Wrong Precedent: Lawyers Body Protests Supreme Courts Handling Of Noida DMs Plea
THE LAWYERS ASSOCIATION FOR CONSTITUTION (LAFC) has written to the Chief Justice of India questioning the special listing and muted live proceedings in the case of Noida District Magistrate Medha Roopam. LAFC has sent an open letter to the Chief Justice of India protesting the listing of two petitions filed over strictures passed against Gautam Buddh Nagar District Magistrate Medha Roopam. The letter, dated September 24, objects to the matter being placed before a particular bench outside the ordinary roster, and to the muting of the video conferencing feed during the hearing. The out-of-turn listing of the case has received special treatment and tends to set a wrong precedent, the LAFC wrote. The letter noted that Roopam also happens to be the daughter of the Chief Election Commissioner of India, namely Gyanesh Kumar. Allahabad High Court Quashing NSA Against Akriti and Indicting Civil Servants Captures Sardar Patel and Ambedkars Vision The underlying case The dispute traces back to protests by workers in Noida demanding wage revisions. A student, Akriti Chaudhary, was detained under the National Security Act in connection with the unrest. The Allahabad High Court quashed her detention and directed Roopam to pay Rs 5 lakh compensation from her own salary. Paragraphs 27 to 33 of that judgment recorded strictures against the DM, holding that she desired to set an example out of Chaudhary to deter others from exercising their right to freedom of speech and expression in public spaces in support of labourers. Roopam and the Uttar Pradesh government moved the Supreme Court against the order. The petitions, SLP (Crl.) Diary No. 56202/2026 and SLP (Crl.) No. 18010/2026, came up before a bench of Justice Satish Chandra Sharma and Justice N K Singh. Senior Advocate Mukul Rohatgi appeared for the state, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta for Roopam, and Senior Advocate Colin Gonsalves for Chaudhary. Muted proceedings, then a clarified order During the September 23 hearing, the bench muted the audio of the video conferencing feed, cutting off media access since reporters cannot enter the courtroom in person. The Court reserved orders on interim relief that day. Later on September 23, the Court stayed paragraphs 27 to 33 of the High Court judgment, the portion recording strictures and directing salary recovery. Notice was issued, and the matter was listed for October 7. The Court clarified that the stay did not extend to the quashing of Chaudharys NSA detention itself, which stands. On September 24, the Court revised its order to make this distinction explicit, specifying that the stay operates only on the adverse remarks against the officer and the compensation direction. The LAFCs objection While the LAFCs in its letter has not disputed the merits of the stay, it has raised complaints such as that the case did not fall before this bench under the prevailing roster for NSA matters, that it appears to have been specially assigned, and that muting the live feed in a case important for media and the public undermines the openness that video conferencing is meant to provide. The special listing before a particular bench has also not enhanced confidence in the judicial process, the letter states.

'Was travelling with my husband... dont know where he is now': Victim of Greater Noida bus fire
Digital Desk | Greater Noida, Sep 24 (IANS) A woman who suffered burn injuries in the Greater Noida double-decker bus fire was admitted to Aarogyadhara Hospital in Jewar for treatment on Thursday. Speaking to IANS, she shared her ordeal in the aftermath of the accident. Nine people died, and several others were seriously injured after a massive fire broke out in the double-decker bus in Greater Noida, near the 33 Km milestone on the Yamuna Expressway. The double-decker bus was going from Delhis Kashmiri Gate to Uttar Pradeshs Mahoba. I was going from Hisar, Chandannagar to Mahoba with my husband because my mother-in-law had passed away, she said. When asked about her husband, the woman started crying and said that she doesnt know where he was now after the mishap. His name is Devendra, she said. Narrating her experience, she said, I dont know what happened; suddenly the bus caught fire, and people started panicking and shouting 'fire, fire'. Additional District Magistrate Ajeet Kumar Singh of Gautam Buddha Nagar said, The fire was caused due to a short circuit. As you might know, the tragic accident occurred around 11.15 p.m. on Wednesday. Preliminary investigation reveals that a short circuit caused a fire on the bus. It was an AC sleeper bus travelling from Delhi to Mahoba. Nine people died and one of the victims, a woman, is being treated at the Aarogyadhara Hospital, he informed. He said, Some of the passengers who had minor injuries have been sent back to Mahoba to be treated for minor injuries. Some returned in personal vehicles while others were given special transport. President Droupadi Murmu and Prime Minister Narendra Modi mourned the tragedy. The Centre and the Uttar Pradesh governments both announced compensation of Rs. 2 lakh each for the next of kin of all the deceased and Rs. 50,000 to the injured. More than 30 passengers were reportedly travelling on the bus when it suddenly caught fire. Nine passengers, including a woman, were trapped inside and burnt alive in the massive blaze. Upon receiving the information, senior police officials, along with the local police force and a fire tender stationed at the Jewar Toll Plaza, responded, according to the officials. Four additional fire tenders and a fire service unit immediately rushed to the scene and completely extinguished the fire. Preliminary investigations suggest the fire originated from a spark or blast in the bus's air conditioning system, which ignited the engine's lubricating oil and caused the fire to spread rapidly. The driver and conductor were taken into custody, and a case was registered under relevant sections.

