Kanwariyas attack car in Ghaziabad as police look on
A group of Kanwariyas allegedly vandalised a car with sticks and baseball bats in full public view in Ghaziabad's Modinagar on Sunday afternoon, even as police stood by. No complaint was received in the matter and so the Kanwariyas were allowed to continue their journey, senior police officers said later. A video of the incident shows a mob vandalising a car on a busy street. (HT photo) According to police, the incident happened around 3pm Sunday when Nitin Kumar, a Kanwariya from Delhi's Uttam Nagar, was resting on a road divider in Modinagar. A Swift car reportedly hit the divider near him, prompting other Kanwariyas to assume that Kumar had been injured. Police said this triggered a rampage and Kanwariyas started vandalising the car using baseball bats and sticks. .Videos of the incident surfaced on Monday, showing the car surrounded by Kanwariyas and local residents. Several policemen appear present but uninvolved. HT could not independently verify the authenticity of the videos. 'The car hit the divider where a Kanwariya was resting. Others assumed he was hurt and damaged the vehicle. Police pacified them and they moved on. No complaint has been received so far. We will examine if an FIR can be lodged,' said Surendra Nath Tiwary, deputy commissioner of police (rural). This is the second such incident in Modinagar this month. On the night of July 8, Kanwariyas from Haryana allegedly assaulted a car driver and vandalised his Swift after it brushed past one of them. Police later said the driver was drunk and booked him under section 170 of the Bharatiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) for preventive arrest. In response to the incidents, Ghaziabad police have imposed major traffic diversions. The Meerut-Ghaziabad carriageway has been reserved for returning Kanwariyas since Monday afternoon, and the entry of heavy vehicles has been restricted on the Delhi-Meerut Road, Delhi-Meerut Expressway, and Muradnagar–Tila Morh routes from July 11. 'Light vehicles and two-wheelers going to and coming from Meerut will be allowed on both sides of the Ghaziabad-Meerut carriageway. Cones have been installed to separate the two directions and traffic police are on the ground to ensure smooth flow,' said additional DCP (traffic) Sacchidanand.

Ludhiana: Relative under scanner in SAD leader's murder: Cops
The Ludhiana police, in collaboration with Jammu police, arrested one of the accused involved in the brutal murder of 65-year-old Kuldeep Singh, a former personal assistant to senior Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) leader and former MP Jagdev Singh Talwandi. The police have revealed that the killing was allegedly orchestrated by a distant relative of the victim, who hired four men to execute the murder over a suspected property dispute. One of the four hired killers in police custody. (HT Photo) The victim, Kuldeep Singh, was murdered on the evening of June 27 near Missing Link-2, Dhandra Road, while returning home from his farmhouse near Gill Bypass. The attackers, travelling in a Maruti Swift, rammed into his vehicle, forcing him to step out. Seizing the moment, they overpowered and bludgeoned him to death using sharp-edged weapons. The shocking assault was partially recorded by a local resident, helping police piece together the sequence of events. During investigation, the police traced the Swift car used in the crime to a local taxi operator. The taxi owner revealed that the vehicle was requisitioned by Inderpal Singh, a resident of Doraha and a relative of the victim. Based on this, the police have named Inderpal in the FIR and suspect a longstanding property dispute as the motive for the murder. Additional deputy commissioner of police (ADCP-II) Karanveer Singh confirmed the arrest of Gurcharan Singh, who is one of the four hired assailants. 'Gurcharan Singh was arrested during a joint operation with Jammu police. He admitted to being involved in the attack but claimed he did not know the main conspirator directly. He said he was in touch with another accomplice who acted as an intermediary,' Singh stated. When questioned about Inderpal Singh's role in the conspiracy, the ADCP said, 'The main conspirator is believed to be a distant relative of the deceased. Whether that is Inderpal is still under investigation. We are actively working to trace and apprehend the remaining suspects involved in the plot.'

Delhi HC delivered 378 judgments on Day 1 after summer break
Despite working at a current strength of 60%, the Delhi high court delivered 378 judgments on July 1, when it reopened after a four-week summer break, according to data accessed by HT. This included 362 judgments on the 'appellate' side and 16 on the 'original' side. The Delhi high court delivered 362 judgments on the 'appellate' side and 16 on the 'original' side. (Representative photo) To be sure, while the high court in 'appellate' side deals with civil and criminal matters, the court in 'original' side deals with commercial matters, including intellectual property rights, arbitration and cases where the suit value exceeds ₹2 crore. On the appellate side, two benches led by court's third senior-most judge Navin Chawla, along with justices Shailender Kaur and Renu Bhatnagar, disposed of 306 civil cases. A bench of justices C Hari Shankar and Ajay Digpaul resolved 20 cases, also on the civil side. Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma single-handedly disposed of 10 criminal cases, and justice Jasmeet Singh delivered six of 16 judgements pronounced by the high court's original side. The judgments not only reduced case backlog, but the detailed judgments also laid down legal principles and guidelines that could serve as precedents in future cases. In one instance, justice Sanjeev Narula in an 82-page verdict on setting aside the sentence review board's (SRB's) decision to reject premature release of Santosh Kumar Singh—serving a life term for the 1996 rape and murder of law student Priyadarshini Mattoo—issued guidelines for the Delhi government to ensure that SRB's decisions align with the objectives of the policy and uphold fairness and justice. In a separate ruling, justice Narula held that fugitives could apply for pre-arrest bail under the Indian law governing extradition. Coming to the aid of an eight-year-old autistic girl, justice Vikas Mahajan reaffirmed that educational institutions were legally obligated to provide inclusive education and accommodate children with special needs under the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act. In an 85-page ruling, bench of justices Navin Chawla and Shailender Kaur dismissed 226 petitions filed by Centre against the disability pension awarded to ex-armed forces personnel, ruling that pensions can't be denied merely due to the disability occurring during a 'peace posting,' and stressing the need to recognise hardships of military service. Even as vacation benches continued to hear urgent matters three days a week, other judges continued with their effort to bring down the backlog. In June, bench of chief justice DK Upadhyay and justice Tushar Rao Gedela directed the consortium of National Law Universities declare revised CLAT PG results, after finding two errors in the consortium's answer key. Additionally, a bench of justices Prathiba M Singh and Manmeet Pritam Singh Arora specially assembled during vacation to assess the progress of authorities in cleaning a smelly culvert accessed every day by over 3,000 soldiers of Rajputana Rifles to head to their parade ground, and the construction of a foot overbridge to address their ordeal. While the Delhi high court continued its work during the summer break, the Supreme Court, in November 2024, replaced the term 'summer vacation' with 'partial working days', acknowledging that a section of the judiciary remained operational throughout breaks. Even during the current break of the Supreme Court, which commenced from May 23, Chief Justice of India BR Gavai renamed the vacation as 'partially working days' and marked a departure from the practice of senior judges including the CJI, not holding court hearings during summer break, by assembling in the first week along with the four senior-most judges.
