Justice Gavai praises Fali S Narimans constitutional legacy at memorial lecture
Travesty of justice that secularism not given its due in Ayodhya verdict, says ex-SC judge Nariman
NEW DELHI: Former Supreme Court Justice R F Nariman has criticised the top court's 2019 judgement in the Ramjanmabhoomi-Babri Masjid case, describing it as a great travesty of justice that did not do justice to the principle of secularism. Speaking at the First Justice A M Ahmadi Memorial Lecture on 'Secularism and the Indian Constitution', Justice Nariman, however, said the judgment had a silver lining as it upheld the Places of Worship (Special Provisions) Act 1991. He said the Places of Worship Act should be strictly implemented to end disputes over religious places which are popping up every day across the country like hydra heads. In my opinion, a great travesty of justice was that secularism was not given its due by these judgements, Justice Nariman said. He also disagreed with the reasoning given by the court to grant the disputed land despite holding that the demolition of the mosque was illegal. Today we find hydra heads popping all over the country. We find suits after suits not only against mosques but also against dargahs. All this, according to me could lead to communal disharmony. The only way to scorch and cauterize all this is by applying these five pages in this very judgement and having it read out in every district court and high court. As these five pages are a declaration by the Supreme Court which binds each of them, he said. The former apex court judge also pointed out how a special CBI judge -- Surendra Yadav -- who acquitted all the accused in the mosque demolition case, got a post-retirement job as deputy Lokayukta in Uttar Pradesh. This is the state of affairs in this country, he said.

'Dheera Bhagat Roy' movie review: A struggle for social justice amidst melodrama
Kannada cinema has long managed to bring out the challenges faced by common people under the feudal system, and Dheera Bhagat Roy falls into that category. It attempts to address the crucial theme of the aftermath of the Land Reforms Act and the violence that followed. But will it manage to deliver a cohesive and impactful narrative? Set against a backdrop of social change, the film centers on Rajan (Rakesh Dalawai), an advocate who returns to his hometown to seek justice for the oppressed and avenge his fathers death. However, the initial focus shifts from Rajans fight for justice to melodramatic moments and romance, diluting the films core message. Spanning across the 1970s and 1990s, the story explores Rajans battle against Varadaiah (Sharath Lohitashwa), a ruthless feudal lord, while also touching on the implications of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. The generational conflict between Rajan and his fathers legacy adds emotional weight to the story, but the films fragmented structure, jumping across different time periods, disrupts its flow. Directed by Karnan, the film portrays the resilience of the oppressed with raw intensity, focusing on their hardships and eventual uprising. The director ensures the story is not one of mere victimhood but of revolutionary action. However, despite its powerful themes, the film falters in execution. Blending social justice with action and melodrama, the film often detracts from its thematic depth. Rather than delving into the aftermath of the Land Reforms Act, the narrative veers into a revenge saga between Rajan and Varadaiah, undermining its potential to be a thought-provoking exploration of social reform. In terms of performances, Rakesh Dalawais portrayal of lawyer Rajan shows potential, but the script offers little room for character development. Sharath Lohitashwas Varadaiah feels like a one-dimensional villain, and the supporting cast delivers performances that are largely predictable and that signify typecasting. The disjointed timeline, pacing issues, and overreliance on melodrama overshadow the films noble intentions, leaving it as an average cinematic experience. With better execution, it could have become a more powerful commentary on social justice. Dheera Bhagat Roy Director: Karnan Cast: Rakesh Dalawai, Sucharitha Sahayaraj, Sharath Lohitashwa, Ninasam Ashwath, and Praveen Gowda Rating: 2.5/5

