This is the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I'm Ichha Sharma.Today is the 15th of April and here are this week's headlines.India's retail inflation in March dropped to 3.34%, the lowest since August 2019, as food prices continued to ease, according to government data. This figure was below economists' expectations of 3.60%, and down from February's 3.61%. The sharp decline may provide room for the Reserve Bank of India to consider deeper interest rate cuts amid global concerns triggered by the U.S.-China trade war. Lower inflation could boost economic stability and consumer demand, especially at a time when global growth remains uncertain due to ongoing geopolitical tensions.The Enforcement Directorate filed a chargesheet against Congress leaders Sonia and Rahul Gandhi in the National Herald money laundering case. Special Judge Vishal Gogne reviewed the chargesheet on April 9 to consider cognisance and scheduled further proceedings for April 25. Other individuals named include senior Congress leaders Sam Pitroda and Suman Dubey. The case, which has long been politically contentious, involves allegations of financial irregularities linked to the now-defunct National Herald newspaper, formerly owned by Congress-linked entities. The ED's action intensifies legal scrutiny on the Gandhi family and Congress leadership.The Supreme Court criticised the Allahabad High Court for its March 11 remarks suggesting a rape complainant “invited trouble” and was “responsible” for the incident. The apex court said judges must be cautious and sensitive in such cases. A bench led by Justices B R Gavai and A G Masih was hearing another matter when it addressed the High Court's observations, also citing a March 17 order that downplayed acts like breast grabbing and pulling pyjama drawstrings as insufficient for rape charges. The SC's response highlights concern over judicial insensitivity in sexual assault cases.Former U.S. President Barack Obama praised Harvard University for defying the Trump administration after it froze $2.3 billion in federal funding. The White House demanded changes to admissions policies, including "merit-based" hiring, limited student activism, and a government-led audit of campus diversity. Harvard President Alan Garber rejected these requirements, and Obama called the university's stance a model for other institutions. The funding freeze follows tensions over campus freedoms and DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) policies. Obama's support emphasizes academic independence in the face of political pressure from government bodies.In response to new U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods, China has reportedly instructed its airlines to stop buying Boeing jets, escalating trade tensions. Bloomberg sources say the ban also applies to U.S. aircraft parts, likely increasing operational costs for existing Boeing fleets in China. The move adds further strain to Boeing, whose shares fell 3% in premarket trading. China is one of Boeing's largest markets, where European rival Airbus already has a stronger presence. The development reflects worsening ties as the U.S.-China trade war spreads into high-stakes sectors like aviation.This was the CatchUp on 3 Things by The Indian Express.

This is the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I'm Flora Swain.Today is the 3rd of February and here are the headlines.Rahul Gandhi, Leader of Opposition, alleged that 70 lakh voters were added to Maharashtra's electoral rolls between the Lok Sabha and state elections. He demanded that the Election Commission provide voter data to opposition parties. Gandhi questioned the integrity of the 2022 Maharashtra polls and expressed doubt that the EC would release the requested details. He emphasized that the Constitution relies on secure votes, without which its significance is diminished.In his reply to the President's address, Rahul Gandhi criticized both the UPA and NDA governments for failing to provide a clear employment plan for India's youth. He expressed dissatisfaction with President Murmu's inaugural address, calling it similar to past speeches.

Jaishankar responded to Rahul Gandhi's claims regarding his U.S. visit in December 2024. Gandhi had alleged that Jaishankar went to the U.S. to secure an invitation for PM Modi's attendance at Trump's inauguration. Jaishankar denied the accusation, stating that his visit was for meetings with U.S. officials and to chair a consuls general gathering. He clarified that the Prime Minister typically does not attend such events and India is represented by special envoys.The Supreme Court called the January 29 stampede at the Maha Kumbh “unfortunate” but directed the petitioner to approach the Allahabad High Court, where a judicial commission had already been set up to investigate the incident. Chief Justice Sanjiv Khanna, hearing the case, stated that the matter was concerning but advised that the High Court be approached. Senior advocate Mukul Rohatgi confirmed that the judicial commission was already in place to address the issue.U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) staffers were instructed to stay out of the agency's Washington headquarters after Elon Musk claimed he and President Trump had agreed to shut down USAID.

