Asian immigrants brace for UK plans to tighten residency rules
LONDON -- Ali Hussain made the painful decision to leave his parents behind in Pakistan and move to the U.K. over four years ago to complete his GP training, looking forward to settling in a country he thought was politically more stable. Now, British politics threaten to derail his plans. Just six months away from being eligible to apply for indefinite leave to remain in the U.K., Hussain (not his real name) will have to wait another five years if the government's proposed immigration rule changes are implemented.

HC grants bail to two in drug case
The Kerala High Court has granted bail to Ali Hussain and Rahul Islam, natives of Delhi and Assam, respectively, who were arrested by the Maradu police in connection with the seizure of ganja from their residence. The prosecution's case was that the accused were found in possession of 1.618 kg of ganja at their residence in Poonithura village on March 6 this year. They were charged with offences under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, 1985. The court observed that the narcotic drug seized from the accused was not of commercial quantity. Therefore, the rigour under Section 37 of the NDPS Act is not applicable to the case. In such circumstances, the petitioners can be released on bail after imposing stringent conditions.
