The court has asked DG (Prison) to trace the file, considering the seriousness of the issue. A report was filed on June 6 stating that the inquiry file is not traceable. The court expressed its concern and said, 'Considering the seriousness of the issues raised by the accused/applicant CM James and the facts which have come on record during recent hearings on the grievance of the applicant, it is matter of serious concern that the case file of the inquiry on the basis of which report dated August 8, 2019 was given, is not traceable.' 'Hence, in the given facts and circumstances, let the DG (Prisons), Tihar Jail be asked to trace and produce the above inquiry file and in case the case file is still not traceable, then, to submit a report regarding the facts and circumstances lead,' Special Judge Sanjay Jindal ordered on June 9. The court asked the jail authorities to ensure James' safety and security. 'Needless to mention that the jail authorities are bound to take all necessary safeguards for the safety and security of the applicant/UTP Christian Michel James,' the Special Judge said. The matter has been listed on July 7 for compliance. On June 6, 2025, a report was filed by Senior Law Officer of Office of DG Prisons, Tihar Jail stating that the original report submitted by DIG (P) as requisitioned by the court was not traceable despite best efforts.

During the course of consideration, it was explained/reiterated on behalf of Jail Authorities that the case file of the inquiry, on the basis of which the report of August 29, 2019, was given, was not traceable. The Rouse Avenue court on May 29 summoned the file of inquiry conducted by the DIG Jail in relation to safety and security in Tihar jail in 2019. The said inquiry was conducted after an alleged attempt on the life of James in Tihar Jail by an inmate. The court noted that the accused Christian Michel James has stated that the findings of the report are in contradiction of statement of witnesses. Accused Christian Michel James, through advocate Aljo K Joseph had moved an application on April 30, 2025, requesting reconsideration of the findings of the inquiry report of August 29, 2019, filed by jail authorities.

An inquiry was conducted in 2019 after the alleged life attempts on James. An inquiry was initiated following an email received from the British High Commission. This report was filed during a hearing on the earlier application James had made regarding his safety and security in Tihar Jail. (ANI)

Meghan's huge royal clash as new glitzy outing comes on same day as major event
While the royal family will be celebrating the King's official birthday with the Trooping the Colour procession on Saturday, Meghan Markle will be at an event of her own in California As the Royal Family prepares for Trooping the Colour, Meghan Markle is planning her own big night out in California. The Duchess of Sussex has been confirmed as the guest of honour at a museum's Night of Wonder black-tie event in California, on the same day as the King's official birthday celebrations in London. The diary clash will see Meghan be honoured for her charity work, which focuses on advancing community wellbeing and expanding opportunities for disadvantaged people, particularly those from underprivileged and minority communities. The event, where Meghan will give a speech about her work, will take place at the Museum of Natural History in Los Angeles, California, where the royal couple has called home for the past five years since stepping back from their royal duties. Meghan will be joined by other high-profile guests at the museum on June 14, with the space being transformed into an enchanted nocturnal garden. The exclusive event will feature live music and installations representing local ecosystems and the LA landscape, and guests will be treated to a farm-to-table dinner that uses ingredients from the museum's nature gardens. While it has not yet been confirmed if Prince Harry will also be attending the museum's charity night, he often accompanies his wife to public events where she gives speeches. Ahead of the event, Lori Bettison-Varga, the President and Director of the Natural History Museums of Los Angeles County, said: "We are proud to honour Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, a native Angeleno, whose work to advance community wellbeing and expand opportunity – especially for underserved communities – aligns with our equity-focused approach to developing science literacy for the next generation." The Office of Prince Harry and Meghan added that Meghan's mission to advance community wellbeing and uplift young women 'dovetails with the museums' approach to connecting community and science by fostering meaningful educational experiences that empower young minds.' On the same day of the exclusive event at the Los Angeles museum, the Royal family will be taking to the Buckingham Palace balcony for Trooping the Colour to celebrate the King's birthday. The Trooping the Colour event, which takes place every year in June, has been held to mark the sovereign's official birthday since the accession of King George IV in 1820, except during the world wars and a national strike in 1955. In 2020, a scaled-back version of the celebration was held at Windsor Castle due to the Covid pandemic. Trooping the Colour 2025, officially known as The King's Birthday Parade, will take place on Saturday June 14 in London. Prince Harry and Meghan have not attended the event in an official capacity since 2019, although Meghan was seen watching the military procession from Horse Guards Parade during the late Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee celebrations in 2022. Harry and Meghan announced they would be stepping back as senior members of the royal family in January 2020, and have been living in Montecito, California, with their two children, Archie and Lilibet, ever since.
