More than 12 years after a tribunal in Assam declared a Muslim man to be a foreigner, the Supreme Court Yesterday (July 11th) restored his citizenship while ruling that a “grave miscarriage of justice” had taken place in the case.
A potentially dangerous situation was averted at the Lucknow district court Yesterday (May 31st) when lawyers intervened to detain an individual armed with a pistol. The accused, identified as Chandrapal Singh, was arrested after being caught carrying the weapon into the court premises.
