Delhi HC to hear Neha Bora's plea against 'peace' bond on October 22
The Delhi High Court Wednesday said it will hear on October 22 All India Students' Association (AISA) President Neha Bora's plea against a Delhi Police notice asking her to execute a peace bond before a Special Executive Magistrate (SEM). Bora, who has been at the forefront of protests against the alleged irregularities in the Election Commission's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, has sought quashing of the notice and directions to the police not to take any coercive action against her. Justice Subramonium Prasad deferred hearing on the plea at the request of Bora's counsel. The case was listed after the student leader sought an urgent hearing in the high court, which is shut this week for Dussehra vacation. The notice, issued on October 17 under Section 126 Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), asked the student leader to appear before the SEM on October 19 and show cause why she should not execute a personal bond of Rs 10,000 with one surety for keepin

In Jail Despite Bail: Administrative Inertia and the Unenforced Right to Personal Liberty
WHEN A COURT GRANTS BAIL , it makes a judicial determination that the liberty of the accused may safely be restored pending trial. Whether that determination takes effect, however, depends upon an administrative sequence that follows the order, over which the accused exercises no control. Where that sequence fails, the order of release remains on file and the person to whom it relates remains in prison. The Supreme Court addressed this precise failure three years ago. In In Re: Policy Strategy for Grant of Bail , by an order dated January 31, 2023 , it issued seven directions intended to ensure that an order of bail results in an actual release. Material now placed before the Court establishes that in Uttar Pradesh those directions have, in substance, not been implemented at all. This article sets out that material, identifies the statutory and constitutional obligations which it discloses to have been breached, and considers why directions of such administrative specificity have produced no measurable response. By taking Uttar Pradesh as a case study, the objective is to highlight the fatal distinction between the grant of bail and the release of the person granted bail; between these two events, hangs the fate and more importantly liberty and freedom of thousands of undertrial prisoners across India. The Supreme Court's Framework for Securing Release The suo motu proceedings were occasioned by a report of the National Legal Services Authority which disclosed that approximately 5,000 undertrial prisoners remained in custody notwithstanding orders of bail in their favour. The Bench of Justices S.K. Kaul and Abhay S. Oka responded with directions addressed not to principles, which were already settled, but to identified officers. Directions 1 to 3 govern the transmission of information. Direction 1 requires the court granting bail to send a soft copy of the order by electronic mail to the prisoner through the Jail Superintendent on the same day or the following day, and requires the Superintendent to enter the date of the grant of bail in the e-prisons software. Direction 2 provides that where the accused is not released within seven days of the grant of bail, it shall be the duty of the Superintendent to inform the Secretary of the District Legal Services Authority, who may depute a para-legal volunteer or jail-visiting advocate to interact with the prisoner and assist her in securing her release. Direction 3 requires the National Informatics Centre to create fields in the e-prison software so that non-release within seven days generates an automatic electronic communication to the Secretary. Direction 4 is the operative provision for present purposes. It provides that the Secretary of the District Legal Services Authority, with a view to finding out the economic condition of the accused, may take the help of Probation Officers or Para-Legal Volunteers to prepare a report on the socio-economic condition of the inmate, which may be placed before the concerned court with a request to relax the condition or conditions of bail or surety. Directions 5 to 7 concern the continuing jurisdiction of the court. Direction 5 permits the grant of temporary bail for a specified period to enable an accused to furnish her bail bond or sureties. Direction 6 permits the concerned court to take up the case suo motu where bail bonds are not furnished within one month of the grant of bail, and to consider whether the conditions require modification or relaxation. Direction 7 records that the insistence upon local surety is among the principal causes of delayed release, and suggests that courts may not impose that condition (see the