NEW DELHI: 28th May: The Supreme Court of India has extended the interim bail given to Ali Khan Mahmudabad, a professor at Ashoka University, who was arrested by the Haryana Police over his controversial social media posts related to Operation Sindoor, India’s counter-terror response to the Pahalgam terror attack.
The Supreme Court has permitted Ashish Mishra, accused in the Lakhimpur Kheri violence case, to visit his family on weekends, while expediting trial proceedings and streamlining the witness list.

New Delhi, March 25: The Delhi High Court has asked the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to respond to a plea by Christian Michel James, an alleged middleman in the Rs 3,600-crore AgustaWestland money laundering case.

Azam Khan and his son, Abdullah Azam Khan, will remain in jail even after securing bail from the Supreme Court. Legal hurdles are preventing their immediate release.

The Enforcement Directorate has implicated K Kavitha and AAP leaders, including Arvind Kejriwal, in a corruption case linked to a Rs.100 crore payment related to Delhi’s liquor policy. Delhi’s Lt.

The Delhi High Court, on Monday (2nd Dec) led by Justice Manoj Kumar Ohri, will hear former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia’s plea against the ED’s charges on December 20. Sisodia argues that the charges lack prior sanction under CrPC due to his public servant status, echoing the Supreme Court’s ruling that requires such approval for prosecution.
Former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia has challenged the Enforcement Directorate’s chargesheet in the Excise Policy case, arguing it was filed without required official approval. His petition claims this violates legal protocols, and he seeks to dismiss all related proceedings. The Delhi High Court will hear the case soon.
The Supreme Court today granted bail to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, citing “prolonged incarceration constitutes an unjust deprivation of liberty.” His arrest by the CBI in the liquor excise policy case led to restrictions, despite being granted bail in a separate case. The court criticized keeping him in custody without a trial as a “travesty of justice.”
