SC directs states, UTs to frame policy for early release of elderly, terminally ill prisoners
New Delhi, Jul 16: The Supreme Court on Thursday directed all states and Union territories to formulate and notify a policy within three months for early or premature release of prisoners who are of advanced age or are terminally ill. A bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta said the policy should clearly define the eligibility criteria and procedural framework for consideration of release and in particular, it should expressly provide a clear and uniform definition of erminal illness. The bench delivered its verdict on a plea by the National Legal Services Authority raising grave and systemic concerns regarding continued incarceration of convicted prisoners who are of advanced age (above 70 years) or are terminally ill. It also asked the Centre to provide all necessary support to states and UTs to facilitate effective compliance with its directions. All states and Union Territories shall, within a period of three months from the date of this judgment, formulate and notify a comprehensive policy for early or premature release of prisoners who are of advanced age and/or are terminally ill, it said. It noted that under the doctrine of separation of powers, court cannot assume the role of a legislature or embark upon law-making in areas expressly reserved for the elected branches of government. Judicial directions cannot transgress into the realm of legislative policy or supplant statutory frameworks, particularly in matters where the Constitution vests primary competence in the States, the bench said. It said role of the apex court is not to legislate, but to interpret, enforce and give meaningful effect to constitutional guarantees, while remaining mindful of the limits of institutional authority and judicial restraint. However, constitutional restraint cannot be equated with constitutional abdication. Where legislative or executive inaction results in persistent or systemic violations of fundamental rights, this court cannot remain a passive spectator, the bench said. In such circumstances, constitutional adjudication cannot retreat into silence, and this court is duty-bound to issue appropriate directions to ensure that existing constitutional and statutory frameworks are effectively implemented and that the guarantees under Article 21 of the Constitution of India do not remain merely formal or illusory, it said. The bench noted that punishment must remain anchored in proportionality, humanity and the possibility of reform, and that incarceration cannot be permitted to degenerate into institutional neglect incompatible with the values of a constitutional democracy. Exercising its powers, including under Article 142 of the Constitution, the bench said the policy be framed in consultation with the respective State Legal Services Authorities so as to ensure institutional coordination and effective identification of eligible prisoners. Regarding uniform definition of erminal illness, the bench said for this purpose, the states and UTs may adopt, with such modifications as deemed appropriate, the definition contained in UNODC Handbook on Prisoners with Special Needs (2009). It noted that definition in the handbook describes terminal illness as a condition where there is no reasonable medical possibility that the patient's condition will not continue to degenerate and result in death. The bench said the policy should mandate constitution of independent medical boards at the divisional and state levels for objective medical assessment and certification of terminal illness or advanced medical vulnerability. It said the policy should prescribe a time-bound and accessible procedure for submission, examination and disposal of applications for early or compassionate release. Procedural delays which result in prisoners spending their final months or years under incarceration shall be avoided, and all decisions shall be reasoned and subject to judicial review, it said. The bench observed the manner in which a constitutional democracy treats those who find themselves in positions of heightened vulnerability within its institutional framework is often the clearest reflection of its commitment to the rule of law and human dignity. It said prisons are not spaces where constitutional values are suspended. The guarantees of dignity, fairness and humane treatment continue to operate with full force even behind prison walls, where the power of the State is exercised in its most intrusive form and the vulnerability of individuals is at its highest, the bench said. It noted that according to the Prison Statistics India Report, 2022, published by the National Crime Records Bureau, as on December 31, 2022, there were a total of 1,33,415 convicted prisoners in India. The bench noted that out of them, 27,690 convicts, constituting approximately 20.8 per cent, were aged 50 years and above. It asked the Centre to provide all necessary support to states and UTs to facilitate effective compliance with its directions. The bench also asked the Centre, all states and UTs to file compliance affidavits before it within six months. It said the compliance affidavits should also indicate the status of formulation and implementation of policy, including data regarding the number of prisoners identified, released, and those presently under consideration. The directions issued hereinabove are intended to give meaningful effect to the constitutional guarantee of life with dignity and to ensure that the criminal justice system does not inflict needless suffering upon those whose vulnerability is manifest and irreversible, the bench said, while posting the matter for January 17.