Daily News Brief by TRT World

*) Isolated, US & Israel see UN states back report on Israeli genocide in Gaza The UN expert who concluded Israel was committing acts of genocide in besieged Gaza has received broad support at the United Nations, with countries speaking up to back her and her report. Francesca Albanese, the special rapporteur on human rights in the Palestinian territories, told the UN Human Rights Council that countries should impose an arms embargo and sanctions on Israel. Albanese said Israel was characterising the entire Palestinian population in besieged Gaza as “targetable, killable and destroyable” and had ostentatiously laid bare its “genocidal intent” to “rid Palestine of Palestinians.” *) ‘He swam to get food for his children': 12 drown as US drops aid off Gaza Palestinian resistance group Hamas has demanded a halt to aid airdrops after 18 people drowned while attempting to reach the dropped supplies. The group said Israel must lift its brutal siege and allow aid into Gaza via land crossings. Six people were killed in stampedes and 12 others drowned off the territory's Mediterranean coast trying to salvage aid packages. *) Russia claims downing 18 airborne targets in Belgorod Russia has claimed that its air defence units downed 18 airborne targets over the southern region of Belgorod bordering Ukraine, the regional governor said. Writing on the Telegram messaging app, the governor of the Belgorod region said one person was injured and there was damage to private homes and cars. Ukraine has been staging air attacks for months on Belgorod and two nearby regions, Kursk and Voronezh. *) India court bans Muslim religious schools in UP state ahead of election A court in India has effectively banned Muslim religious schools in the country's most populous state of Uttar Pradesh. The ruling last week scraps a 2004 law governing Muslim religious schools in Uttar Pradesh, saying it violates India's constitutional secularism and ordering that students be moved to conventional schools. The Allahabad High Court order affects 2.7 million students and 10,000 teachers in 25,000 religious schools across the state. *) Türkiye stands firm against false claims of defence ties with Israel Türkiye has rejected allegations of cooperation with Israel, particularly defence-based cooperation, saying the country will not do anything that will harm Palestinians and their cause. The country's defence ministry said, “It is not possible for the Republic of Türkiye, which has always supported Palestine, to carry out or engage in any activity that would harm Palestinians.” The statement came after false claims by some media outlets that Türkiye continues to export gunpowder, weapons and ammunition to Israel.

While still frowned upon in most parts of the country, live-in relationships are becoming increasingly common. Couples can choose not to get married for a number of reasons and still stay together, share a household and possibly children. So how legal are these relationships in India?  In a recent judgement, the Allahabad High Court refused to grant protection to an inter-faith couple in a live-in relationship and even stressed upon the need to create awareness about the emotional and societal pressures and legal hassles that may be created through such relationships. The Supreme Court however, over the years, has recognised the personal liberty of individuals involved, and, in a number of judgements conferred certain rights – for instance, live-in relationships can be covered under the protection from domestic violence law. But what happens in the case of separations, alimony and children? Are these protections available to same sex and queer couples? With the increasing harassment faced by inter-caste and inter-religious couples in the country, where even getting married has become challenging, do live-in relationships require more legal security?

What is sedition law?

