Saved by a divine hand: Justice Cyriac Joseph recalls 1979 plane crash He escaped
KOCHI : As the country mourns the victims of the recent Ahmedabad air crash, former Supreme Court Judge Cyriac Joseph has shared a deeply personal memory of how he narrowly escaped a deadly air tragedy 45 years ago. In October 1979, a Western Airways flight from Los Angeles to Mexico City crashed, killing all 207 passengers and crew on board. Justice Joseph, then a 32-year-old lawyer from Kochi, was scheduled to be on that very flight. A delay in his connecting flight from Singapore saved his life. I was travelling from Kochi to attend the Federal Assembly of Pax Romana in Mexico City, representing India as the Secretary General of the Newman Association of India, he said. Seven of us from Asia were flying together. Our flight from Singapore to Los Angeles was delayed, and we missed the connection to Mexico City. That delay saved us. Among the group was a delegate from Hong Kong who had planned to travel with the same team. He advanced his travel to spend a few days with his brother in the United States. Though he had initially booked a different flight to Mexico City from LA, he cancelled it to join the rest of the Asian team on the Western Airways flight. Tragically, he boarded the ill-fated plane and perished, while the rest of the team missed the flight and escaped the crash. The Ahmedabad crash brought back vivid memories of the Divine Mercy I received that day, Justice Joseph said. It was a life spared by fate, and I remain ever grateful. He later went on to become a judge of the Kerala High Court and the Supreme Court of India, carrying with him the lasting memory of a narrow escape that shaped his journey forward.

MANGALURU: Legislative Assembly Speaker UT Khader has urged Home Minister G Parameshwar to order an inquiry into the failure of previous Mangaluru city police commissioner Anupam Agrawal and Dakshina Kannada Superintendent of Police Yatish N to curb hate speech and inflammatory posts on social media. This comes after the murder of rowdy-sheeter and Hindutwa activist Suhas Shetty. Talking to reporters, Khader said he had asked these officers to take strict action against hate speech and inflammatory posts that had peaked in social media after Suhas' murder and added that they had expressed helplessness to do so, citing loopholes in the laws. Comparing them with Sudheer Kumar Reddy and Dr Arun K, who replaced them, Khader said the strict actions initiated by the new set of officials has reduced the hate speech and inflammatory posts by over 90 per cent now. Stating that all IPS officers clear the same exam and go through the same training, he asked them why the previous officials failed to curb the crime. There should be action against them following an inquiry by a top-ranking official, he said and also stressed the need for the home department to come out with a Standard Operating Procedure (SoP) for the police officers to deal with specific crimes. Further, the Speaker appealed to the civil society, advocates, courts and media to 'disown' the accused in the recent three murders in DK in order to curb hate crime and murders in the region. It's not just the responsibility of the government to stop them. The society should also shoulder the responsibility, he said. Asked whether he was right to give a call to 'disown' the accused even before they are proven guilty, he said all he meant was that society should not help them to easily get away with the crime. Condemning the murder of Abdul Rahiman, Khader said he was hacked to death by those who had helped them. He was asked to deliver sand and when he was on his way to do so, he even picked the mother of one of the accused and dropped her home. After delivering sand, when he asked for money, he was murdered. Asked why the police have still not revealed Rahiman's murder motive even weeks after the incident and despite rumours that the crime was a result of a 'personal matter' and not communal, he said the police should answer this question. Further, when asked whether he thinks that it was a communal murder, Khader said he doesnt know. To another query on whether he will also visit the family of Suhas Shetty, Khader said he will if invited. During a similar incident in the past, some asked me not to visit their family. I visited Rahiman's family as I was invited, he said.