When the Monsoon Paints the Skyline: A View Like No Other from Saya Gold Avenue
There is something magical about the monsoon. The first spell of rain transforms the landscape, washes away the dust, and gives cities a fresh identity. Roads gleam, trees turn a vibrant green, and the skyline takes on a dramatic new character. While most people enjoy this transformation from their balconies or windows, there are a select few who experience it from an entirely different perspectivehigh above the city. Saya Gold Avenue Panoramic views from the terrace Standing atop the penthouse of Saya Gold Avenue, the tallest residential tower on NH-24, the view is nothing short of breathtaking. As monsoon clouds drift across the horizon and patches of sunlight break through, the vast expanse of Noida, Ghaziabad, and East Delhi unfolds like a living canvas. The busy NH-24 (DelhiMeerut Expressway), one of India's finest urban highways, stretches into the distance, its smooth carriageways reflecting the rain while vehicles move like tiny streams of light below. What was once just a transport corridor has evolved into one of the National Capital Region's most important growth corridors, connecting homes, businesses, and opportunities. From this vantage point, one can truly appreciate how dramatically the region has transformed over the past decade. The modern skyline of Noida, dotted with towering commercial buildings and premium residential developments, merges seamlessly with the rapidly evolving cityscape of Ghaziabad. On clear monsoon mornings, the horizon seems endless, offering panoramic views that few residences in the region can match. One of the most fascinating sights is the movement of aircraft taking off and landing at Hindon Airport. Watching an aircraft emerge through the clouds before gently descending onto the runway is an experience that never loses its charm. It serves as a reminder of how well-connected this region has become and how infrastructure is redefining urban living. Equally captivating is the Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS), India's next-generation high-speed regional rail network. As the sleek trains glide across the corridor, they symbolise the future of mobilitybringing Delhi, Ghaziabad, Meerut, and adjoining cities closer than ever before. From above, the movement of the RRTS seamlessly blends with the network of expressways, metro lines, and urban roads, showcasing a city designed for the future. As evening approaches, the monsoon sky stages its own spectacle. Shades of grey slowly give way to hues of orange, pink, and purple before thousands of city lights begin to sparkle below. The illuminated skyline, the flowing traffic on the expressway, and the occasional flashes of lightning in the distance create a scene that feels almost cinematic. Yet, beyond the stunning visuals lies a deeper story. This elevated perspective reflects the remarkable transformation of the Noida-Ghaziabad corridor into one of North India's fastest-growing urban destinations. World-class infrastructure, expanding business districts, improved connectivity, and thoughtfully planned residential communities have collectively reshaped the region into a preferred destination for professionals, entrepreneurs, and families alike. Monsoon also brings with it a rare sense of calm. The cool breeze at this height, the rhythmic sound of rain against the city below, and the ever-changing play of clouds create moments that are difficult to replicate elsewhere. It is an experience that reminds us that luxury is not defined merely by elegant interiors or premium amenitiesit is equally about the privilege of enjoying nature's finest performances from an extraordinary setting. Perhaps that is what makes this view so memorable. It is not just about seeing farther; it is about seeing the city differently. From the highest residential tower on NH-24, every rain shower tells a story of a region in motionwhere modern infrastructure meets nature, where skylines continue to rise, and where every season offers a fresh perspective on urban living. Some homes offer a place to live. Others offer a view. And then there are homes that offer an experienceone that changes with every cloud, every sunset, and every passing season.