Can a cartoon stir unrest and bring down an elected government. Police in Maharashtra thought so when they had arrested Aseem Trivedi ten years ago for sedition. Then 24, Trivedi had tried to highlight corruption through his cartoons. The sedition case went on for several years before being struck down by Bombay High Court in 2015. The case was gone, but the stigma stayed. And Trivedi, a Kanpur lad, quit the profession forever. On Thursday, when the Supreme Court put the sedition law in abeyance, Trivedi heaved a sigh of relief. Not only because he was a victim of the IPC's section 124 (A), but also because he was one of the petitioners seeking scrapping of the law. From cartoonists to stand-up comedians and satirists to small political activists and opposition leaders, sedition law has been invoked by police in various states at what experts call a very low threshold. While arguing their case, experts point out the difference between treason and sedition. The first one is an act done against the state while the latter is against the government of the day. And criticising the government, they say, should not be penalised. Some even say that even a court decision should be under the purview of criticism. In 2016, the Allahabad High Court had held that criticism of the judiciary or a court ruling is not sedition. Former BJP leader and Union minister Arun Jaitley was the petitioner in the case. Section 124A of the Indian Penal Code, which is the law against sedition, was introduced in 1870 by the British government. And it was Thomas Macaulay who had introduced the law while drafting the penal codes. Its purpose was to stop Indian colonial subjects from expressing dissent against Britain's rule. At that time, sedition was also an offence under Britain's own penal code. While Macaulay's own country expunged the law in 2016, it stays in India.   In the first two hearings, the central government tried to defend the law. But on the third one, on Wednesday, it told the apex court that it was reviewing it. The next hearing will take place in July now, while one of three judges listening to the case, CJI NV Ramanna, retires in August.  So what does the law say? Under British rule, the punishment prescribed was transportation “beyond the seas for the term of his or her natural life”. This was amended to life imprisonment in 1955. It is still a harsh law and entails a maximum punishment of life imprisonment for anyone who, “by words spoken or written, or by visible representation… brings into hatred or contempt, or excites or attempts to excite disaffection towards the government established by law.” And, how did the British use it? During the Independence movement, this law was used extensively to try and crush political dissent. In fact, some of the prominent pre-independence cases where Section 124A was involved were against freedom fighters like Bal Gangadhar Tilak

