Kondakal land: HC suspends Rangareddy collector's order
Hyderabad: Finding fault with the Rangareddy district collector for granting rights over 20 acres of govt land at Kondakal village in Shankarpally mandal to a private party, Justice CV Bhaskar Reddy of the Telangana high court has suspended the collector's order. The court also directed the state govt, revenue, and registration officials not to entertain any sale transactions related to the land until further orders.
The interim direction came after hearing a petition filed by Y Sailaja of Filmnagar, Jubilee Hills, who questioned the inaction of officials in protecting govt land allegedly grabbed by a private person. Sailaja said that she owns 2.14 acres in the village, purchased in 2008, and complained that a large compound wall built by one Krishna Ram Bhupal around a 40-acre parcel adjacent to her land had caused access-related issues. Her repeated complaints reportedly yielded no results, as revenue authorities appeared to favour Bhupal.

Justice Bhaskar Reddy, upon summoning the land records, uncovered several startling facts. Reports by revenue and survey officials from a survey conducted a decade ago revealed that Bhupal owned only 20 acres but had encroached upon an additional 20 acres of adjacent govt land. His firm, Bloostic Land Holdings Private Ltd, constructed a compound wall enclosing the entire 40 acres.
No action taken against
encroachment
Instead of initiating action against the encroachment, the district collector issued an order on Dec 29, 2022, directing the assistant director, survey and land records, Rangareddy, to carry out the correction in the village map of Kondakal. The order was issued under Section 90 of the Andhra Pradesh (Telangana Area) Land Revenue Act, 1317 Fasli, and allotted new survey and pote numbers under section 87 of the same Act for survey No. 555, based on sub-division records.
Criticising the collector's action, Justice Bhaskar Reddy observed: "From a perusal of the record, it would reveal that the deputy director of the survey wing categorically reported that govt land of 20 acres and 12 guntas was encroached by Krishna Ram Bhupal by constructing a compound wall. The collector, without referring to these factual reports by the deputy director and the tahsildar, who also exposed the encroachment, issued proceedings on 29.12.2022 for correction of survey numbers, classifying govt land as patta land."
The judge suspended the collector's order and issued notices to the state revenue secretary, district revenue, and survey officials, as well as the private parties involved, seeking their responses by June 24. He further directed that no third party interests should be created over the disputed land, nor should the nature of the land be altered, until further orders.

Israel launched the air war on June 13, attacking Iranian nuclear facilities and killing top military commanders as well as civilians in the worst blow to the Islamic Republic since the 1980s war with Iraq. Live Events Iran retaliated with barrages of missiles on Israeli military sites, infrastructure and cities. The United States entered the war on June 22 with strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said Israel's "act of aggression had led to many war crimes". He said Iran would transfer evidence to international organisations which he said should hold Israel to account. "The Zionist regime's (Israel) action was done without any reason or justification, therefore we do not believe in separating military and civilian (victims)," Baghaei told reporters at a regular press briefing. He said any "martyr or destroyed building is an example of war crimes."

NYC Pride March: 2 people shot near Stonewall Inn in Manhattan; ‘devastating incident,' says mayor
AP file photo Two people were shot near the landmark Stonewall Inn, located in Greenwich Village, on Sunday after the NYC pride parade, according to the NYT news service. One victim, who was shot in the head, is in a critical condition, while the second victim, who was shot in the leg, is in a more stable condition, according to a spokesperson for the Police Department. Police have not yet identified the perpetrator and are unsure of whether the shooting is related to the Pride march. The shooting occurred just as Pride celebrations were wrapping up, shortly after the New York City Pride March in Manhattan earlier on Sunday, mayor Eric Adams said on social media. 'During a time when our city should be rejoicing and celebrating members of our diverse LGBTQ+ community, incidents like this are devastating.' Adams posted on X. — NYCMayor (@NYCMayor) Adams, along with Zohran Mamdani, the likely Democratic nominee for mayor, had attended the pride parade earlier that day. The Stonewall Inn, considered a national monument, is a bar on Christopher Street and was supposed to host an event for Pride month from noon to 4 am on that day. Representatives for the bar did not immediately comment on the mishap. Douglas Breland, 47, a bouncer at Barrow Street Alehouse near the Stonewall Inn, texted his mother at 9:48 pm about the quiet night, even sharing a photo of the empty bar. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo Moments later, he stepped outside to film the nearly deserted block.

