Today (13th March): Umar Khalid, an activist and former JNU scholar, has filed a petition in the Delhi High Court contesting the dropping of charges against individuals accused of attempting to murder him. The court has issued a notice to the Delhi Police and the accused individuals, scheduling further proceedings for May 21. This follows an incident outside the Constitution Club in New Delhi in 2018.
The Calcutta High Court, led by Justices Harish Tandon and Supratim Bhattacharya, addressed the prevalence of child marriages in West Bengal. The court expressed deep concern about the societal impact of such marriages and the complicity of family members. It denied bail to an accused involved in a child marriage and mandated a seminar to raise awareness against this practice.