directions here ). The scheme so constructed is cumulative. Information passes from the court to the jail, from the jail to the legal services authority within a fixed period of seven days, and from the authority back to the court in the form of a report upon the prisoner's means. The court then relaxes what the prisoner has been shown to be unable to satisfy. Each step is allocated to a named functionary, and no step requires any initiative from the prisoner. That allocation is deliberate: the persons affected are in custody, are frequently illiterate, and are by definition without the resources that would enable them to engage a counsel. Three Years On: The Failure to Implement the Directions The supreme court order was intended to provide an effective and enduring remedy to the plight of undertrial prisoners. Ironically, it seems that the monster of administrative inertia that the order sought to address has frustrated its implementation. As reported on October 17, 2026, an application filed in the Supreme court alleges that at least 236 undertrial prisoners across Uttar Pradesh remain in custody despite being granted bail, primarily because they are unable to arrange sureties or meet monetary conditions. The applicant relies on information obtained under Section 6(1) of the Right to Information Act, 2005, from the Public Information Officers of district jails across Uttar Pradesh. The matter was first filed as a criminal public interest litigation in the High Court of Judicature at Allahabad. That Court declined to enter upon the merits, taking the view that the question of directions for the release of such prisoners was already engaging the Supreme Court. Thus, leading to the matter now being listed before a Bench of Justices M.M. Sundresh and Prasanna B. Varale. The default disclosed by this material apart from flagging the non-compliance with the Supreme Court order underscores violations of statutory and constitutional imperatives. Sections 12 and 13 of the Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987 cast a positive obligation upon the legal services authorities to extend free legal services to persons in custody. The preparation of a report upon the socio-economic condition of a prisoner, followed by an application to the concerned court for modification of the conditions of her bail, falls squarely within the species of service that the statute contemplates. The failure to render that service is therefore a dereliction of a statutory trust, independently cognisable in writ jurisdiction, and is not dependent for its characterisation upon the 2023 order. The constitutional position has been settled for nearly five decades. In Moti Ram v. State of Madhya Pradesh , Krishna Iyer J. held that bail includes release upon one's own bond and condemned the insistence upon a surety from the accused's own district. He reasoned that a bail order clogged with conditions which the accused cannot conceivably meet amounts in substance to a refusal of bail. In Hussainara Khatoon v. Home Secretary, State of Bihar , Bhagwati J. held that an accused should in appropriate cases be released upon his personal bond without monetary obligation, and Pathak J., in a separate opinion, observed that the deprivation of liberty for the reason of poverty only is an incongruous element. In Rashidul Jafar v. State of Uttar Pradesh , a matter arising from Uttar Pradesh, the Supreme Court observed that the promise of equality in our Constitution would not be fulfilled if liberty were to be conditional upon an individual's resources. The High Court of Delhi traversed substantially the same ground in Ajay Verma v. Government of NCT of Delhi . Recording that it was extremely pained to note that 253 prisoners remained in jail disregarding the law laid down upon the subject. The Division Bench directed that every bail order be marked upon the file; that it be the responsibility of every judge issuing an order of bail to monitor its execution and enforcement; and that the prison authorities promptly bring to the notice of the trial court and of the Secretary of the legal services authority any instance of a prisoner unable to secure release despite an order of bail. Article 21 of the Indian Constitution mandates that no person should be deprived of personal liberty except according to procedure established by law that is fair, just and reasonable . The continued imprisonment of a person after the judicial grant of bail is attributable wholly to administrative inaction and offends the scheme of Article 21. Thus, the non-adherence of the 2023 orders is an unacceptable dereliction of statutory duty by the prison administration that fatally undermines the constitutional rights of the undertrial prisoners. The Administrative Production of Inaction While the current application focuses merely