Pakistan flag, army chief posters stuck on floor of Jharkhand HC premises, Registrar General says looking into it
Manoj Prasad, the Registrar General of Jharkhand High Court, said he was unaware of the development. 'I don't have information at present. I will look into it as soon as possible,' he said.
According to sources, during lunchtime, an individual or individuals who are yet to be identified allegedly stuck the posters at several locations on the court premises, including the entrance, halls 1 and 2, and a washroom.
The development comes days after the Pahalgam terror attack and worsening diplomatic ties between India and Pakistan.
No formal inquiry has been initiated so far, but officials said they are trying to ascertain whether someone associated with the High Court is responsible for the act.
President of the Jharkhand High Court Advocates' Association, Ritu Kumar, confirmed the incident. 'Yes, it happened within the High Court premises. However, the matter falls under the jurisdiction of the High Court administration, not the Lawyers' Association,' she said.

Jaipur: A special court in Jaipur handling statewide cases related to communal riots, Tuesday acquitted 13 individuals accused of a double murder committed nearly 25 years ago in Malpura town of Tonk district. The lower court's decision was based on the prosecution's failure to substantiate the charges against the accused with adequate evidence. The acquitted individuals, however, remain implicated in a second double-murder case from the same riots, the verdict of which is expected on Aug 24. In her judgment, the court's presiding officer Shweta Gupta stated, "The prosecution failed to prove the crime against the accused with proper evidence and investigation."

The remaining 13 were acquitted on Tuesday, with the court granting them the benefit of doubt. Defense attorneys argued that the investigation conducted by the police was inadequate. VK Bali, one of the defense counsels, emphasised that the FIR was based on second-hand information and highlighted the imposition of Section 144 at the time of the incident, which raised doubts about the reliability of the purported eyewitnesses.

Girl injured after jumping from High Court building
The Madras High Court campus witnessed tense moments on Tuesday when a 15-year-old girl jumped from the first floor of the buildingafter the hearing of a case related to her custody. She was injured and immediately rushed to the Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital (RGGH) in the High Court ambulance. The Neelankarai police in Chennai had secured the minor girl from Andaman islands and produced her before a Division Bench of Justices M.S. Ramesh and V. Lakshminarayanan initially on August 8, 2025 following a habeas corpus petition (HCP) filed by her biological father who had divorced her mother. When the case was taken up again on Tuesday, the girl told the court that she wanted to go with her mother who also resides in the Andamans. However, after perusing a confidential report submitted by the mediation centre, the judges felt that it would not be conducive and safe for her to go back to the Andamans. The judges directed the police to admit her to the Government Children's Home for Girls at Kellys in Chennai and then take her to the Institute of Mental Health at Kilpauk for psychiatric evaluation. They also called for the evaluation report in a sealed cover by August 26, 2025. After the hearing was over and the orders were passed, the police brought the girl outside the court hall and as they were walking on the corridors, she tried to escape and in the process, jumped from the first floor by holding on to the serial lights that had been put up for the Independence Day celebrations. However, she lost balance and fell down. 'Immediately, she was rushed to the government hospital in the High Court ambulance. It appears to be an accident that occurred during the bid to escape from the police and not a suicide attempt, although only a proper inquiry would reveal the real reason,' said a lawyer. (Assistance for overcoming suicidal thoughts is available on the State's health helpline 104, Tele-MANAS 14416, Sneha's suicide prevention helpline 044-24640050 and Speak2Us helpline at 9375493754)
