(PTI Photo/Shahbaz Khan) New Delhi: Supreme Court on Tuesday came to the rescue of 12 life convicts, who had undergone a total sentence of 12 years in jail, acquitting all of them in a 2008 murder case in Assam by holding that proper investigation was not done by police.Pointing fault in the probe, which could have been because of “ignorance, inefficiency or malicious motivation”, the Supreme Court began its verdict by saying “an inept investigation or a scripted enquiry, both are fatal to criminal prosecution but the latter has lethal consequences when there is a possibility of totally innocent persons being crucified”. A bench of Justices Sanjay Kumar and K Vinod Chandran accepted advocate Talha Abdul Rahman’s petition, which pointed out various loopholes in the prosecution’s story. The court said there was no sufficient proof to prove culpability of the accused in the case and set aside the orders of the trial court as well as the Gauhati HC of conviction and sentence. It asked Assam govt to take steps to give proper training to its police force. “It is unfortunate that the police officer who reached the spot immediately after the incident took place, failed to follow due procedure to put the criminal investigation in motion as per the CrPC,” the bench said. “Be it ignorance, inefficiency or malicious motivation, the crime is left unresolved, and considerable time and money has been spent in the prosecution of 16 persons, some of whom died during trial and the others suffered incarceration for long periods,” it said. The state and its home department “would do well to better equip their officers in investigating crimes and educating them of due procedure”, the bench said. SC noted that despite police having reached the spot immediately after the assault, in which one person was allegedly killed and two others injured grievously, no attempt was made to collect the blood spilled at the spot, so as to match it with that of the deceased and the injured. The bench said weapons seized were neither sent for forensic analysis nor were the accused confronted to eyewitnesses or the doctor who conducted postmortem.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosBengal Phase 2 Polls: 142 Constituencies Vote Today, Over 3.21 Crore Voters to DecideChokepoints of Power: how India can ‘trump’ China on the seasSwati Maliwal’s Explosive Exit: Assault Allegations, ‘Betrayal’ Charges Rock AAP As She Joins BJPIndian Aviation Sector Warns Of Possible Shutdown Amid Soaring Fuel CostsUNGA Chief Hails India’s Global Role, Calls India’s Leadership Central To MultilateralismIndia To Receive Fourth Unit Of S-400 Missile Systems From Russia, To Be Deployed In RajasthanISRO-s Big Shift- Civilians To Join Gaganyaan Missions – India-s Space Programme Expands”Online Radicalisation Led To…” Maharashtra CM On ISIS-Inspired AttackIndia’s Defence Spending Hits $92 Bn, Becomes World’s 5th Largest Amid Global Military SurgeIs Rafale deal with France stuck?

Attorney general R Venkataramani filed the status report on behalf of Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C), operating under ministry of home affairs (MHA), after the interdepartmental committee deliberated measures to curb “digital arrest” scams with department of telecom, Reserve Bank of India, ministry of information technology, representatives of telecom service providers and WhatsApp. The statement of WhatsApp is significant as the encrypted messaging service has been used in diverse jurisdictions to avoid detection. On the discussion with the social media major, the status report said, “WhatsApp will continue strengthening AI/ML-based systems to detect impersonation of law enforcement agencies, misuse of official logos.” “WhatsApp informed that detection models and warning mechanisms have been introduced to identify impersonation patterns and alert users in suspicious interactions,” the report said, adding that the popular social media platform assured to undertake additional safeguards to detect and mitigate prolonged scam calls, as seen in digital arrest cases, and submit proposed technical measures within a month. “WhatsApp further ensured to cooperate with Law Enforcement Agencies and I4C, including timely action on shared signals related to scam networks, impersonation of law enforcement agencies, and fraudulent activities conducted through the platform,” it said. The status report detailed a series of steps under implementation – biometric identity verification prior to issuance of SIM cards by all telecom service providers (TSPs) and national database on SIM card holders of all TSPs. “DoT, in coordination with TSPs, to ensure that the technical system for national-level visibility of SIM issuance across operators is implemented within six months thereafter, so that the BIVS (Biometric Idenity Verification System)-based cross-operator SIM monitoring system becomes operational within a total period of nine months, before Dec 2026,” it said. In an important step to stop fake telemarketers and cybercriminals from using multiple SIMs, the Centre told the SC that TSPs have been asked to “develop mechanisms to prevent misuse of multiple PoS (Point of Sale) identities by the same individual, including improved identity verification and PoS traceability “measures.”End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosBengal Phase 2 Polls: 142 Constituencies Vote Today, Over 3.21 Crore Voters to DecideChokepoints of Power: how India can ‘trump’ China on the seasSwati Maliwal’s Explosive Exit: Assault Allegations, ‘Betrayal’ Charges Rock AAP As She Joins BJPIndian Aviation Sector Warns Of Possible Shutdown Amid Soaring Fuel CostsUNGA Chief Hails India’s Global Role, Calls India’s Leadership Central To MultilateralismIndia To Receive Fourth Unit Of S-400 Missile Systems From Russia, To Be Deployed In RajasthanISRO-s Big Shift- Civilians To Join Gaganyaan Missions – India-s Space Programme Expands”Online Radicalisation Led To…” Maharashtra CM On ISIS-Inspired AttackIndia’s Defence Spending Hits $92 Bn, Becomes World’s 5th Largest Amid Global Military SurgeIs Rafale deal with France stuck?