on the non-implementation of the 2023 order in the state of Uttar Pradesh, the situation in the rest of the country can be anyones guess. The question that the application poses is: why have the directions addressed to identified officers, and issued by the highest court, produced no measurable administrative response over three years? The explanation does not lie in any deficiency of information. The record-keeping disclosed in the application is, on the contrary, meticulous. The mere fact that 18 districts across U.P. were able to produce precise information of the undertrials; including their personal records, the alleged crime and the date of the bail order, demonstrates that the problem is not of record keeping. Thus, the information required to activate Direction 4 and mitigate the prisoners inability to arrange sureties or monetary conditions was present in every case. What was absent was an officer under a legally enforceable obligation to act upon that information. The prison administration was cognizant of both the remedial supreme court order and the beneficiaries who would be entitled to it, but the thrust of duty that linked the former to the later was totally absent. This lack of enforcement in the face of proper documentation points to a systemic flaw, rooted in the very character of the administrative apparatus. The structure of district administration inherited at independence was designed for the supervision of a subject population rather than for the delivery of services to a citizenry. An apparatus so designed is proficient at enumeration and structurally indifferent to outcome. It is designed to know where every person is; it has no institutional empathy to enquire what the fact of her being there is producing. The consequence is that the maintenance of an accurate record comes to be treated as the discharge of the underlying obligation. Till the entry against the prisoner's name in the column headed reason for non-release is complete, the continued detention of that prisoner is nobodys assigned concern. Its practical effect is to render the affected persons invisible for anyone minded to assist them. While this systemic invisibilisation of undertrial prisoners is an inevitable result of our administrative structure; it also points to a solution that would not be hard to implement. No statutory amendment, additional budgetary allocation, creation of new posts or technological advancement is required to realise the constitutional promise of liberty. The impediment is not an absence of legal authority, but an absence of will, together with the absence of any officer upon whom such duty has been imposed. Thus, the existing machinery being operated by the existing officers can produce the desired result, provided: (a) undertrial prisoners are viewed not as state subjects but as rights bearing citizens; and (b) there is a mechanism to hold the prison administration accountable for infringing on their rights. Conclusion The application examined in this article establishes three propositions. First, that the directions issued on January 31, 2023 have been undone by the very administrative latency they sought to correct. Second, that the resulting detentions are attributable to the omission of identified statutory functionaries acting in contravention of law, and therefore offend Article 21 of the Constitution of India. Third, that the remedy is administratively feasible and can be implemented within the current system without major administrative restructuring. The U.P. experience ultimately discloses that even if the design seems to be in order there is defect to hold people to account. . The 2023 order allocated functions with precision but attached no consequence to their non-performance. It is painful to note that an administrative culture that measures itself by the accuracy of its records remains stubbornly insensitive to the condition of the persons recorded and the adverse impact it generates on their liberty. Therefore, the reliefs now being sought before the Supreme Court deserve to be catalogued. The reliefs, among others, include a time-bound direction to the State Legal Services Authority, a requirement for submission of district-wise compliance affidavits and a continuing monitoring mechanism. These are aimed at curing that shortcomings and deficiencies. The festival of Diwali falls on November 8, 2026. Among others this festival of lights celebrates attempts to dispel darkness. Thousands of undertrial prisoners across the country remain in custody deprived of light of liberty despite subsisting court orders directing their release. Whether they will be home by Diwali depends on something as basic as an administrative apparatus willing to fulfil its most elementary obligation: to give effect to a judicial order restoring liberty.