He then sent his mother another text saying, "2 people were just shot on the corner 1/2 a block from me.' Hours later, Breland sat in a bar booth, still processing the night's events. Outside, the streets were mostly deserted, except for a few late-night revelers. The police were clearing people away from the scene. The Pride March, attended by millions every year, commemorates the Stonewall riots of 1969, which were born out of a police raid on a gay bar in Manhattan.

National-level boxer alleges sexual harassment by woman coach; FIR filed
Representational Photo A minor female boxer has filed a sexual harassment complaint against a woman coach at the Sports Authority of India's National Boxing Academy in Rohtak. The victim's parents have reported that their daughter has fallen into depression due to continuous mental and physical abuse. The Boxing Federation of India and Sports Authority of India have confirmed receiving a complaint about intimidation and slapping incidents from the 17-year-old victim. However, they deny being informed about sexual harassment as mentioned in the FIR. The internal investigations by both organizations found no evidence against the coach. The coach continues to lead the national camp for junior and youth boxers. The victim's FIR, filed at a Rohtak police station, states that the coach attempted to forcibly remove her clothes, slapped her multiple times, threatened her career, and labeled her as a "person of bad character" in front of other boxers. The police have registered the complaint under Bhartiya Nyay Sanhita's section 115 and 351(3), along with Protection of Children from Sexual Abuse act's section 10. SAI has expressed willingness to assist with the investigations when required. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Doutor: Reverter encolhimento muscular após os 50 depende deste hábito noturno Revista do Homem Saiba Mais Undo "...we have not received copy of any such FIR as of now. A complaint was however lodged by a female Boxer of NBA Rohtak through email, on 24/4/25 in which she alleged Mental and Physical harassment by a female coach during an invitational boxing tournament held in Ireland from 25th March 2025 to 3rd April 2025. No allegation of sexual harassment was levelled in that complaint," a SAI Regional Centre (Sonepat) spokesperson told PTI. "A detailed inquiry was conducted in which statements of the complainant, the coach concerned, the fellow coaches and staff members and fellow athletes were taken and the allegations made could not be established." Poll How serious do you think the issue of harassment in sports is? Very serious. Somewhat serious. Not serious. "SAI is committed to ensuring clean sports and will extend any cooperation required during investigation based on the FIR, at any point of time." The victim's parents have expressed dissatisfaction with the BFI's handling of the situation. According to the FIR, the coach allegedly humiliated and molested the boxer during the Ireland tour. "This coach had tried to touch her inappropriately in the past too but my child could not understand her actions at that time," the FIR states. The parents reported that their daughter was punished with intense physical exercise for failing to record a training video as requested by the coach. "She apologised to the coach for not recording the video as well as the coach desired and requested her to do the seconding for her in the fight. But the coach did not go with her for the fight and did not allow any other coach to accompany her either. She even stopped my daughter's fellow boxers from helping or supporting her during the bout. We have CCTV footage to prove that my daughter was alone in the ring." The parents of the boxer, who has won two national-level gold medals, have alleged molestation by the coach. "The coach accused my daughter of talking excessively to boys. She called other boxers, insulted her in front of them and asked her to bring her phone. When my daughter headed to her room to do as instructed, she followed her inside and tried to touch her inappropriately after locking the room from inside. She tried to forcibly take off my daughter's clothes and when she resisted and pushed her, the coach repeatedly slapped her. She then dragged her to the training hall and asked my daughter to give in writing that she had two phones and was using one of them to talk to boys," they alleged. The parents stated their daughter was slapped for refusing to follow instructions. SAI's investigation found no support for these claims from other boxers present during the tour. "She threatened my daughter of consequences if she dared complained against her behaviour. She called her mentally unstable as well. The coach not only took my daughter's phone but also forced her to share its password after slapping her. She also took away her personal diary. My daughter is in depression and in a state of shock." The parents learned about their daughter's situation from one of her camp mates. They rushed to Rohtak, where she revealed her experiences to them.
