One Chair Empty: Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann Absent As High Court Chief Justice Takes Oath
Justice Ashwani Kumar Mishra has taken oath as the Chief Justice of the Punjab and Haryana High Court, despite the Punjab Cabinets demand that his appointment and oath be kept on hold.

New Delhi, Sep 7 (IANS) The Delhi Police has constituted 10 separate teams to apprehend building owner Hariram Bansal in connection with the fatal collapse of the multi-storey building in Satya Niketan, as efforts to trace and arrest him have been intensified after a look-out notice was issued against him. The teams include personnel from the local district police and Special Staff, along with officers drawn from various operational departments of the district. Multiple teams have been formed to widen the search and ensure coordinated efforts to locate the absconding building owner. All 10 teams are being led by officers of the Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (Additional DCP) rank, with senior officers supervising the ongoing operation and coordinating searches across different locations. According to police, raids are currently being conducted at multiple locations in Delhi, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh as part of the efforts to trace Hariram and take him into custody.

Punjab Cabinet takes exception to appointment of High Court Chief Justice without state opinion
Chandigarh, Sep 6 (IANS) The Punjab Cabinet, chaired by Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, on Sunday condemned the BJP-led Central Government for bypassing the states constitutional rights and established procedure. Taking exception to the appointment of Justice Ashwani Kumar Mishra as Chief Justice of the Punjab and Haryana High Court without awaiting the views of the state government, the Cabinet resolved that the appointment and administration of oath should be put on hold until Punjabs views are obtained and duly considered. The Chief Ministers Office stated, The rights of Punjab have been violated by the Union government for a long time. In recent times, the interference from the Centre has increased to an unprecedented extent wherein the rights of Punjab as enshrined under the Constitution of India and several rules and regulations have been denied on multiple occasions. It stated, The Union unanimously altered the rules of the Bhakra Beas Management Board (BBMB) by removing the traditional convention that guaranteed the Member (Power) was selected from Punjab, thereby diluting the states representation over its own river waters and dams. Further, the Union has proposed centralisation of Panjab University, which was strongly opposed by Punjab, but the Union has continued its interference to overpower the stronghold and authority of the people of Punjab by misusing its authority. The Punjab Cabinet pointed out, The BJP-led Central government has also denied over Rs 9,000 crore of RDF dues to the government of Punjab, thereby inflicting great pain and suffering on the farmers who are the beneficiaries of the infrastructure sought to be created through RDF funds. Similarly, the Union through the Prime Minister announced a relief package of Rs 1,600 crore after the devastating floods in 2025; however, not a single rupee of this package has been disbursed to Punjab till date. Pointing to the most recent notification of September 5, the Punjab Cabinet noted, The Ministry of Law and Justice, Government of India, the President of India passed an order appointing Justice Ashwani Kumar Mishra as the Chief Justice of the Punjab and Haryana High Court. This appointment has been made without obtaining the consent of the state government, thereby bypassing all Constitutional norms and set procedures. The Cabinet stated, The Memorandum of Procedure for appointment and transfer of Chief Justices and Judges of High Court, in its Para 6, clearly indicates that after receipt of the recommendation of the Chief Justice of India, the Union Minister of Law, Justice and Company Affairs would obtain the views of the state government. After receipt of the views of the state government, the Union Minister of Law, Justice and Company Affairs will submit proposals to the Prime Minister, who will then advise the President as to the selection. The Chief Minister's Office noted, As posted on July 25 by the Press Information Bureau, Government of India, in a reply to a Question appearing in Lok Sabha, the Union Minister for Law, Justice and Company Affairs informed the House that appointment of Judges in the higher judiciary is a continuous, integrated and collaborative process between the Executive and Judiciary. It requires consultation and approval from various constitutional authorities, both at the State and Central level. In the instant case, the Collegium of the Supreme Court of India, vide minutes dated August 6 have recommended the appointment of Justice Ashwani Kumar Mishra, Acting Chief Justice of the Punjab and Haryana High Court, as the Chief Justice of the Punjab and Haryana High Court. On August 12, Punjab received the letter from Arjun Ram Meghwal, Minister of State for Law and Justice, for the consent of Punjab in terms of Para 6 of the Memorandum showing the procedure for appointment and transfer of Chief Justices and Judges of the High Court, it added. The Cabinet pointed out, However, in complete disregard to the Memorandum of Procedures and established Constitutional norms, the Union has hurriedly notified the appointment of the Chief Justice of Punjab and Haryana High Court without awaiting response of the state government. It added, It is pertinent to note that no clear time limit is prescribed for the state and the Governor to send its recommendation in the case of appointment of the Chief Justice. Whereas, in the year 2024, when a judge of Punjab and Haryana High Court, Justice Gurmeet Singh Sandhawalia, was recommended by the Collegium of the Supreme Court of India for his appointment as Chief Justice of Madhya Pradesh High Court, the same proposal was not notified by the Ministry of Law and Justice for more than two months and understandably on not receiving the recommendation from the Madhya Pradesh government. Later on, the Collegium and the Ministry of Law and Justice changed his appointment to the Himachal Pradesh High Court. As such, the feeling of perceived discrimination gets solidified in the sense that when a case of a Judge of Punjab is to be considered, it is dealt differently as that in a case of another Judge from another High Court getting appointed in Punjab, it stated. The Cabinet affirmed, Such actions on the part of Central Government, especially on the issue of crucial appointments in judiciary, has compelled the state Cabinet to deliberate and express its concerns over the persistent issues affecting the states constitutional rights and equitable treatment within the Indian federal framework. In order to ensure transparency, procedural propriety and the maintenance of judicial uprightness, it is therefore imperative that the aforesaid appointment and administration of oath be put on hold until the views of Punjab, as contemplated under Paragraph 6 of the memorandum, are obtained and duly considered by the competent authority. Thereafter, the matter may be proceeded with in accordance with the procedure prescribed under the said memorandum.