On Police commemoration day, Amit Shah sets December 2029 deadline to make India drug-free
New Delhi, Oct 21: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday called upon police forces across the country to intensify efforts against drug abuse and trafficking, setting December 31, 2029, as the target to free India from the drug menace. Addressing a Police Commemoration Day ceremony at the National Police Memorial in New Delhi, Shah urged police forces to work towards implementing the roadmap for a Nasha Mukt Bharat prepared under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Shah also flagged off a nationwide motorcycle rally carrying the message Fight Against Drugs as part of the campaign against substance abuse. The rally features around 90 riders from Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh and Delhi, along with personnel from the Central Armed Police Forces and other central police organisations. The riders will proceed to Ekta Nagar in Gujarat to participate in the Ekta Parade-2026. Shah said drug abuse and trafficking threatened the future of younger generations, placed an unnecessary burden on the economy and could provide financial support to organisations with anti-national intentions. He called for coordinated efforts over the remainder of 2026 and the next three years to achieve the drug-free India target. At the ceremony, the Home Minister paid tribute to police personnel who laid down their lives in the line of duty, saying their sacrifices had laid the foundation for Indias security and progress. He described 2026 as a significant year for the Indian police, stating that the country had achieved freedom from Naxalism on March 31, 2026. According to Shah, more than 3,600 security personnel and nearly 13,700 civilians lost their lives during the decades-long Naxal conflict. He said the sacrifices of security personnel had contributed to the countrys progress and expressed gratitude to the families of those killed in the line of duty. Recalling the origins of Police Commemoration Day, Shah said October 21 marked the anniversary of the 1959 incident in the Hot Springs region of Ladakh, where 10 CRPF personnel laid down their lives while resisting an attack by Chinese troops. The National Police Memorial, inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2018, honours police personnel who sacrificed their lives in service of the nation. Shah said citizens visit the memorial to pay tribute to 36,852 police personnel. He described police service as one of the most challenging government services, noting that personnel often remain on duty during festivals and other occasions to maintain public safety and internal security. Shah also praised the Central Armed Police Forces for their role in securing borders, managing elections and maintaining public order. He said the forces had helped ensure that the recently concluded West Bengal Assembly elections were conducted without a single fatality. The Home Minister further said that Kashmir, the North-East and areas affected by Left-Wing Extremism, which had faced prolonged internal security challenges, were witnessing peace and moving towards development. He credited security forces with curbing terrorism in Kashmir, advancing peace in the North-East and tackling Naxalism. Police Commemoration Day is observed annually on October 21 to honour police personnel who have made the supreme sacrifice in the line of duty.

Jio Platforms IPO fully subscribed in 100 minutes, fastest among mega-issues
New Delhi, Oct 21: Telecom behemoth Jio Platforms Ltd's Rs 30,213-crore initial public offering was fully subscribed within 100 minutes of opening on Wednesday, making it the fastest among India's mega-issues to attract bids for all shares on offer, as institutional investors led an early rush for the country's largest-ever IPO. The issue had attracted bids for 28.31 crore shares against 19.75 crore shares on offer as of 12:33 p.m., translating into overall subscription of 1.43 times, according to exchange data. The offering remains open until October 23. Demand was heavily skewed towards qualified institutional buyers, whose reserved portion was subscribed 4.13 times, with bids for 20.23 crore shares against 4.90 crore shares on offer. Domestic financial institutions, including banks and insurers, bid for 13.40 crore shares, while foreign institutional investors sought 5.94 crore shares. The response from other investor categories was more subdued. The portion reserved for non-institutional investors was subscribed 0.57 times, while retail investors bid for 3.74 crore shares against 8.50 crore shares reserved for them, equivalent to 0.44 times subscription. The employee reservation was subscribed 0.95 times and the shareholder reservation 0.82 times. The early pace sets Jio apart from other large Indian offerings. Bajaj Housing Finance's IPO was fully subscribed by 2 p.m. on its opening day, while LG Electronics India's offering reached full subscription by the end of Day 1 in 2025. Hyundai Motor India's Rs 27,870-crore IPO, which held the previous record for India's largest public offering, was subscribed just 18 per cent by the end of its first day in 2024. Jio's offering is also structurally different from those of Hyundai and LG Electronics, both of which were entirely offers for sale by existing shareholders. Jio is issuing up to 27 crore new shares, meaning the proceeds will go to the company rather than to shareholders selling their holdings. Priced at Rs 1,065 to Rs 1,119 a share, the IPO would value Jio Platforms at about USD 108 billion at the upper end of the range. The offering is set to surpass Hyundai Motor India's record and marks a landmark public-market test for the digital and telecom business of Reliance Industries Ltd, controlled by billionaire Mukesh Ambani. The strong institutional response follows an equally robust anchor-investor book. Jio allotted shares worth about Rs 8,110 crore to 212 anchor investors at Rs 1,119 apiece on Monday. Bids for that allocation exceeded Rs 2.5 lakh crore, or more than 30 times the shares available, according to people familiar with the matter. The scale of demand signals strong institutional appetite for exposure to Jio's large telecom customer base and its ambitions in digital services, cloud computing and artificial intelligence. The company had 533.3 million customers, according to figures cited by its Managing Director, Akash Ambani, who has positioned Jio's network and technology platforms as a foundation for expansion beyond connectivity. The IPO will test whether investors are willing to value Jio not just as India's largest telecom operator, but as a broader technology platform capable of generating higher-margin revenue from enterprise services, cloud and AI. That transition is central to the company's growth story as subscriber additions alone become a less powerful driver of expansion.