Baahubali-size crime: Producer, Santosh Sivans WhatsApp compromised
CHENNAI: A new modus operandi of cybercriminals, involving taking control of victims WhatsApp accounts, has claimed a string of victims, the latest being Shobu Yarlagadda, producer of the 2015 Telugu film Baahubali, National Award-winning cinematographer Santosh Sivan and one of his assistants. A complaint regarding the matter has been filed with the Tamil Nadu polices cyber crime wing and also in the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal. Further investigation is under way. Yarlagadda first flagged the incident in a post on X on Thursday night. Sivan too made a post on his Instagram on Friday morning stating, Please dont respond to any messages from me, its a scam. According to sources, the cybercriminals take control of a victims WhatsApp account by attempting to register it on a new device and obtaining the six-digit registration code sent via SMS by WhatsApp to the victims phone through social engineering manipulating victims into giving up sensitive information voluntarily. After gaining control of a victims account, they would message and attempt to hack the victims contacts. For instance, once the scamsters gained access to Sivans WhatsApp account, they attempted to register one of his assistants account on a new device. They then messaged the assistant pretending to be Sivan, using a similar pattern of words, requesting the verification code sent to his phone. Once he sent them the code, the scamsters gained access and he got locked out of his WhatsApp account. The victims usually get locked out of their accounts for at least 12 hours. Although WhatsApp states on its official website that a person accessing the same account on another device cannot read past conversations, victims are still worried about their personal information and data falling into the hands of the scamsters. In this instance, scamsters attempted to gain control of WhatsApp accounts of several other friends and contacts of Yarlagadda, Sivan and the assistant, which include top names across the Tamil and Malayalam film industries, by sending them similar messages. An attempt by one of Sivans relatives to warn people on a group chat regarding the incident was deleted by the scamsters in control of the assistants account as he was one of the groups administrators. Later, the groups settings were changed to allow only the administrators, in effect the scamsters, to send messages to the group. Sources said the scamsters have also started making requests for money to friends and family members of the victims using their WhatsApp accounts. TN CYBER CRIME WING WARNS PEOPLE ABOUT CYBER SLAVERY & JUMPED DEPOSIT SCAMS Chennai: The Tamil Nadu Cyber Crime Wing has issued a warning about two types of cyber scams that have been happening in the state. The first is cyber slavery where unauthorised recruiters operating through social media lure job seekers with promises of high-paying jobs abroad. The public is advised to only trust agencies authorised by the Protector of Emigrants (PoE), Ministry of External Affairs, verify recruiters via eMigrate portal. The PoE in Chennai shared 128 unauthorised recruiter URLs, which the police took down. The second scam is the Jumped Deposit Scam, where fraudsters target UPI users by sending a small, genuine deposit (e.g., `5,000) to their account, creating a false sense of legitimacy. The scamster then initiates a larger withdrawal request. When you check your balance and enter your PIN, you unknowingly authorise the withdrawal.

Supreme Court grants justice to Odisha constable after decades of struggle
NEW DELHI: Nearly 30 years after he was discharged from service, the Supreme Court came to the rescue of a 55-year-old police constable Dolamani Bisi by ordering the Odisha government to pay him a sum of Rs 25 lakh. As per the case, Bisi, was appointed as a temporary constable on July 16, 1993. At the time of his appointment the order specifically mentioned that there will be verification of his character and other antecedents. He joined the service on March 15, 1994. On further scrutiny, it was found that he was short of specified height and this led to his discharge from service, after serving for around 10 months, in 1995. Following his discharge from service, Bisi moved the State Administrative Tribunal (SAT) which dismissed his original application. He then moved the Odisha High Court which allowed his writ petition on October 9, 2020. The Odisha High Court ordered in favour of Bisi by directing the Odisha state government to reinstate him in the job. But the state filed a Special Leave Petition (SLP) in the apex court against the high court order. We are of the opinion that the interest of justice will be subserved if we grant substantial compensation to the respondent (Bisi) the two-judge bench of the apex court, led by Justice P S Narasimha and Justice Manoj Misra said, in the order. We direct the petitioner (Odisha government) to pay an amount of Rs.25,00,000/- to the respondent as full and final payment towards all subsisting and future claims that may arise, the order said. Supreme Court also said that this order should not be taken as precedent as the decision is taken considering the facts and circumstances of the case.

UK bans daytime TV ads for unhealthy foods to tackle child obesity
The United Kingdom government has introduced a new policy aimed at combating the growing issue of childhood obesity by banning daytime television advertisements for less healthy foods. The ban, which applies to products like burgers, muffins, and sugary snacks, is a significant step in addressing the rising concerns over the nation's health. The new measure will prevent brands from targeting children with ads promoting unhealthy foods during prime viewing hours. A Step Toward Healthier Habits The ban targets products that fail to meet nutritional standards, with a specific focus on foods that are high in fat, salt, and sugar. This initiative is part of the government's broader strategy to tackle childhood obesity, which has reached alarming levels in the UK. According to the National Health Service (NHS), nearly one in three children aged 10 to 11 is overweight or obese. The government has argued that these ads influence children's eating habits and contribute to unhealthy food choices. By limiting their exposure to such advertising, officials hope to encourage healthier eating habits among the younger population. Criticism and Support While health experts and advocacy groups have largely welcomed the move, some industry leaders have criticized the ban, arguing that it could have adverse effects on businesses and jobs in the food and advertising sectors. The Food and Drink Federation, a trade body representing many of the brands affected, voiced concerns about the economic impact of such measures. On the other hand, public health organizations have praised the decision, calling it a necessary step to protect children from the influence of unhealthy food marketing. Campaigners argue that early exposure to such advertisements can have long-term effects on children's health, and restricting these ads could play a crucial role in reducing childhood obesity rates. A Growing Concern Obesity is a complex issue that is influenced by various factors, including genetics, environment, and lifestyle choices. However, experts agree that advertising plays a significant role in shaping children's food preferences. The UK's new policy is part of a broader global trend aimed at addressing the rising rates of childhood obesity, with similar measures being considered or already implemented in other countries. The government is also focusing on education and healthier food choices in schools, with programs designed to promote better nutrition among young people. While this new advertising ban is a key part of the government's approach, many believe that tackling childhood obesity will require a multi-faceted approach, including changes in lifestyle, diet, and public awareness.