Building collapses in south Delhi's Satya Niketan; 1 dead, 2 critical, several trapped
New Delhi, Sep 6: A five-storey building housing a boys' PG collapsed in south Delhi's Satya Niketan area on Sunday afternoon, leaving one dead and several people trapped, officials said. The area is close to the heart of Delhi University's South Campus and has congested lanes lined with student hostels and eateries. Locals claimed the building was nearly 20 years old and construction work in the basement was on when the incident occurred at around 1.30 pm. Of the four patients the hospital received, two remain critical, and one was brought dead. One rescuer who was brought in has been discharged, AIIMS sources said. Local police staff, fire brigade, CAT Ambulance and other emergency services are present at the spot. The NDRF team has also reached, and rescue and relief operations are underway, a police officer said. A PCR call was received at South Campus police station at 1.34 pm regarding the collapse of a building near Nanakpura Gurdwara, the police said in a statement. The exact number of persons trapped/injured is not known at present. Some people have been rescued so far. Further details will be shared as and when confirmed, read the statement. Police said they have identified the building's owner and have formed teams to trace him. According to officials, the collapsed building was known as 'Hostel Daze.' Witnesses at the scene estimate that more than 20 people may be trapped under the rubble, but this figure has not been officially confirmed. The hostel was always full. So many people could still be trapped under the debris. The lanes are very congested, so it was difficult for rescue vehicles to arrive at the scene faster, a local said. Locals and eyewitnesses said they immediately joined the rescue efforts, using their hands and available tools to remove debris in their search for those trapped underneath. An eyewitness commented that the incident could have been much worse had it occurred on a working day since many students from nearby areas had returned home. Very few were here, he said. Rajen Chhetri, a local who works with the Delhi Police, said the building housed around 15 rooms, with two to three students sharing each room. Most of the students staying here are from Keralam, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh and study mainly at Motilal Nehru College, Atma Ram Sanatan Dharm College and Sri Venkateswara College. They were paying around Rs 12,000 per bed, Chhetri said. I have been living here for the last 20 years. Some construction work was going on in the basement, where water had started accumulating. The foundation was also extremely weak, he said, adding that around 13 people had been rescued. Delhi has witnessed incessant rains since Friday. Priyanka, a local living in the area for the past 20-22 years, said, Buildings here are being constructed up to five-six floors. Many houses have been converted into boys' PGs, with the owners shifting elsewhere. They simply name the properties as PGs, take the rent online and leave the area without even checking back. The PG that collapsed is over 20 years old, and in all these years, I have not seen any maintenance work being carried out. The whole of Satya Niketan is full of PGs. Hardly 30 per cent of the house owners actually live here, she said. Even the gutters and sewers here are open. There were many students trapped inside the building. Since it was raining, most of them were in their rooms, while some had gone home as it was the weekend, Priyanka said. Police are advising locals and onlookers to stay away from the site, as bystanders are complicating rescue efforts. Both police and paramilitary personnel have been deployed to ensure ambulances move freely. BJP MLA Anil Sharma reached the spot and informed that people are still trapped. We are even getting calls from those who are trapped inside. Teams are continuously in touch with those who are trapped, he said.