  This is an old case, originally1991 का मामला है ये। वाराणसी की एक अदालत में 1991 में कुछ याचिकाएं दायर की गई थीं। याचिकाकरता ज़्यादातर स्थानीय पुजारी थे जिनकी मांग थी कि ज्ञानवापी  मस्जिद में उन्हें पूजा-अर्चना करने दी जाए। उन याचिकाकर्ताओं का ही यही मनना था कि मुग़ल शासन के वक़्त औरंगज़ेब ने उस मंदिर को तुड़वा कर वहां मस्जिद बनवाई थी।   तो अब ये मुद्दा क्यों उठाया जा रहा है?   वाराणसी में रह रहे वकील विजय शंकर रस्तोगी ने वाराणसी के lower court में  काशी विश्वनाथ मंदिर के पीठासीन देवता के ‘next friend' बन कर ये याचिका दायर की। ‘Next Friend' उन्हें कहा जाता है जो किसी और की ओर से याचिका दायर करते हैं जो अपने लिए खड़ा नहीं हो सकता। मामला निष्क्रिय रहा और इलाहाबाद High Court ने सुनवाई भी टाल दी। लेकिन अयोध्या के बाबरी मस्जिद-राम जन्मभूमि विवाद में सुप्रीम कोर्ट के फैसले के एक महीने बाद दिसंबर 2019 में ज्ञानवापी मामले को दोबारा खरोंचा जाने लगा। याचिकाकर्ता रस्तोगी ने Swayambhu Jyotirling Bhagwan Vishweshwar के प्रतिनिधि के रूप में ज्ञानवापी मस्जिद के पुरातात्विक सर्वेक्षण यानी कि archaeological survey की मांग की। उनका दावा था कि ज्ञानवापी मस्जिद अवैध रूप से बनाई गई है।   रस्तोगी की याचिका पर नए सिरे से सुनवाई हुई और उस के बाद वाराणसी की अदालत ने इस साल अप्रैल में ज्ञानवापी मस्जिद के ढांचे के सर्वे का आदेश दिया था।   वाराणसी की अदालत ने ASI को सर्वेक्षण करने और अपनी रिपोर्ट सौंपने के लिए experts की पांच सदस्यीय समिति बैठाने करने का निर्देश दिया।   उत्तर प्रदेश सुन्नी सेंट्रल वक्फ बोर्ड और ज्ञानवापी मस्जिद चलाने वाली अंजुमन इंतजामिया मस्जिद कमेटी ने रस्तोगी की याचिका का विरोध किया।   उन्होंने ज्ञानवापी मस्जिद के सर्वेक्षण के वाराणसी अदालत के आदेश का भी विरोध किया।   फिर बीच में आना पड़ा Allahabad High Court को   मामला इलाहाबाद हाईकोर्ट तक पहुंचा। High Court ने दोनों पक्षों को सुनते हुए गुरुवार को ASI को सर्वे करने के निर्देश पर अंतरिम रोक लगाने का आदेश दिया।   Allahabad High Court के इस फैसले का बेस था Places of Worship Act, 1991. ये कानून कहता है कि 15 अगस्त, 1947 को जिस पूजा स्थल का धार्मिक चरित्र जैसा है वो वैसा ही रहेगा। अगर कोई मंदिर है तो मंदिर रहेगा, मस्जिद है तो मस्जिद और worship-place पर कोई बदलाव नहीं होगा। ये कानून Narasimha Rao के समय आया था।    निचली अदालत और उच्च न्यायालय दोनों में याचिकाकर्ता ने तर्क दिया कि 1991 का ये अधिनियम ज्ञानवापी मस्जिद पर लागू नहीं होता है क्योंकि 17 वीं शताब्दी में मस्जिद बनाने के लिए काशी विश्वनाथ मंदिर का एक हिस्सा ध्वस्त कर दिया गया था।   Places of Worship Act, 1980 के दशक के अंत और 1990 के दशक की शुरुआत में अयोध्या में राम मंदिर के निर्माण के अभियान के backdrop में आया था। बाबरी मस्जिद-राम जन्मभूमि मामले में अदालत ने exception दिया। लेकिन हाँ, ये भी कहा गया कि बाकी किसी मामले में ये लागू होगा।   मगर ये विवाद समझना ज़रूरी क्यों है?   ज्ञानवापी मस्जिद विवाद भारतीय जनता पार्टी (BJP), विश्व हिंदू परिषद (VHP) और राष्ट्रीय स्वयंसेवक संघ (RSS) ने दोबारा खरोंचा था जब अयोध्या में राम मंदिर निर्माण का अभियान चल रहा था। 3 धार्मिक जगहों के नाम थे इस manifesto में। एक तो राम जन्म भूमि दूसरा ज्ञानवापी मस्जिद और तीसरा धार्मिक स्थल मथुरा में शाही ईदगाह मस्जिद। प्रचारकों ने कहा कि शाही ईदगाह मस्जिद का निर्माण भगवान कृष्ण के जन्मस्थान पर एक मंदिर को तोड़कर किया गया था। मथुरा में एक लोकल अदालत के सामने एक अलग मामला है, जो मथुरा में कटरा केशव देव मंदिर परिसर - भगवान कृष्ण की जन्मभूमि - को दोबारा लेने की मांग कर रहा है। मथुरा कोर्ट ने इस साल फरवरी में इन केस के पार्टियों को नोटिस जारी किया था।   मगर आख़िर में बात ये है कि क्या क्या धारणाएं हैं ज्ञानवापी मस्जिद के इर्द-गिर्द और इतनी सारी संभावनाओं को याचिकाकर्ता साबित या उसका खंडन कैसे करंगे   आमतौर पर यह माना जाता है कि ज्ञानवापी मस्जिद का निर्माण औरंगजेब के आदेश पर काशी विश्वनाथ मंदिर के एक हिस्से को नष्ट करने के बाद किया गया था।   हालांकि, कुछ इतिहासकारों ने कहा है कि मस्जिद का निर्माण 14 वीं शताब्दी में जौनपुर (उत्तर प्रदेश) के एक शर्की सुल्तान ने किया था। इतिहासकार कहते हैं कि शर्की सुल्तान ने काशी विश्वनाथ मंदिर को गिराने का आदेश दिया था।   कुछ और इतिहासकारों का कहना है कि काशी विश्वनाथ मंदिर वास्तव में मुगल सम्राट अकबर के समय में बनाया गया था या फिर से बनाया गया था। अकबर के मंत्री टोडरमल ने मंदिर का निर्माण करवाया था। कहा जाता है कि टोडरमल ने दक्षिण भारत के एक विशेषज्ञ नारायण भट को काशी विश्वनाथ मंदिर के निर्माण की निगरानी के लिए कहा था।   एक और नज़रिया ये है कि काशी विश्वनाथ मंदिर और ज्ञानवापी मस्जिद दोनों का निर्माण अकबर ने अपने एक धार्मिक experiment, दीन-ए-इलाही को आगे बढ़ाने के लिए किया था।आप सभी ने दीन-ए-इलाही के बारे में कैशा 5-6 में पढ़ा तो होगा ही। ज्ञानवापी मस्जिद के प्रभारी अंजुमन इंतेजामिया मस्जिद समिति ने इस स्टैंड को बरकरार रखा है।   Conclusion: Time: 9.12 - 10.45 अब इतने दावों के बीच एक बात जो  साबित की जा चुकी है दस्तावेज़ों से, वो ये है कि मौजूदा काशी विश्वनाथ मंदिर का निर्माण इंदौर की रानी अहिल्याबाई ने 1735 के आसपास कराया था, औरंगजेब की मरने के लगभग दो दशक बाद   अब देखिये इतनी धारणाएं हैं, कहीं कुछ लिखा है कहीं कुछ। अब तो ये अदालत ही फैसला करेगी कि सच क्या है और झूठ जय है। मगर दिक्कत ये है कि लोगों का अदालतों पर से विश्वास भी डगमगा सा गया है। और शायद यही वजह है कि समाज में इतनी बेचैनी देखने को मिलती है। अब इस मसले पर जो भी update आएगा, वो हम आपको ज़रूर बताएंगे। मगर फिलहाल मैं चलती हूँ। मिलूंगी अगले FYI में with a new topic. आप अपना ख्याल रखें और सुनते रहे ABP Live Podcasts की पेशकश FYI   Host and Producer: @jhansiserani Sound designer: @lalit1121992

