AAP Leader's Swipe At BJP After Top Court's "Crook" Remark On Probe Agency
"The country's highest court, the Supreme Court, called the ED a crook - this is no small matter. But unfortunately, people sitting in constitutional positions are bowing before power and working solely on the agenda of one political party and its government. The Supreme Court issues orders, but no concrete action is taken against officials; unless concrete action is taken, it will yield no benefit," Saurabh Bharadwaj wrote on social media platform X.
देश की सबसे बड़ी अदालत सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने ED को क्रुक कहा — ये मामूली बात नहीं है।
लेकिन अफ़सोस, संवैधानिक पदों पर बैठे लोग सत्ता के आगे नतमस्तक होकर सिर्फ़ एक राजनीतिक पार्टी और उसकी सरकार के एजेंडे पर काम कर रहे हैं।

The AAP Delhi Unit Chief warned that those occupying constitutional posts are no longer custodians of the Constitution but have become foot soldiers of the ruling party, surrendering their independence and integrity.
"Even when the Supreme Court gives strong observations, the bureaucracy ignores it with impunity. Unless there is real accountability, these statements will remain hollow," he said, underscoring the systemic erosion of checks and balances in Indian democracy.
"These individuals no longer care about such judicial observations, because they are working on the agenda of a political party and its government. Even when orders come from the Supreme Court, no concrete steps are being taken to bring about institutional reform," Saurabh Bharadwaj added.
Referring to the case of former Delhi Minister Satyendar Jain, he pointed out, "In Satyendar Jain's matter, the court did say that the ED should not have tweeted in such a manner, but since no officer was held accountable, what was the point of the court's observation? If the Supreme Court issues such an order, it must be followed by concrete action against the officers involved - only then will it have any real effect. Otherwise, such judgments serve no purpose."

Can Russia occupy parts of Ukraine the way Israel occupies West Bank?
Russia has reportedly proposed taking military and economic control of areas it has occupied in Ukraine – a scheme that would mirror Israel's approach to the West Bank. The proposal was put forth in a meeting between US envoy Steve Witkoff and Russian representatives. But what do we know about such a plan? Russian President Vladimir Putin welcomes US President Donald Trump's Special Envoy Steve Witkoff during a meeting in Moscow, Russia. The proposal was said to be made in meeting between Witoff and Russian officials. Reuters Is Russia planning to emulate Israel's plan in the West Bank? There are reports that Russia has proposed doing so to the United States in a meeting between US envoy Steve Witkoff and Russian representatives. The report comes ahead of the meeting between US President Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday. It also comes after Trump held a call with several European leaders including Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who will not take part in the summit. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD But what do we know about the proposal? Let's take a closer look: What we know about proposal Russia's proposal mirrors Israel's plan in the West Bank. Moscow under this scheme would take military and economic control of areas it has occupied in Ukraine. However, these areas would be run by a separate governing body. 'The answer to Ukraine's territorial question is already in the constitution of Ukraine,' the Ukrainian president said in a Saturday video statement on Telegram. 'Ukrainians will not gift their land to the occupier.' However, such a plan would theoretically allow Ukraine to retain its formal sovereignty – thereby providing a legal workaround to Ukraine's Constitution, which mandates holding a national referendum when it comes to ceding territory. Witkoff, who is also Trump's envoy to West Asia, is said to back this plan. Thus far, Trump has been focused on a 'land swap' as a way of resolving the war – on which he has received pushback from Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenskyy and European leaders. 'It'll just be like Israel occupies the West Bank,' an unnamed source with ties to the US National Security Council (NSC) told The Times. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'With a governor, with an economic situation that goes into Russia, not Ukraine. But it'll still be Ukraine, because … Ukraine will never give up its sovereignty. But the reality is it'll be occupied territory and the model is Palestine,' the source added. It remains unclear if the plan calls for Ukraine to get back the territory at some point. The Trump administration has decried this report as fake news. 'This is total fake news and sloppy reporting by The Times, which clearly has terrible sources. Nothing of the sort was discussed with anyone at any point,' White House deputy press secretary Anna Kelly said. Volodymyr Zelenskyy has previously said that there is no question of Ukraine handing over its territory to Russia. However, their previous words point to something else entirely. The Trump administration has repeatedly said that Ukraine expecting to get back its land from Russia is 'unrealistic'. US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth in February said, 'We must start by recognising that returning to Ukraine's pre-2014 borders is an unrealistic objective. Chasing this illusionary goal will only prolong the war and cause more suffering'. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD In May, US Senior Director for Counterterrorism Sebastian Gorka, said 'the Trump administration lives in the real world.' 'We recognise the reality on the ground,' he added. 'No. 1, that's the beginning because we're not utopianists and we're not human engineers. We're not some kind of pie-in-the-sky believers in utopia.' 'We recognize the reality on the ground and we have one priority above all else, whether it's the Middle East or whether it's Ukraine. It's to stop the bloodshed. Everything else comes after the bloodshed has been halted.' However, European leaders have repeatedly said that Ukraine needs to be part of any peace process and no talks about land being handed over can occur for a ceasefire without Kyiv. A number of European leaders during the call yesterday with Trump and Zelenskyy said the goal was to get a ceasefire between Russia and the Ukraine. They said the ceasefire is simply a first step and that Ukraine needs to play any part in a peace deal. They also said Europe's concerns must be taken into account. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'We have made it clear that Ukraine will be at the table as soon as there is a follow-up meeting,' German Chancellor Friedrich Merz told reporters in Berlin alongside Zelenskyy. ' President Trump wants to make a ceasefire a priority,' he added. Any territorial exchange in Ukraine 'must only be discussed with Ukraine', French President Macron added after the call. 'Trump was very clear on the fact that the US wants to obtain a ceasefire at this meeting in Alaska,' Macron said. 'We must continue to support Ukraine, and when I say 'we', I mean Europeans and Americans,' he added. 'We remain committed to the principle that international borders must not be changed by force,' the leaders said in a statement on Saturday. 'The current line of contact should be the starting point of negotiations.' The West Bank Israel seized the West Bank from Jordan during the 1967 war – also known as the Six- Day War when it fought and defeated its neighbours Egypt, Syria, and Jordan. The land lies to Israel's east – on the West Bank of the River Jordan from which it gets its name – spans 5,628 square kilometres. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD It is surrounded by Israel to its north, west and south. It also borders Jerusalem – which houses sites sacred to Muslims, Christians and Jews and is a flashpoint for internal violence. While the West Bank is home to millions of Palestinians, it is also home to nearly half a million Israeli Jews. Israel over the years has built 'settlements' on the West Bank. Many of these have sprung up under the Benjamin Netanyahu regime, which has made their construction 'a priority'. Israel seized the West Bank from Jordan during the 1967 war – also known as the Six- Day War when it fought and defeated its neighbours Egypt, Syria, and Jordan. AFP However, the settlements remain illegal under international law. Even the United States, a staunch ally of Israel, does not recognise the legality of these settlements. The International Court of Justice ruled in July that the occupation of the West Bank was illegal and said that it violated Palestinians' right to self-determination. It said Israeli policy in the territories constituted 'systemic discrimination' based on religion, race or ethnic origin, and that Israel had already effectively annexed large parts of the territory.

