CM Devendra Fadnavis said his government is “positive about bringing in a law to ensure safety of advocates” while attending the inauguration of Bombay HC’s new circuit bench in Kolhapur. He called the move a historic victory after a 50-year struggle.
A District Judge in Maharashtra fell victim to a cyber fraud scheme, losing Rs 50,000 to scammers who impersonated a Bombay High Court Judge on WhatsApp. The fraudsters requested the transfer under false pretenses, leading the judge to realize the deception only when asked for more money. An investigation is underway to apprehend the perpetrators.