Miss Conduct: A True Crime Podcast

GUEST ON BOARD: We are joined by Priya Mirza, who teaches political science at Zakir Husain Delhi College. Priya is the host of The Longest Constitution podcast, which looks at how the vision of the Constitution and how it affects everyday life! On 12th June 1975, 4 years after the 1971 Indian general elections, incumbent Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was found guilty by the Allahabad High Court of electoral malpractices. The complaint against her was filed by Raj Narain, her opposing candidate in the constituency of Rae Baraeli. The Court convicted her of election fraud, stripped her of her parliamentary seat, unseated her as the Prime Minister, and barred her from holding office for another 6 years. And how did Mrs. Gandhi respond? By locking down the entire country under an “Emergency” for over 2 years. Mrs. Gandhi also followed this up by passing the 39th Amendment to the Constitution, which barred any court in India from challenging the election of any person to Lok Sabha holding the office of Prime Minister. This Amendment was struck down later by the Supreme Court for trying to amend the Basic Structure of the Constitution. So Mrs. Gandhi was basically told a resounding “NO” at least twice by Indian courts.

Famous Indian Personalities - Everyone Should Know About

Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru was the first Prime Minister of India. He was quite popular among children and they called him Chacha Nehru. He was born on 14th November 1889 in Allahabad. He was the son of Swarup Ran (mother), and Motilal Nehru (father). Both his parents were attached and involved with freedom movements. He studied theosophy in his childhood and got into the Theosophical Society at age thirteen. Nehru's theosophical interests led him to the study of the Buddhist and Hindu scriptures which later culminated in his book “ The Discovery of India”. 1912, Nehru enrolled himself as an advocate of the Allahabad High Court and tried to settle down as a barrister but he was not interested in law. In 1912, Nehru attended an annual session of the Indian National Congress in Patna and joined Indian politics. He took an active part in movements like Home Rule Movement, Non-Cooperation Movement, and many more. In 1919, while he was traveling, he heard General Dyer talking about the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre. Dyer mentioned how satisfied he was after that incident. That's when Nehru decided to get freedom from the Britishers. He was sent to jail almost 9 times and there he wrote many books like his autobiography, “Towards Freedom”, “Letters from a father to his daughter”, “ Discovery of India”, “Glimpses of World History” and more. He was the right hand of Mahatma Gandhi in Indian Independence. They were an active part of the Civil Disobedience Movement, Salt Satyagraha, Quit India Movement. Nehru became the first Prime Minister of Independent India. Later he worked with Sardar Patel to unify India. In 1950 India became Republic. In 1955, he received the Bharat Ratna for his efforts on Indian industrialization. His attire- the jacket with a rose in the pocket and a Nehru cap is his style statement.