Cash discovery row: Congress asks Centre to share SC report on allegations against Justice Varma
NEW DELHI: The Congress has asked the government to share with it the report of a Supreme Court-appointed committee that probed graft allegations against Justice Yashwant Varma so that it can firm up its stand on the issue of his impeachment before the Monsoon session of Parliament, party sources said on Thursday. The government, however, is yet to respond, the sources said. Several burnt sacks containing cash were allegedly discovered at Justice Varma's residence in Delhi after a fire broke out there in March, when he was a Delhi High Court judge. Though the judge, who was later transferred to the Allahabad High Court, has claimed ignorance about the cash, the Supreme Court-appointed committee indicted him after speaking to a number of witnesses and recording his statement. Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju has initiated discussions with all political parties to bring an impeachment motion against Justice Varma in Parliament's Monsoon session, starting from July 21. The Congress sources said the party has asked Rijiju to share the report of the committee so that it can firm up its stand on the issue of impeachment. The minister is yet to get back to the Congress, they said. Cash discovery row: Resignation only option before Justice Varma to avoid removal by Parliament Last week, Rijiju underlined the government's resolve to take all political parties on board in moving the impeachment motion against Justice Varma, saying corruption in the judiciary cannot be approached through a political prism. He said the government wants the exercise to be a collaborative effort. According to the Judges (Inquiry) Act of 1968, once a motion to remove a judge is admitted in any of the Houses, the speaker or the chairman, as the case may be, will constitute a three-member committee to investigate the grounds on which the removal (or, in popular term, impeachment) has been sought. The committee consists of the chief justice of India (CJI) or a Supreme Court judge, the chief justice of one of the 25 high courts and a distinguished jurist. Rijiju, however, has said the present case is slightly different as an in-house committee formed by former CJI Sanjiv Khanna has already submitted its report. So what is to be done in this matter, we will take a call, he said earlier. The minister had said the process has to be followed, but how to integrate the inquiry already conducted needs to be decided. Following the Supreme Court's in-house inquiry, former CJI Sanjeev Khanna is believed to have prodded Varma to resign but he dug in his heels. The apex court has since transferred him to his parent cadre, the Allahabad High Court, where he has not been assigned any judicial work. Former CJI Khanna had written to the president and the prime minister, recommending Justice Varma's impeachment. 'Justice Yashwant Varma to be impeached?' Senior Advocate Sanjay Hegde explains

Take swift action in crimes against women: Andhra CM to cops
VIJAYAWADA: Taking serious note of two distressing incidents involving girls in the combined Anantapur district, Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu directed police officials to deal sternly with crimes against women. He emphasized that the state must instill fear in the minds of potential offenders by demonstrating swift and strict law enforcement action. On Tuesday, the CM held a review meeting at his Camp Office in Undavalli regarding the murder of an intermediate student in Anantapur and the rape of a minor girl in Yedugurallapalli, Ramagiri mandal of Sri Sathya Sai district. The Director General of Police (DGP) and other senior officials briefed the Chief Minister on the progress of investigations in both cases. He was informed that the girl killed in Anantapur, identified as S Tanmayi, was murdered by someone known to her. In the Yedugurallapalli case, a group of individuals had been repeatedly sexually assaulting a minor girl over a period of timea deeply disturbing crime. The Chief Minister expressed deep anguish over the incidents and, after reviewing the case details, emphasized that the accused must be punished without delay. He instructed officials to complete investigations quickly, file charge sheets, and ensure that trials are concluded at the earliest. He stressed the importance of gathering strong evidence with utmost care to ensure the harshest possible punishment for the accused. He further stated that not just these two cases, but any instance of violence, abuse, or sexual assault against women must be met with decisive police action that sends a clear message to society. Referring to the previous government, he remarked that for five years there had been no control over criminal activities, and due to the proliferation of drug and ganja culture, many offenders acted with impunity. He issued strict instructions to crack down on ganja gangs and stated that the police are being given a free hand to act. A 100% visible change must be achieved, he asserted. Chief Secretary K Vijayanand, DGP Harish Kumar Gupta, Intelligence Chief Mahesh Chandra Laddha, and other officials were present. Accused in Tanmayi murder case arrested The main accused in the murder of intermediate student S Tanmayi, 27-year-old Kuruba Naresh, a resident of 6th Road, Anantapur town, was arrested on Tuesday. Providing details at a press conference Anantapur District SP P Jagadish said that the accused, Naresh, a married tiles worker with no children, had developed a relationship with Tanmayi while working near her home in Ramakrishna Colony. They had planned to get married. However, Naresh later decided to eliminate her, allegedly because she was well-acquainted with others in the colony. On the night of June 3, the accused lured Tanmayi to the fields of Gotkur village in Kuderu mandal around 10 pm. On June 4, he fatally struck her on the back of the head with a stone. As part of the investigation, Naresh was arrested at 12 pm on Tuesday under Section 103 of the BNS, Section 3(2)(v) of the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. The bike and two stones used in the crime were seized. The SP added that a proposal would be sent to the government to cancel all welfare schemes for such families and to attach their properties. He also stated that he would request the judiciary to ensure that such cases are resolved expeditiously. One Town CI G Rajendranath Yadav has been suspended for negligence in the investigation.
