The Delhi High Court directed residents of three slum clusters near the Prime Minister’s residence in Delhi’s Race Course area to vacate within 15 days and shift to government-provided accommodation, warning authorities could initiate legal action if occupants failed to comply within the prescribed timeframe.
The Supreme Court issued directions for speedy disposal of pending bail applications nationwide, stressing protection of undertrial prisoners’ rights and personal liberty. A Bench led by Chief Justice Surya Kant urged High Courts and investigating agencies to coordinate and avoid unnecessary delays.