South Asian and MENA cinema take centre stage at BFI London Film Festival 2026
Highlights The 70th BFI London Film Festival will showcase films from across south Asia and the Middle East and North Africa A new 4K restoration of Kamal Amrohis Pakeezah will screen at BFI IMAX New films explore beauty standards, political resistance, displacement, queer identity, war, censorship and family The 70th BFI London Film Festival is turning the spotlight towards filmmakers from south Asia and the Middle East and North Africa, bringing a striking mix of political cinema, intimate dramas, genre films and restored classics to UK audiences this October. Running from 7 to 18 October, the festival will feature films from Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Nepal, Afghanistan, Iran, Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon, Tunisia, Yemen, Morocco and Egypt. Across the selection, filmmakers use everything from body horror and dark comedy to documentary and archive footage to explore the pressures shaping lives across the region. At the centre of the south Asian selection is a landmark restoration of one of Indian cinemas most celebrated films. Pakeezah returns to the big screen Kamal Amrohis 1972 classic Pakeezah , starring Meena Kumari, will screen at BFI IMAX on 18 October following a new 4K restoration by the Film Heritage Foundation. The musical tragedy, centred on a courtesan and her relationship with a man from a different social world, remains one of Hindi cinemas defining works. Its inclusion alongside contemporary films also creates a link between south Asias cinematic heritage and the new generation of filmmakers now finding audiences internationally. The festivals south Asian programme features several distinctive contemporary voices. Bangladeshi filmmaker Rubaiyat Hossains The Difficult Bride turns the rituals surrounding marriage into feminist body horror, following bride-to-be Zaineen as beauty expectations, social restrictions and supernatural warnings begin to close in. Shalini Adnanis Our Share of Sand follows Maya, a young woman returning to rural India and gradually confronting the child labour, environmental destruction and corruption connected to her familys wealth. Meanwhile, The Calf Doll sees Indian filmmaker Ankur Hooda use his grandparents as improvised versions of themselves in a para-fiction about village rituals, migration and industrialisation in Haryana. Pakistan is represented by Sarmad Sultan Khoosats Lali , a dark comedy about two emotionally wounded strangers brought together through an arranged marriage. The film reunites Khoosat with Joyland filmmaker Saim Sadiq, who serves as editor and casting director. Nepali filmmaker Abinash Bikram Shahs Elephants in the Fog follows a matriarch from the kinnar community searching for her missing daughter. The film also made history at Cannes as the first Nepali film selected for the Official Selection. CHRONICLES FROM THE SIEGE BFI London Cinema as resistance across MENA The MENA selection similarly moves between personal stories and political history. Shab-Nameh: Women of Irans Forgotten Left + Ghazal-e Sorkh combines film and live performance as artist Maryam Tafakory explores the erased histories of women involved in political resistance in Iran. Mohsen Amiryousefis The Banning Curse takes a more playful approach to censorship, using autofiction, archive footage and the figure of the Angel of Death to revisit the Iranian directors career and the political and cultural forces that repeatedly obstructed it. In Chronicles from the Siege , Palestinian filmmaker Abdallah Al-Khatib connects five stories of Palestinians living under military occupation, where ordinary aspects of daily life become questions of survival. Mohanad Yaqubis Revolutionaries Never Die looks backwards through the 16mm archive of Lebanese filmmaker Jocelyne Saab, using footage filmed across Palestine, Lebanon and Iran between 1973 and 1983 as a way of engaging with memory and political history. Other films turn towards displacement, identity and family. Concrete Land , by Asmahan Bkerat, follows a Black Palestinian Bedouin family navigating poverty and repeated displacement in Jordan, while Tunisian filmmaker Leyla Bouzids In a Whisper centres on a young queer woman returning to her family's home after her uncles death. Stories of war, family and survival The programme also brings more intimate stories of people navigating conflict and social upheaval. The Station , directed by Sara Ishaq, transforms a women-only petrol station in Yemen into a space of humour and sisterhood as its owner tries to protect her younger brother from being recruited into the war. Iranian filmmaker Ali Asgaris A Bit of Light follows a doctor whose practice is shut after he treats anti-government protesters, forcing him to confront the responsibilities he has towards his family and community. The Friends House Is Here , made secretly in Iran by Hossein Keshavarz and Maryam Ataei, follows a dancer and playwright creating political art within Tehrans underground scene. There is also room for genre cinema and international stars. Bassam Tariqs Your Mother, Your Mother, Your Mother stars Mahershala Ali as a devout Muslim hitman who becomes a single father after his wifes sudden death, while Anthony Wonkes In the Shadows draws inspiration from the true story of Somali boxer Ramla Ali, with Jasmine Jobson playing a refugee who pursues boxing in secret before representing Somalia at the Olympic Games. Your Mother, Your Mother, Your Mother BFI London A wider global programme The MENA and south Asian selections form part of a much broader 70th-anniversary programme. The 2026 festival will present 251 features, shorts, series and immersive works from 88 countries, including 33 world premieres. Women filmmakers account for 109 works, or 43 per cent of the overall programme. The festival will take place across London, partner cinemas around the UK and BFI Player, giving audiences beyond the capital access to the programme. BFI Members' priority booking opens at 10am on 10 September, followed by general sale at 10am on 17 September. Additional tickets will be released from 10am on 1 October. For south Asian and MENA cinema in particular, this year's festival offers something more substantial than a regional showcase. From Pakeezah 's restored grandeur to films confronting censorship, displacement and identity, the programme places both cinematic heritage and urgent new voices firmly within the conversation around contemporary world cinema.