Amazon Prime's Tandav, a nine-episode political thriller, began streaming online in mid January and ever since its release, it has received backlash from different parts of the country, especially in the form of 13 FIR's filed against Aparna Purohit, Amazon Prime Video's India creative head, the creators of the show and the cast. The Supreme Court on 5 March granted interim protection from arrest to Aparna Purohit, stating that she will not be arrested provided she cooperates with the investigation.But earlier on 25 February, an Allahabad High Court single-judge bench rejected the anticipatory bail plea filed by Purohit for allegedly “promoting religious enmity” through the show and further stating in its 20-page order that and I quote “the conduct of the applicant shows that she has scant respect for the law of the land and her conduct further disentitles her to any relief from this court."So for today' episode, we will go through what the entire Tandav case is about, what the Allahabad High Court judgement said, what the SC ruling was today and whats next for the case.

Amid reports of rampant harassment and arrests of interfaith couples over anti-love jihad legislations, came an important judgment from the Allahabad High Court, which allows interfaith couples to have a safer registration of their marriages under the Special Marriage Act. On 14 January, a single-judge bench of Justice Vivek Chaudhary held that there is no need to mandatorily publish notices for marriages under the Special Marriage Act as is currently required. The court observed that such mandatory notices invade the fundamental rights of liberty and privacy and also affect a couple's freedom to marry a person of their choice, due to interference from state and non-state actors. What this judgment does, is uphold right to privacy and individual autonomy by leaving it up to the couple if they want to request a marriage officer to publish the notice of their union or to not publish it. This, coming at a time when fringe right-wing mobs and even the police have started interfering in unions of interfaith couples in states like Uttar Pradesh, makes it a significant judgment.

Even after the Allahabad High Court made it clear that two adults could marry anyone they wanted - Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath scored a masterstroke when he brought in an ordinance that requires interfaith couples to take permission form the local DM...2 months in advance. Also any indication of a 'forcible' conversion of religion lead to punishment of upto 10 years. Bhakt Banerjee comes in this episode to explain why the liberal response to this love Jihad episode is unwarranted and that this has been done for women safety - also that there is a evil plot afoot that no one wants to see! *** Subscribe to #TheDeshBhakt to unlock Discord / Exclusive Chats / Content *** PATREON MEMBERSHIP - https://www.patreon.com/thedeshbhakt (International Credit Card / Debit Card) JOIN MEMBERSHIP ON YOUTUBE - https://www.youtube.com/thedeshbhakt/...

582: How UP's "Love Jihad" Ordinance is Detached from Facts

The Big Story

Despite mounting criticism, Yogi Adityanath's government in Uttar Pradesh approved a very controversial ordinance on 24 November – which is seemingly against unlawful religious conversions, but has been repackaged as a way to combat ‘Love Jihad'. This law declares marriages after a conversion without permission to be null and void. As much as love jihad continues to be an unproven conspiracy not just in UP but in India generally, this law provides for up to five years of rigorous imprisonment and Rs 15,000, as penalty. But the punishment is stricter for 'conversions' of minors and women of the SC/ST communities. It comes with up to 10 years of imprisonment and Rs 25,000 as penalty.But this move shockingly comes around the same time when the Allahabad High Court struck down two previous orders by single judges of the same court that Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath had previously quoted as a basis for the anti-love jihad laws. Those verdicts had held that religious conversion purely for the sake of marriage was illegal, but on 11 November, a division bench of Justices Vivek Agarwal and Pankaj Naqvi held that neither of the two rulings were "good law" as they don't consider the "liberty of two matured individuals in choosing a partner or their right to freedom of choice as to with whom they would like to live with." What kind of a precedent is the Yogi government setting with this law that even in the court's view goes against the fundamental rights of citizens, that too without enough evidence to support the government's claims on love jihad?