You Cant Keep Everything Inside: Veda On Harmanpreets Emotional Return To Form
New Delhi: Former India cricketer Veda Krishnamurthy has backed Harmanpreet Kaurs importance to the national side after the experienced batter returned to form with a significant innings during Indias T20I series against Zimbabwe, explaining that the emotions she displayed afterwards reflected the passion she continues to bring to the game. The innings, played during Indias 3-0 series sweep in Zimbabwe, offered a timely boost for the senior batter as the team looks towards the upcoming Champions Trophy. Although Harmanpreet no longer leads India as captain, her role in the batting line-up remains crucial. With the major tournament approaching and India preparing to compete in home conditions, Krishnamurthy believes the team will continue to rely on the former skippers experience and ability to deliver when it matters. I think thats exactly what is expected of her. Even though shes not the captain now, shes still a key batter India would want to have in the line-up, especially with the upcoming Champions Trophy campaign in Indian conditions. Having the experience of someone like Harman is important, and its important that she gets runs as well. So, it was good to see her back among the runs, Veda told JioStar. Harmanpreets return to form, therefore, gives India another reason for optimism, particularly with the responsibility of producing under pressure likely to increase as the Champions Trophy approaches. However, it was not simply the batting performance that caught Krishnamurthys attention. Harmanpreets emotional response also prompted the former India player to reflect on how the senior batter expresses herself, both during matches and away from the field. Theres a lot of passion when youre playing cricket, and passion also brings emotion. Certain players have a tendency not to show it, but Harman is someone whos shown those emotions in the past as well, whether it is on the field or during interviews. Shes someone who wears her heart on her sleeve, someone who probably expresses a lot more than other players. Sometimes you cant keep everything inside, and you feel good when you express yourself. Then you saw her on the field, smiling and laughing around. Thats how Harman is, she added. However, it was not simply the batting performance that caught Krishnamurthys attention. Harmanpreets emotional response also prompted the former India player to reflect on how the senior batter expresses herself, both during matches and away from the field.

Chakaravarthy Will Be 'awkward' To Face On Bouncy New Zealand Pitches: Shane Bond
Former New Zealand: Former New Zealand fast bowler Shane Bond believes wrist-spinner Varun Chakaravarthy will be an awkward proposition to deal with for New Zealand's batters when the T20I series starts in Christchurch on Thursday because of the extra bounce in early season pitches, despite conditions expected to favour pacers. Chakaravarthy, who has picked 75 wickets in 49 games, returned to Indias T20I squad for the five-game series in New Zealand after recovering from a side strain sustained after playing the first game of the T20I series against Afghanistan in New Delhi last month, following an earlier recovery from a hamstring issue. The side strain injury led to Chakaravarthy being sidelined for the one-off match against Japan and the Asian Games. It remains to be seen how India fit Chakaravarthy in the playing eleven, especially with other spin-bowling options- Kuldeep Yadav, Axar Patel and Naman Dhir- in the mix. It's good to see Chakravarthy back in. He's something that's completely different and unique. Quality bowler, I've seen so much of him in the IPL and he's been such a stalwart for KKR. He's just so different and because of the bounce here in New Zealand too, he'll be awkward to deal with. India have always just had great frontline spin bowlers. So the two teams have got quality across both sides and those spinners battles with Santner obviously for New Zealand and the likes of Chakravarthy for India are still important even in conditions that you think are going to favour fast bowling, Bond told IANS in an exclusive conversation. He also backed teenage batting sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, whom Bond saw from the closest quarters as part of Rajasthan Royals (RR) coaching staff in the IPL, to get game time in New Zealand. Since the T20I series win over Zimbabwe in July, Vaibhav has played two games during the Asian Games gold medal-winning campaign in