Justice Sanjay K. Agrawal sworn in as 44th Chief Justice of Rajasthan HC
Jaipur, Sep 7 (IANS) Justice Sanjay K. Agrawal, formerly a judge of the Chhattisgarh High Court, was sworn in as the 44th Chief Justice of the Rajasthan High Court at a ceremony held at Raj Bhavan here on Monday. Rajasthan Governor Haribhau Bagde administered the oath of office in the presence of senior judicial officers, government representatives and top administrative officials. Following the oath-taking ceremony, Justice Agrawal signed the warrant of appointment issued by the Rashtrapati Bhavan, formally completing the process of assuming charge as the new Chief Justice of the Rajasthan High Court. Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma, Deputy Chief Ministers Diya Kumari and Premchand Bairwa, several state ministers and all judges of the Rajasthan High Court attended the ceremony. Rajasthan Chief Secretary V. Srinivas was also present. The ceremony also saw the presence of outgoing Acting Chief Justice Sanjeev Prakash Sharma, whose tenure had been the subject of controversy in recent months. The appointment of Justice Agrawal comes at a significant time for the Rajasthan High Court, following developments surrounding the office of the Acting Chief Justice. With his formal assumption of office, Justice Agrawal will now oversee the judicial and administrative functioning of the Rajasthan High Court. As Chief Justice, he will have a key role in the allocation of judicial responsibilities, administrative supervision and ensuring the smooth functioning of the court. The swearing-in ceremony brought together the state's top political, judicial and administrative leadership, underlining the importance of the change at the helm of the High Court. Justice Agrawal's appointment is expected to usher in a new phase for the Rajasthan High Court, with the new Chief Justice taking charge of the institution's judicial administration and day-to-day functioning. The formal ceremony at Raj Bhavan marked the beginning of Justice Agrawal's tenure as the 44th Chief Justice of the Rajasthan High Court. His appointment assumes added significance as the court moves forward following the recent controversy involving its previous acting leadership. Supreme Court Justice Sandeep Mehta had recently written to the Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant seeking Justice Sharma's transfer out of Rajasthan and appointment of a regular Chief Justice from another High Court. Justice Mehta had raised allegations concerning Justice Sharma's exercise of administrative powers and the listing of cases. The controversy also triggered protests by lawyers at both the Jaipur and Jodhpur benches of the Rajasthan High Court, with lawyers demanding that Justice Sharma be divested of his charge as Acting Chief Justice. Justice Sharma, who is set to retire later this month, has denied the allegations against him.

Ten convicted in 2013 Jhiram Valley Maoist attack on Congress leaders in Bastar
Jagdalpur/Raipur, Sep 5 (IANS) A special National Investigation Agency (NIA) court in Chhattisgarh's Bastar region has convicted 10 people in connection with the 2013 Jhiram Valley Maoist attack, one of the deadliest instances of left-wing extremist violence in the state's recent history. The attack, which took place on May 25, 2013, claimed 29 lives and virtually wiped out a significant portion of the Congress' senior leadership in Chhattisgarh. The court found all 10 remaining accused guilty after a prolonged trial. Eleven persons had been charged in the case; one of them has since died. The 10 convicts were brought from Jagdalpur Central Jail to attend the final arguments. The date for the court judgment had been fixed twice after the conclusion of argumentsinitially for August 31 and later deferred to September 5before the court delivered its findings. Security forces have long described the Jhiram Valley ambush as among the worst examples of Maoist violence. On the afternoon of May 25, 2013, a convoy of Congress leaders and workers was returning from a 'Parivartan Rally' held in Sukma. Around 200 leaders and workers were travelling in 25 vehicles along the national highway under the Darbha police station limits in Bastar district when Maoists struck. The Maoists had felled trees across the road, forcing the vehicles to halt. More than 200 Maoists then opened fire. Among those killed were the then State Congress President Nand Kumar Patel and his son Dinesh Patel, former Leader of the Opposition Mahendra Karma, former Union Minister Vidya Charan Shukla, and former MLA Uday Mudliyar. Several civilians and security personnel also lost their lives. Mahendra Karma, widely regarded as the initiator of the Salwa Judum movement, was specifically targeted; he was shot more than 100 times after the Maoists identified him during a systematic check of the vehicles that began around 5:30 p.m. The Central government handed over the investigation to the NIA on May 27, 2013. The agency filed its first chargesheet in the special court on September 24, 2014, naming 39 accused. A supplementary chargesheet submitted on September 28, 2015, added 88 more names. In the specific trial that has now concluded, the NIA had presented a nearly 1,000-page chargesheet in 2015 that focused on 11 accused, 10 of whom remained alive and in custody at Jagdalpur Central Jail. The prosecution examined 101 witnesses. The defence did not present a single witness. When the Congress government assumed office in Chhattisgarh in 2018, the then Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel constituted a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to re-examine aspects of the case. The High Court later stayed the SIT's investigation, and the matter continued before the NIA special court. The 2013 attack occurred ahead of the Chhattisgarh Assembly elections, when the Congress was seeking to challenge the then Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government led by the then Chief Minister Raman Singh. The targeting of senior leaders, particularly Mahendra Karma because of his association with the anti-Maoist Salwa Judum campaign, underscored the depth of the Maoists' hostility toward political figures perceived as threats to their influence in the Bastar region.