Madras HC refuses to quash POCSO Act case against headmaster charged for failing to report the crime
CHENNAI: Holding a school headmaster responsible for failing to report an offence of sexual assault of a student, the Madras High Court refused to quash the case pending against him in a special court for trial of cases under Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. The Headmaster is the guardian of the entire school. If any incident covered under the POCSO Act has taken place, the same has to be immediately intimated either to the District Child Protection Officer or to the police concerned whereas, in this case, the petitioner who was the Head Master of the School at the time of occurrence, neither informed about the sexual assault committed by the other accused to the authorities concerned nor taken any action against them, Justice P Velmurugan said in a recent order. Since there is a prima facie allegation against the petitioner, the court is not inclined to quash the charge sheet filed against him, the judge said while dismissing the petition filed by Aathimoolam, the headmaster. The petitioner contended that the incident was alleged to have occurred in 2018 while the complaint was given in 2022 but neither oral nor written complaint was received from the girl by him. He also stated that he was not named in the FIR but his name was included in the charge sheet. Citing the order of the Kerala High Court in a related case, he sought the court to quash the charge sheet against him. The judge said the facts and circumstances of the said case are different from the present case on hand. Especially in POCSO cases, each case has its own merits. At the stage of FIR or charge sheet, the Court cannot rely on any material and it has to be testified by way of trial. Justice Velmurugan directed the police to file a report before December 12 on whether the police has recommended to the authorities concerned for departmental action against the headmaster or any other action. He adjourned the case to December 16 for filing the report.

UK government to ban junk food ads for children
The UK government has revealed final details of a new law that will ban junk food advertisements aimed at children, starting in October 2025. The legislation, designed to curb childhood obesity, will prohibit TV ads for unhealthy food before the 9pm watershed and ban paid online junk food adverts targeted at children. The new restrictions will not apply to healthier options such as natural porridge oats and unsweetened yoghurt. This move aims to reduce the exposure of children to foods high in fat, sugar, and salt. The ban is expected to significantly cut childrens calorie intake, with an estimated 7.2 billion calories removed annually from their diets, potentially preventing 20,000 cases of childhood obesity. Wes Streeting, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, emphasised the importance of the legislation, stating, Obesity robs our kids of the best possible start in life, sets them up for a lifetime of health problems, and costs the NHS billions. He continued, This government is taking action now to end the targeting of junk food ads at kids, across both TV and online. This is the first step to deliver a major shift in the focus of healthcare from sickness to prevention. Childhood obesity has been a growing concern in the UK, with NHS data showing that nearly one in 10 reception-aged children are affected, and more than one in five children experience tooth decay by the age of five due to excessive sugar consumption. NHS National Medical Director, Professor Sir Stephen Powis, expressed support for the new measures. One in eight toddlers and primary school children are obese, and this is clearly a problem, he said. We need to work with the rest of society to prevent people becoming overweight in the first place. Obesity, which is the second biggest preventable cause of cancer, costs the UK health system over 11 billion each year. The new regulations are part of the governments broader approach to tackling preventable health issues and shifting the focus of healthcare towards prevention rather than treatment. The governments efforts are also reflected in the 10 Year Health Plan, set to be published in spring 2025, which aims to further address the causes of childhood obesity. A national online portal , has already garnered over one million visits, inviting the public, healthcare professionals, and NHS staff to contribute their ideas for improving the nations health. In India Obesity is a major problem as well, with a notable increase in both children and adults. In 2022, approximately 12.5 million children aged 5-19 were classified as overweight, marking a significant rise from just 0.4 million in 1990. Among adults, obesity rates have risen from 1.2% in women and 0.5% in men in 1990 to 9.8% and 5.4%, respectively, in 2022. This trend reflects a global concern, as India ranks 174th in obesity prevalence worldwide.
