The Supreme Court strongly criticised the Maharashtra government for failing to conduct the trial of a 2022 murder case while the accused has remained in custody for over four years. The Court said the State opposed bail but neglected its duty to ensure a timely trial.
The Karnataka High Court rejected bail pleas of four accused persons for allegedly posting defamatory, obscene and intimidating social media remarks against Vijayalakshmi, wife of actor Darshan. Justice S Rachaiah observed that online platforms cannot become tools for harassment, intimidation or character assassination.