Karnataka HC raps cops for whimsical pursuit of justice for a cat, quashes FIR as melodrama
BENGALURU: A domestic cat named Daisy appears to have driven everyone crazy, and even the criminal justice system and police ought not to have entertained a kidnap complaint, which did not indicate any cognizable offence, the Karnataka High Court said, quashing criminal proceedings initiated by a woman against her neighbour, who was chargesheeted by police entertaining a frivolous complaint for extraneous reasons. If the contents of the complaint are seen, it shocks the conscience of the court as to how the jurisdictional police could have registered the complaint. There is no offence in the complaint, except a missing cat and alleged wrongful custody of the cat in the house of the accused. The safety of her cat, which the complainant contends she was taking care of like a child, forms the fulcrum of the complaint. The entire police machinery gets involved in the case of a missing cat, recording statements of neighbours, checking CCTV footage and finding nothing, but filing a charge sheet, dropping offences under Sections 428 and 429 IPC, but retaining offences under Sections 504 (intentional insult), 506 (criminal intimidation) and 509 (insult the modesty of a woman) of the IPC, the high court observed. Justice M Nagaprasanna made these observations while allowing the petition filed by Taha Husain of Shikharipalya of Anekal taluk in Bengaluru Rural district, questioning the FIR registered by Hebbagodi police, based on a complaint dated February 1, 2022, by Nikitha Anjana Iyer, who resides in an apartment next to the petitioner. It was alleged that Daisy went missing and in a case of kidnapping, the cat had been wrongfully confined by the petitioner. The complainant underwent unnecessary stress and emotional trauma. The charge sheet narrates that abuses were hurled and sexual gestures made against the complainant by the petitioner. Quashing the proceedings, the court said a plethora of cases is filed, complaining that police are not entertaining the complaints. But here, for a missing cat and no other offence, FIR is registered only to assuage the feelings of the complainant, who is distressed because the cat leapt from one window to another, the court observed. It is not merely present prosecution warrants judicial censure, it is symptomatic misuse of the criminal process, where hurt feelings or robust grievances masquerade as legal wrongs. If such frivolous grievances are allowed to blossom into a full-fledged criminal trial, it would be nothing but wasting of precious judicial time... and more gravely, diverting police resources from genuine grievances.... putting a premium on the litigious persistence of the complainant and reducing the criminal justice system to conduct a trial, in a melodrama woven around a cat, the court observed. Permitting the petitioner to initiate proceedings for malicious prosecution against the complainant as she was not represented by an advocate, the court said police too deserve stern admonishing, for allowing themselves to be swept into whimsical pursuit of justice for a cat. Cases of this nature should serve as a gentle but firm reminder to all stakeholders in the criminal justice system that the law is a solemn instrument and not a toy to be played at the altar of personal pique, the court added.
