SC refuses to interfere with demolition notices to properties in Batla House
New Delhi [India], June 2 (ANI): The Supreme Court on Monday refused to interfere with the demolition notices issued to the property owners at Batla House in Jamia Nagar and asked the petitioners to approach the appropriate authorities. A vacation bench of Justices Sanjay Karol and Satish Chandra Sharma denied any interim stay on the demolition notices and posted the matter for hearing in July. The residents sought a stay on the eviction and demolition. The petition was filed by Sultana Shaheen and 39 others who own properties in Batla House, saying that a 15-day eviction/demolition notice was pasted on their properties on May 27. 'This was done after the Supreme Court's order of May 7, directing the Delhi government and the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) to demolish illegal properties in the Batla House area,' said the petition filed through advocate Adeel Ahmed. The petition said that the action was wrong because they were never made a party to that case and were denied the opportunity to present their case. 'They are genuine residents and property owners of Khasra Nos. 271 and 279, Batla House, who have now received 15-day eviction/demolition notices on May 27, 2025, according to the Court's order on May 7, 2025, without being made parties to the writ petition or being granted an opportunity of being heard,' the plea added. The petition said that any blanket demolition drive initiated without affording affected residents an adequate and meaningful opportunity of being heard would amount to a gross infraction of the principles of natural justice and a direct violation of fundamental rights enshrined under Articles 14, 19(1)(e), and 21 of the Constitution of India. The petition further stated that 'the group of affected residents whose homes fall within the area now sought to be demolished on the purported ground of being outside the PM-UDAY Scheme coverage, despite having valid title documents, proof of continuous possession before 2014, and eligibility under the Recognition of Property Rights Act, 2019.' PM-UDAY is a scheme aimed at conferring or recognising property rights to residents of notified unauthorised colonies in Delhi. Seeking a stay on the demolition order, the petitioners challenged the assertion that these properties are encroachments on public land. 'The authorities have failed to distinguish between unregularised encroachments and bona fide allottees, GPA holders, or regularisation applicants, thus resulting in gross arbitrariness,' submitted the petition. The petitioners further sought direction to restrain the authorities from taking any coercive steps, including sealing, demolition or disconnection of utilities, against their properties without verifying their eligibility under PM-UDAY or without complying with principles of natural justice.

Colorado Football is All Over Social Media for Most Recent GPA
Colorado Football is All Over Social Media for Most Recent GPA originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Deion Sanders is entering his third season as head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes, and his impact continues to extend far beyond the football field. When Sanders took over a bottom-feeding program, he promised a complete cultural shift with his "Louis," and he has delivered. Advertisement The transformation was evident again Friday when CoIs lorado football announced a 2.95 GPA for the spring semester, the highest spring GPA in program history and second-highest overall. It follows a 3.01 GPA set last fall. While it's a high point for program, not everyone on social media was ready to congratulate Sanders and the Buffs. "Respect to Prime but 2.9 as your 2nd highest is crazy" Damp said. "The schools gotta stop posting anything below a 3.0" 😂😂, Ben added. "And I have to keep above a 3.5 for my scholarship 😭," Ian said. "C's get degrees," Tim and MSU Barstool said. "I can't believe this is a flex 😂," Dark Horse said.