(PTI Photo/Shahbaz Khan) New Delhi: With many students from disadvantaged sections still not getting admission in neighbourhood schools under Right to Education Act (RTE) because of disagreements between govt authorities and school managements, Supreme Court on Tuesday stressed that pending grievances cannot be a ground for educational institutions to deny admission to such students and the same can be dealt with subsequently. Emphasising that interests of students should not be hampered because of a tug-of-war between govt authorities and school managements, a bench of Justices P S Narasimha and Alok Aradhe said, “We find that schools, like the petitioner’s that may have some disagreement with the selection by govt, can make representation to the concerned authority, but they ought not wait for the outcome of such a representation and are mandated to grant admission to the student whose name finds mention in list forwarded to the school in the interregnum. This immediacy is essential to actualise the promise of Article 21A of the Indian Constitution.” The court said the law should be implemented in letter and spirit as providing free elementary education to children from weaker sections and disadvantaged groups is a national mission. “This model envisages the school as a civic space that breaks down barriers of caste, class and gender, thereby advancing substantive social justice,” it said.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosBengal Phase 2 Polls: 142 Constituencies Vote Today, Over 3.21 Crore Voters to DecideChokepoints of Power: how India can ‘trump’ China on the seasSwati Maliwal’s Explosive Exit: Assault Allegations, ‘Betrayal’ Charges Rock AAP As She Joins BJPIndian Aviation Sector Warns Of Possible Shutdown Amid Soaring Fuel CostsUNGA Chief Hails India’s Global Role, Calls India’s Leadership Central To MultilateralismIndia To Receive Fourth Unit Of S-400 Missile Systems From Russia, To Be Deployed In RajasthanISRO-s Big Shift- Civilians To Join Gaganyaan Missions – India-s Space Programme Expands”Online Radicalisation Led To…” Maharashtra CM On ISIS-Inspired AttackIndia’s Defence Spending Hits $92 Bn, Becomes World’s 5th Largest Amid Global Military SurgeIs Rafale deal with France stuck?

He had said masjid is the spirit of Islam and constituted core belief of Muslims.In the Ramesh Yeshwant Prabhoo judgment, SC had said, “When we think of Hindu religion, we find it difficult, if not impossible, to define Hindu religion or even adequately describe it.””Unlike other religions in the world, Hindu religion does not claim any one prophet; it does not worship any one God;it does not believe in any one philosophic concept; it does not follow any one set of religious rites or performances; in fact, it does not appear to satisfy the narrow traditional features of any religion or creed. It may broadly be described as a way of life and nothing more,” the court had said.”Ordinarily, Hindutva is understood as a way of life or a state of mind, and it is not to be equated with or understood as religious Hindu fundamentalism… The words ‘Hinduism’ or ‘Hindutva’ are not necessarily to be understood and construed narrowly, confined only to the strict Hindu religious practices unrelated to the culture and ethos of the people of India, depicting the way of life of the Indian people,” it has said in the judgment.In the Ismail Faruqui judgment, SC had ruled, “A mosque is not an essential part of practice of the religion of Islam and Namazby Muslims can be offered anywhere, even in the open. Accordingly, its acquisition (of disputed site) is not prohibited by the provisions in the Constitution of India.”End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosBengal Phase 2 Polls: 142 Constituencies Vote Today, Over 3.21 Crore Voters to DecideChokepoints of Power: how India can ‘trump’ China on the seasSwati Maliwal’s Explosive Exit: Assault Allegations, ‘Betrayal’ Charges Rock AAP As She Joins BJPIndian Aviation Sector Warns Of Possible Shutdown Amid Soaring Fuel CostsUNGA Chief Hails India’s Global Role, Calls India’s Leadership Central To MultilateralismIndia To Receive Fourth Unit Of S-400 Missile Systems From Russia, To Be Deployed In RajasthanISRO-s Big Shift- Civilians To Join Gaganyaan Missions – India-s Space Programme Expands”Online Radicalisation Led To…” Maharashtra CM On ISIS-Inspired AttackIndia’s Defence Spending Hits $92 Bn, Becomes World’s 5th Largest Amid Global Military SurgeIs Rafale deal with France stuck?

Urging all those voting today to do so in record numbers and make our democracy more vibrant as well as participative. It is important that the women and youth of West Bengal, in particular, turnout in large numbers and exercise their franchise,” PM Modi said in a post on X.Voting began on Wednesday across 142 constituencies in the second and final phase of the West Bengal Assembly elections, with extensive security arrangements in place and a high-stakes contest unfolding between the ruling TMC and the BJP. The outcome of this phase is expected to be crucial in determining whether the TMC retains its dominance in the southern districts or if the BJP can make significant inroads into the state’s power structure.Polling commenced at 7.00 am, with voters queuing up outside booths in Kolkata, Howrah, North 24 Parganas, South 24 Parganas, Nadia, Hooghly and Purba Bardhaman, regions that form the political and electoral core of the state.Unlike the first phase, where the BJP focused on defending its gains in north Bengal, the final round shifts the contest squarely to the TMC’s stronghold. In the 2021 Assembly elections, the ruling party had secured 123 of these 142 seats, while the BJP managed 18 and the ISF one.At the centre of the contest is Bhabanipur, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s political bastion, where she is locked in a high-profile battle against Leader of Opposition Suvendu Adhikari. The contest is being seen as a symbolic rematch of Nandigram, where Adhikari had defeated Banerjee in the 2021 elections.A total of 3.21 crore voters are eligible to cast their ballots in this phase, including 1.57 crore women and 792 third-gender electors. Voting is taking place across 41,001 polling stations, all of which are under webcasting surveillance to ensure transparency.The Election Commission of India has deployed 2,321 companies of central forces across seven districts, with Kolkata receiving the highest deployment of 273 companies.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.