Nimisha Priya on death row: SC told talks ongoing, no immediate threat
The Supreme Court was informed on Thursday that there was "no immediate threat" to Indian nurse Nimisha Priya who is on death row in Yemen for murder. It then listed the matter after eight weeks. The counsel for petitioner organisation Save Nimisha Priya International Action Council, which is extending legal support to Priya, requested a bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta to adjourn the matter. The apex court was hearing a plea seeking a direction to the Centre to use diplomatic channels to save the 38-year-old nurse from Palakkad in Kerala who was convicted of murdering her Yemeni business partner in 2017. "Negotiations are going on. As of now there is no immediate threat. Kindly adjourn it by four weeks. Hopefully, everything will be over by that time," the counsel said. "Let this matter be listed after eight weeks," the bench then said. The petitioner's counsel said they would mention the matter before the top court if there was any urgency. The top court was apprised last month that Priya's execution, which was scheduled for July 16, had been stayed. On July 18, the Centre informed the top court that efforts were on and the government was trying everything possible to ensure Priya came out safely. The petitioner organisation sought a Centre-appointed delegation to go to Yemen to meet the murder victim's family for negotiations. The bench said the petitioner could make a representation to the government. The petitioner's counsel had earlier said Priya's mother was in Yemen to negotiate with the victim's family and she has gone there as the Delhi High Court asked the Centre to give her permission to travel. Priya was convicted in 2017, sentenced to death in 2020 and her final appeal rejected in 2023. She is imprisoned in a jail in the Yemen capital Sana'a. The petitioner's counsel had earlier told the apex court that payment of blood money to the family of the deceased permissible under the Sharia law could be explored. He said the victim's family might pardon Priya if blood money was paid. On July 17, India said it was in touch with Yemeni authorities as well as certain friendly nations as part of efforts to reach a "mutually agreeable solution" in the case. According to Yemeni court documents, Priya allegedly drugged and murdered Talal Abdo Mahdi in July 2017.

SC asks ECI to detail docs considered in 2003 Bihar electoral roll revision
The Supreme Court on Thursday asked the Election Commission of India (ECI) to inform about the documents considered during the 2003 intensive electoral roll revision in Bihar. A bench of Justices Surya Kant and Joymalya Bagchi, which resumed the hearing on a pleas challenging the June 24 ECI decision to conduct the special intensive revision (SIR) in the state said, "We would like ECI to state what documents were taken in 2003 exercise". The remarks came after advocate Nizam Pasha, appearing for one of the parties, said referred to the court reportedly saying "if the date of January 1, 2003 (the date of earlier SIR) goes then everything goes". "I must submit that nothing was there to show why this date is there The impression sought to be conveyed is that it is the earlier date when the intensive exercise for revision of the electoral roll was held. It is stated that the EPIC (voter) card issued then is more reliable than issued during summary exercises conducted from time to time, is incorrect," Pasha said. Pasha asked if the process of enrolling under intensive and summary revisions was the same then how could EPIC cards issued under summary exercises be discarded. The lawyer, therefore, said the date of 2003 was invalid and not based on intelligible differentia (basis of distinguishing the two situations). "No receipt of my enumeration form is being given or any documents acknowledging the receipt is given and therefore the booth level officers have an upper hand and these lower level officers have too much discretion on whether the form has to be taken or not," he said. Senior advocate Shoeb Alam, appearing for another petitioner, pointed out insufficient reasons in the ECI notification saying the process invented was neither "summary" nor "intensive" but just a creation of the notification. "This is a process of voter registration and cannot be a process of disqualification. This is a process to welcome and not turn this into a process to unwelcome," he said. The top court on August 13 observed electoral rolls cannot remain "static" and there is bound to be a revision, the top court said the expanded list of acceptable documents of identity from seven to 11 for Bihar's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voters' list was in fact "voter-friendly and not exclusionary." As the row over the SIR escalated, the bench said the EC had the residual power to conduct such an exercise as it deemed fit. The bench also disagreed with a submission by a petitioner that the SIR of electoral rolls in poll-bound Bihar had no basis in law and ought to be quashed. Leaders of opposition parties including the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and the Congress and the NGO Association of Democratic Reforms (ADR) have challenged the electoral roll revision drive in Bihar.