Farrell and McGeeney prepare to put friendship on hold
'Our manager, their manager, they're great friends so looking forward to a serious contest,' is how Ciarán Kilkenny, fresh from an illuminating individual performance against Galway last Saturday week, previewed Sunday's Dublin-Armagh clash. Dessie Farrell and Kieran McGeeney's origins story is well-known. They formed a mutual appreciation society to get the better of Conor Deegan who had joined Kilmacud Crokes in 1997 and was part of the Stillorgan team that beat Na Fianna in the '98 Dublin SFC final. For that and the bragging rights he had over them as part of two All-Ireland winning Down teams, Deegan was their target. McGeeney's older brother Patrick followed as did Cullyhanna's Des Mackin. By 2005, Mobhi Road had become an Orchard as two more of McGeeney's Mullaghbawn and county team-mates, the McNulty brothers Enda and Justin, had transferred. Enda McNulty dispelled the theory that McGeeney had been paid to play for Na Fianna, pointing out the only thing they received was free fruit (is it any coincidence Armagh are now sponsored by Simply Fruit?) After Paul Caffrey had led them to the first two Dublin titles, Farrell's current right-hand man Mick Galvin, who had played the two previous seasons, was manager when the club claimed the three-in-a-row in 2001. The 1999 success was the club's third ever crown and first in 20 years. They haven't claimed one since. Regaling a story about the pair's final days in the yellow and blue, McGeeney once gave an insight into how tight they were. 'I remember myself and Dessie and Senan (Connell) and Justy (McNulty) went to a friendly game. The craic going down in the car was brilliant. 'We bounced out on to the field, you'd swear we were a bunch of young fellas. And on the way home, my knee was done, he's (Dessie's) Achilles was done, Justy's hip was done and Senan's hamstring. All four of us limped into the car. There's nothing like a wee bit of reality just to let you know that you're old.' Those bonds don't break and with for nearly every step that the Gaelic Players Association (GPA) took towards recognition in 2010, McGeeney was with Farrell. From the GPA's first press conference in Belfast in 1999 when they travelled from Dublin together to McGeeney being secretary as Farrell held the chief executive role before the latter bowed out soon after becoming Kildare manager for the 2008 season. For their monotone, sometimes gruff exteriors, there is a kindness to them. Those experiences have made them players's managers. There are many tales of the lengths McGeeney has gone to for his men, ones that should stay private, but it is obvious there Is more than one side to him. 'Deep down, I think he likes to have a wee go at the media,' said Rian O'Neill last July. 'He likes to wind ye up a little bit. It's good to see you fighting back at him but he's a smart man.' The appreciation for Farrell among his group came through loud and clear after their 2023 All-Ireland success. 'I just thought some of the shots at him the last two years were disgraceful, to be honest,' said James McCarthy after that year's final. Both have had their brushes with the authorities, of course. In 2017, McGeeney was suspended for 12 weeks following an incident involving linesman Joe McQuillan in a league game against Antrim. McQuillan is the man in the middle for Sunday's game. Farrell was banned for a similar period when Dublin were found to have breached the pandemic lockdown rules and the GAA's training ban in March 2021. But neither have stopped pushing the envelope. Both haven't shied away from querying the Football Review Committee in public and this year Armagh and Dublin have been at the forefront of exposing the limitations around the team registration protocols. For Armagh's Ulster opener against Antrim, they made two late changes to the squad – James Morgan and Daniel Magee being introduced. That same weekend, Dublin did the same for their Leinster quarter-final win over Wicklow as Stephen Cluxton and Cian Murphy were replaced by Hugh O'Sullivan and Niall Doran. The weekend before last, Seán Bugler emerged from nowhere to begin the All-Ireland group win over Galway. Last weekend, Rian O'Neill did the same against Derry. If the pals are comparing notes how to get around having to name a 26-man championship match-day panel on a Thursday, it would be no surprise. After all, over recent seasons they have grown to consider each other's team as their optimum challenge game opponents but now for the first time since Farrell followed McGeeney into inter-county management in 2020 they meet in championship. Afterwards, there will be handshakes and arm-holds but in the seconds and minutes between McQuillan's first and final whistle, their brotherhood is parked. Speaking on 'Off The Ball' last Saturday, Farrell's former team-mate Paddy Christie spoke of Farrell's stubbornness and the incredible competitive streak that he saw both at county and club where Christie's Ballymun Kickhams and Na Fianna were the keenest of local rivals. McGeeney has described himself as 'a stubborn sort of fucker'. Birds of a feather flock together.

Colorado Announces Historic Team GPA Under Deion Sanders Ahead of 2025 Season
Colorado Announces Historic Team GPA Under Deion Sanders Ahead of 2025 Season originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Deion Sanders is heading into his third season as head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes. When he accepted the job in Boulder, taking over a program that had won just one game the previous year and was at the bottom of its conference, it was a major leap of faith. Advertisement Yet, he has remarkably shifted the culture and elevated the program to unprecedented heights—both on and off the field. Sanders has made it clear what kind of culture he wants to build long-term in Boulder, and his players are buying into that vision. This was especially evident on Friday when the program announced its team GPA for the spring semester under Sanders' leadership. While the team already saw academic success last year, this spring was particularly historic. As a collective, Colorado football maintained a 2.957 GPA—the highest spring semester GPA in program history and the second-highest overall, just behind last fall's 3.011 GPA. "The standard is the standard," Colorado's socials posted. "SMART, TOUGH, FAST, DISCIPLINED, "WITH CHARACTER." They continued, "The Herd made history this spring, earning a 2.957 GPA — the highest ever for Colorado Football in a spring semester." This success is a testament to what Sanders has emphasized to his team and staff since taking the job. He's been adamant about the importance of performing in the classroom before focusing on what happens on the field—and so far, that approach has paid off.

"But when you stop going to class, now you're affecting me. So we're going to affect your check. When I see a multitude of Fs and Ds, we're going to affect your check. Do we understand that?" Advertisement He added, "When you stop doing certain things that you're supposed to do, that you signed up to do, then you're going to be affected."