Don't come to offer condolences if you want to do politics: CM Omar
Srinagar, July 16: Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Thursday said political leaders should not use condolence visits as a platform for politics, saying those who come to offer condolences to his family on Dr Mustafa Kamal's demise should refrain from making political statements outside. Speaking to reporters, CM Omar, per news agencyKashmir News Observer (KNO), said those who wish to do politics need not come to offer condolences. If you want to do politics, then don't come to offer condolences. You come to our home to express sympathy and then step outside to make political statements. Grief and politics should not be mixed, he said, adding that he would not discuss politics during the mourning period. Responding to a query, the Chief Minister expressed concern over the health of activist Sonam Wangchuk, who has been on a hunger strike for 19 days in New Delhi. CM Omar said it was surprising that despite Wangchuk reportedly losing around 9 kg weight during the fast, the government had made no effort to initiate dialogue or persuade him to end the hunger strike. Politics has its place, but humanity and compassion should come first. During Anna Hazare's hunger strike, the then government led by Dr Manmohan Singh sent ministers to hold talks and persuade him to end the fast. But no one has even tried to speak to Sonam Wangchuk. We don't know what the government will do next, but we are concerned about his health, he said(KNO)

The Support Staff's Response Has To Be Measured: Nayar Backs Patient Approach With Sooryavanshi
New Delhi: Former India assistant coach Abhishek Nayar has urged patience in handling teenage batter Vaibhav Sooryavanshi following India's underwhelming T20I campaign against England, insisting the youngster needs understanding rather than immediate technical intervention. Reflecting on India's recent struggles and the team's loss of momentum, Nayar explained why the England assignment unfolded differently from the successful tour of South Africa in 2024, while outlining how the support staff should approach one of the country's brightest prospects. Sooryavanshi entered the series carrying significant expectations after attracting widespread attention in recent months, but endured a difficult run with the bat as India struggled to find rhythm throughout the tour. Nayar believes the priority should be understanding the teenager's state of mind before discussing cricket. The most important thing is to evaluate where the kid is today and how he's feeling. As a young player, you're already conflicted, that three games ago, the whole world was excited about your batting, and suddenly everything seems to have changed, Nayar told JioStar. According to Nayar, communication from coaches should focus on helping the youngster process the experience rather than overwhelming him with technical advice. The support staff's response has to be measured. First, understand how he's feeling. Maybe the conversation isn't even about batting initially, but about life and what international cricket is. Every bowler is coming at you, so can you find different solutions? he questioned. He added that allowing the player to reflect on his own experiences would be more effective than prescribing immediate fixes. You don't want him to see it as a problem, but as a tactical challenge. Instead of telling him what to do, have a conversation. Let him explain what he felt in that moment and what he was trying to do. The more he speaks, the clearer he'll become, he added. Nayar also highlighted the role of coaches in shielding young players from additional pressure during difficult phases, saying, As support staff, you don't put your emotions onto the player; you absorb theirs, so that the next time he walks in, he's clear in his mind. Discussing India's broader struggles, Nayar rejected comparisons with the team's successful T20I tour of South Africa in 2024, arguing that the circumstances surrounding the two series were vastly different. To be honest, the pitches in South Africa were very good. The conditions weren't the issue. In T20 cricket, form and momentum are everything, and this team had neither, he said. He pointed to the lack of preparation following the IPL, the introduction of a new captain, and the heightened attention around Sooryavanshi as factors that disrupted India's campaign before it had gathered momentum. After the IPL, there was a break. So, they went into the Ireland series without much preparation. The only question over the team was that there is a new captain and a couple of new players. There was so much discussion about Vaibhav Sooryavanshi going into it, that I felt that the team didn't have tunnel vision, the former India player stated. While acknowledging that India's batters found the short-ball strategy challenging, Nayar insisted the issue should not be viewed as a long-term concern given the players' proven ability. The players are talented. They struggled against the short ball, but it's not like players like Ishan Kishan, Abhishek and Sooryavanshi haven't handled it well before, After the IPL, there was a break. So, they went into the Ireland series without much preparation. The only question over the team was that there is a new captain and a couple of new players. There was so much discussion about Vaibhav Sooryavanshi going into it, that I felt that the team didn't have tunnel vision, the former India player stated. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Ireland series hit them like a storm. Taking that momentum into the England series, where you haven't gotten runs, was in itself a challenge. If that over from Ravi Bishnoi had gone differently in one game, we might have been having a completely different conversation. A few small things haven't gone India's way, but I don't think it's a major problem yet, he opined. Article Source: IANS