Today on The Leaders' Brief - People held in the custody of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad or SARS, a federal police force under the Nigerian government, have been subjected to "mock execution, beating, punching and kicking…and sexual violence.” Despite police using force to quell protests, Nigerian youth continue to hit the streets demanding a reform of the country's police force as the #EndSARS campaign gains momentum. India has found itself in the news over the Uttar Pradesh state police's handling of an alleged rape incident that has raised several fundamental questions about the right-wing nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party's rule in the country. The Allahabad High Court, who took up the case suo moto, has said, "the victim was at least entitled to decent cremation in accordance with her religious customs and rituals," and held the district administration responsible for the violation of certain fundamental rights enshrined in the Indian Constitution. German Foreign Minister Heiko Mass asked Turkey to refrain from sending gas exploration missions and causing provocation in the Mediterranean Sea.

On April 15, 2008, in Uttar Pradesh's Amroha district, Shabnam and her lover Saleem, killed the former's entire family. The duo was having an affair and wanted to get married. However, the woman's family was opposed to their marriage. Seven members of a family, including a 10-month-old child, were axed to death on the night of horror. The Sessions court sentenced them to death. However, in 2010, they approached Allahabad High Court but it upheld the death sentenced awarded to them by the sessions court. habnam then filed mercy plea in front of then President Pranab Mukherjee. They also filed a review plea in the Supreme Court. On January 23, Supreme Court reserved its judgment on the review petition filed by the convicts for killing seven members of Shabnam's family in 2008. While hearing the plea, the three-judge bench headed by Chief Justice of India SA Bobde raised questions if the conduct of a convict inside jail can be taken as “mitigating” circumstances for the commutation of the death penalty to life imprisonment. They then went to the Supreme Court. The Court did not budge with the an inch with the death sentence awarded to the convicts.

The Supreme Court delivered two critical judgments on Thursday. However, the Ayodhya-Babri Masjid verdict took precedence over the adultery law in terms of media coverage. Those championing for the construction of Ram Temple at the disputed site in Ayodhya are elated. The Vishwa Hindu Parishad has declared that the ruling has cleared the blockade and paved the way for a Ram Mandir at the Ram Janmabhoomi.The three-judge Bench of Chief Justice Dipak Misra, Justices Ashok Bhushan and S Abdul Nazeer – in 2:1 majority judgement – declined to refer the Ayodhya-Ram Janmabhoomi title dispute to a larger Bench. It also refused to reconsider the 1994 Ismail Faruqi judgement that stated mosque was not an integral part of Islam. However, the Apex court also maintained that the 1994 verdict would have no bearing on the present title suit. The SC will start the hearing of the title suit from October 29. Newslaundry spoke to Zafarul Islam Khan, chairperson of Delhi Minorities Commission and Islamic scholar, on the issue. Khan said the SC verdict is not a “setback” for the minority community.“The court has said that 1994 verdict will have no bearing on the present case. It is (the SC verdict) is a welcome move,” he said. “The issue here is the title of the land – whether it belongs to this or that party (Hindus or Muslims). The Supreme Court or any other court should decide (the tittle-ship) case in the light of the law of the land and the Constitution,” Khan said. He said that the no court should decide on issues whether a Mosque, Temple or Church is an integral part of any religion or not.Khan had earlier backed Maulana Salman Nadvi’s proposal that both parties – Hindus and Muslims – should look for out of court settlement.Importantly, he said that the title rights of the disputed structure should go to one party – contrary to the Allahabad High Court verdict in which it divided the land rights between both Hindu and Muslim community. “In the Allahabad HC verdict, the Muslim community was on the losing side. If the land of the 500-year-old structure belongs to the Muslims, why should they give two-third land to the other party.” Khan maintained that he is not in favour division of the land.“Even if you give a part of it (the land) to Muslims, do you think the Muslims will be able to construct a Mosque there? I don’t think so,” Khan told this correspondent. He added the VHP’s celebrations are misplaced. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
