaponry, but through innovative thinking and enhanced synergy,” he said.Calling upon the commanders to remain future-ready by learning from Operation Sindoor as well as the current global security landscape, Rajnath said, “Op Sindoor is a testament to the swift, precise, and joint response of the Indian defence forces to safeguard national interests”.Releasing a documentary film on Operation Sindoor, he described it was a short-duration, deep-penetration, high-intensity, and high-impact operation, which showcased India’s ability to compel its adversary to surrender. The operation was a demonstration of India’s growing capabilities and a symbol of the nation’s collective resolve and new military ethos, he said.Rajnath reiterated the govt’s commitment to enhancing the capabilities of the defence forces through state-of-the-art weapons and platforms. He added that special focus is being laid on research in niche domains. He also released the Hindi Version of Vision 2047 and the Joint Doctrine for Integrated Communication Architecture, aimed at strengthening doctrinal clarity, interoperability and integrated communications across the armed forces in future multi-domain operations.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosVijay Claims Support Of 118 MLAs, Likely To Take Oath As Tamil Nadu CM TomorrowTN Political Crisis Deepens: Stalin Pushes Governor For Swift ActionAir India AI 171 Crash Probe In Final Stage, Report Likely Within A MonthTwo States, Two Big Winners: Suvendu Gets Bengal, Vijay Eyes Tamil NaduShah Hails BJP’s Historic Bengal Victory, Credits People’s Faith In ModiBJP Names Suvendu Adhikari As West Bengal’s First BJP Chief MinisterViral MLA Preference List Shows KC Venugopal Claiming Majority Support As Kerala CMTMC Leader Kunal Ghosh Says Bengal Violence Must Be Viewed From Two Different PerspectivesCongress-DMK Split And TVK Support Trigger Fresh INDIA Alliance TensionsPakistan’s Bizarre ‘Why Speak English?’ Reaction After India Details Op Sindoor Strikes123Photostories5 Incredible animals with no cordsThink crocodiles are just dangerous?

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court Friday said it would not direct the clubbing of FIRs against a person accused of duping thousands of investors across states while rejecting a plea by Sameer Agrawal of Saga group who fled to Dubai after allegedly misappropriating Rs 10,000 crore maturity amounts of depositors in a cooperative society.Appearing for the absconding accused, senior advocate R Basant told a bench of CJI Surya Kant and Justice Joymlaya Bagchi the court had in the past clubbed FIRs if these were premised on the same fundamental allegations to avoid the accused going from state to state to attend trial.CJI Kant said when a person cheats thousands of investors, then each incident becomes the subject matter of an independent FIR. There are 33 FIRs against Agrawal in UP, Uttarakhand, Madhya Pradesh and Haryana for failing to pay the maturity amounts to depositors.”Clubbing of FIRs is a bonanza for the accused. Those who are duped would have to travel long distances to depose before the court while the accused enjoys sitting in one place. The probe agencies should net this person and bring him to India to face trial,” it said. “If a group of people who are duped come together for the clubbing of the FIRs, the court will consider. Our approach must be victim-centric.” It said if the accused deposits Rs 10,000 crore for refund, the court would consider his plea.

NEW DELHI: National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) has for the first time tracked the cases of cruelty against animals and compiled the data, noting registration of 9,039 cases and arrest of 10,312 persons in the country in 2024.Maharashtra recorded highest number (2,356) of such cases followed by Madhya Pradesh (1,346), Uttar Pradesh (1,121), Gujarat (526) and Tamil Nadu (457).The data tracks animal cruelty cases under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960, ranging from FIR registration and investigation to filing of chargesheet and court disposal. It gives India its first national-level statistical picture of how animal cruelty offences are handled by the system.The report shows the police disposed of nearly 77% (6,969) of the total cases with 2,070 cases, approximately 23%, pending investigation at year-end in 2024.The bureau also separately records 8,660 cases of animal theft, valued at Rs 48.8 crore, with a recovery rate of nearly 45%, exceeding the national average for property crimes.”The formal recording of crimes under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act by the NCRB is a significant step toward transparency and data driven governance. While many cases still go unreported, moving from anecdotes to hard data allows us to clearly see how the system is functioning,” said the animal welfare activist, Gauri Maulekhi.She told TOI that the dataset provides a valuable roadmap to examine the entire criminal justice chain, from police responsiveness to judicial resolution. “Overall, this is a major step in the right direction for our legal system and a strong foundation for future progress,” said Maulekhi.At the trial stage, the data reflects a high conviction rate of more than 80%, rising to nearly 94% in metropolitan areas, demonstrating that cases which reach conclusion are largely supported by evidence. At the same time, over 82% of cases remain pending for trial before courts, pointing to significant delays in judicial disposal.Calling the NCRB’s move a “historic step”, Shreemoyee Chakraborty from the People For Animals said, “This is a step in the right direction by the govt and marks an important shift in how animal cruelty is recognised within India’s criminal justice system.”About the AuthorVishwa MohanVishwa Mohan is Senior Editor at The Times of India.

NEW DELHI: Observing that no person can be permitted to profit from his own wrongdoing, SC on Friday held that a person accused of committing murder or abetting in the murder of another person would be barred from inheriting the victim’s property.A bench of Justices J B Pardiwala and R Mahadevan said such disqualification on inheriting property applied to both intestate and testamentary succession and clarified the bar would be applicable even if the trial was still on. Intestate succession takes place in accordance with rules of personal law governing inheritance. Testamentary succession takes place when property is bequeathed through a will.”A person accused of the murder of one from whom inheritance is claimed is disentitled from asserting rights, not only under Section 25 of Hindu Succession Act, but also on the principles of justice, fair play and equity. Strict proof is not indispensable in civil proceedings if the preponderance of probabilities points to commission of the offence,” SC said. “Section 25 of the Hindu Succession Act provides that a person who commits murder or abets the commission of murder shall be disqualified from inheriting the property of the person murdered, or any other property in furtherance of the succession to which such person committed or abetted the commission of murder…” The bench said the principle underlying the provision “is founded upon public policy, justice, and good conscience, namely, that no person can be permitted to profit from his own wrong”.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosVijay Claims Support Of 118 MLAs, Likely To Take Oath As Tamil Nadu CM TomorrowTN Political Crisis Deepens: Stalin Pushes Governor For Swift ActionAir India AI 171 Crash Probe In Final Stage, Report Likely Within A MonthTwo States, Two Big Winners: Suvendu Gets Bengal, Vijay Eyes Tamil NaduShah Hails BJP’s Historic Bengal Victory, Credits People’s Faith In ModiBJP Names Suvendu Adhikari As West Bengal’s First BJP Chief MinisterViral MLA Preference List Shows KC Venugopal Claiming Majority Support As Kerala CMTMC Leader Kunal Ghosh Says Bengal Violence Must Be Viewed From Two Different PerspectivesCongress-DMK Split And TVK Support Trigger Fresh INDIA Alliance TensionsPakistan’s Bizarre ‘Why Speak English?’ Reaction After India Details Op Sindoor Strikes123PhotostoriesThink crocodiles are just dangerous?
