Tahawwur Rana, who is accused in the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks case, has once again approached the US Supreme Court. He has filed a fresh request with US Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, seeking to stop his extradition to India. This comes after his previous appeal was rejected earlier this month by US Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan.
NEW DELHI: On Tuesday, January 21, the Supreme Court dismissed petitions filed by the Directorate of Enforcement (ED) seeking to cancel the bail granted to Chhagan Bhujbal, former Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister and current NCP MLA, and his nephew Sameer Bhujbal. The case is linked to allegations of money laundering in the Maharashtra Sadan scam.
CJI D.Y. Chandrachud and Justice Sanjiv Khanna are linked through the ADM Jabalpur case, where their predecessors delivered a controversial verdict in 1976. Justice H.R. Khanna’s dissent emphasized the rule of law. Chandrachud later overruled that decision, highlighting progress in India’s legal interpretation of fundamental rights, marking a poetic justice moment.
Today, On 27th August, Justice Bharati Dangre of the Bombay High Court has recused herself from hearing the petition filed by former Assistant Police Inspector Sachin Waze. The petition challenges his detention in a corruption case involving allegations against the former Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh. Waze, seeking bail and claiming wrongful detention, also requested release under CrPC Section 167(2).
The Bombay High Court ordered the immediate release of the teenager accused in the Pune Porsche crash, where two people died. The 17-year-old, son of a real estate developer, will now be under his aunt’s care as his parents and grandfather have been arrested for attempting a cover-up. The incident led to widespread outrage and legal actions against those involved.
Justice G. Jayachandran criticized Justice G.R. Swaminathan for bias against State police and hasty decision-making in YouTuber ‘Savukku’ Shankar’s detention case. Swaminathan’s failure to consult his bench partner and refusal to allow the State to file a counter affidavit led Jayachandran to declare Swaminathan’s opinion invalid. Swaminathan’s explanations were deemed inadequate.
The Madras High Court referred the Savukku Shankar case, previously given a split verdict, to a regular division bench, declaring the previous ruling an “anomaly.” The new bench will consider two key questions and review the habeas corpus petition. Justice Jayachandran criticized the delay and lack of judicial integrity in the case.
