Supreme Court of India criticised the Haryana Police for its shameful handling of a three-year-old’s rape in Gurugram and formed an SIT of women IPS officers for an impartial probe. Stating the police must visit the victim’s house.
The Punjab and Haryana High Court ordered the Haryana government to take strict action against nearly 4,000 illegal constructions in DLF City, Gurugram, within two months. The court slammed authorities for allowing unplanned development, warning that it could collapse Gurugram’s infrastructure, water supply, transport, and air quality. It also directed civil courts to close unauthorized cases blocking action. The ruling came in response to petitions highlighting violations of zoning laws and building codes, exposing a land mafia nexus.
A heated argument between a government lawyer and an advocate at a Gurugram court led to tensions between the Bar Association and the presiding judge. The judge criticized the behavior of the advocate and Bar members, prompting the Bar to file a complaint with the Punjab and Haryana High Court and boycott the court for two weeks. The dispute escalated during witness testimony, resulting in offensive language and a temporary suspension of the hearing. The Gurgaon District Bar Association passed a resolution condemning the incident and the JMIC’s reluctance to resolve the matter.