Japan, as India have largely preferred Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma as their first-choice opening pair. I'm looking forward to seeing Vaibhav. He's just such an incredible talent, and he's a great kid as well. It's awesome for him to be travelling with the Indian team and he deserves his spot in the side. He was the standout player in the IPL this year. He was just sensational, and it's hard to ignore that sort of talent, not only the talent, but the production of shots from him and what a devastating player he can be, added Bond. He also acknowledged the tough competition Sooryavanshi is facing to get into the playing eleven. He's earned his spot, but there are some quality players in that squad and for Vaibhav to be coming to play in a place like New Zealand, experiencing the training conditions, everything that goes with being here, I'd be hoping that he would come on a number of tours here and play some games. But even if he doesn't, he's better prepared for the next time, as he knows what he's walking into. He's such a good player. He's one of those players who puts fear into other teams and part of him is just, again, adapting to conditions that are slightly different. But he's so good, there's no doubt that he'll do that and the New Zealand public will be really excited to see him play and I hope he's playing on Thursday night. India are without injured all-rounder Hardik Pandya, whos been out of action since IPL 2026 due to recurring injuries, and Bond hoped to see him back on the field in the foreseeable future. Obviously it's a shame Hardik's not here. He's such a great player and adds such balance to a team. He's going to be a key figure for India in the couple of World Cups that are coming up. But there's not too much you can do about injury and I suppose from an Indian perspective, it gives you the opportunity to see what your team looks like, your balance looks like without a player like Hardik Pandya, and who could potentially fill the role if he is injured later on in the year. But you've got a great player to come back anyway. I suppose from an Indian perspective, you're just getting to see a different option. But New Zealand's probably in the same boat as well. They're stacked with spin bowling all-rounders and are looking for that seam bowling all-rounder the Jacob Oram or Scott Styris type of player in the top six while being involved with those seamers. So, it's not easy. As I said, both teams have been set up pretty similarly, and I'm looking forward to seeing Hardik back on the field soon because he is such a great player, he elaborated. Bond also went on to acknowledge the difficulty of adjusting quickly to New Zealand conditions after making the long trip from India, something which Samson mentioned. Looking forward to seeing Sanju actually. He's right - it's never easy to get off a plane. You're only in the country for a couple of days, got a little bit of jet lag going on because it's a long flight to get here and have limited training time, particularly on wickets at this time of the season that are generally a little bit spicy. So it's not easy to get into your flow and rhythm as a batsman, and that's let alone acclimatising to everything else. One thing for the Indian team is they're never short of practice and playing cricket. So even though the conditions may be different and you might not get as much practice as you want to, look, match fit and the guys are in form, and they're such good players that I'm expecting to still come out and blaze away. Bond further said hes eager to catch up with the tearaway pacer Mayank Yadav, whose raw speed has been critical in Indias T20I bowling plans. Looking forward to reconnecting with Mayank Yadav, who was here for his back surgery, and spend a bit of time with him. So, it'll be good to see him in action. Bond signed off by declining to assess Shreyas Iyer's captaincy tenure so far. I can't really comment on Shreyas in terms of his leadership because I just haven't seen those games to be honest. I haven't watched much of the T20 games from India because it's just been on a different time zone and I was on a holiday. So in terms of captaincy, look, it's never easy when the ball's flying around the park and big scores are being had and you're always under scrutiny as a captain based on decisions you make. Bond signed off by declining to assess Shreyas Iyer's captaincy tenure so far. I can't really comment on Shreyas in terms of his leadership because I just haven't seen those games to be honest.