According to officials, the bus, travelling from Kashmiri Gate, New Delhi, towards Uttar Pradesh's Mahoba, caught fire suddenly near the 33 km milestone on the Yamuna Expressway, within the jurisdiction of the Jewar Police Station, triggering panic among passengers, many of whom jumped out of the windows to save themselves.

Wanted snatcher arrested with pistol, stolen bike after police encounter in Ghaziabad
Digital Desk | Ghaziabad, Sep 24 (IANS) A wanted snatcher, Aamir Ali alias Aman, was arrested following an encounter with the police in the Indirapuram area of Uttar Pradesh's Ghaziabad, officials said on Thursday. According to the police, a team from the Indirapuram Police Station was checking suspicious vehicles and individuals at the Sector 1 Vasundhara T-point when a man riding a motorcycle approached the area from the Hindon side. On noticing the police, the suspect turned his motorcycle around and attempted to flee. The police team chased him, following which the accused, after realising that he had been surrounded, allegedly opened fire at the policemen. The police retaliated, during which the accused sustained a bullet injury to his leg. He was subsequently apprehended and taken to a hospital for treatment. ACP Suryabali Maurya said the arrested accused was identified as 24-year-old Aamir Ali alias Aman, a resident of Chilla village in Mayur Vihar Phase 1, Delhi. He was wanted in connection with a case registered at the Indirapuram Police Station. The police recovered a stolen motorcycle, a .315-bore pistol, one empty cartridge, one live cartridge and a piece of yellow metal from his possession. According to the police, the recovered piece of yellow metal is suspected to be linked to an incident reported in the Kavinagar police station area. During interrogation, the accused confessed to his involvement in several incidents of chain snatching, mobile phone snatching and motorcycle theft in Delhi-NCR and Ghaziabad. Police said he carried out the crimes along with his associate, Suhail. Nearly a dozen cases, including those related to robbery, snatching, theft, the Arms Act and the Gangster Act, have been registered against Aamir in Delhi-NCR, police said. The police are currently investigating Suhail's role and probing other cases allegedly linked to the accused.
SP chief Akhilesh Yadav to launch PDA Yatra from Raebareli today amid rift with Congress
Digital Desk | Lucknow, Sep 24 (IANS) Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav is set to kick off the PDA Yatra on Thursday from Uttar Pradeshs Raebareli as part of the partys campaign for the 2027 Assembly elections in the state. Akhilesh Yadav will travel in a saffron Rath, specially curated from a bus, as he begins the yatra from Raebareli, a constituency that has traditionally been known as a Congress bastion. His decision to launch the programme from the seat has generated considerable interest in political circles, as Raebareli is the parliamentary constituency represented by Congress leader and Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi. The Samajwadi Party and Congress are allies in the opposition INDIA bloc. The latest development comes against the backdrop of the alliance and preparations for the 2027 Assembly elections. The SP chief had earlier appointed senior party functionaries Indrajeet Saroj and Anand Bhadauria as in-charges of the Amethi and Raebareli parliamentary constituencies -- both have long been Congress strongholds. The appointments were made at a time when the INDIA bloc was firmly in place, and the Samajwadi Party and Congress had agreed to contest elections together as constituents of the opposition alliance. However, the political equation between the two parties in Uttar Pradesh has since seen signs of strain, as differences emerged over political messaging, leadership and the relative standing of the two parties within the opposition space. There is currently contention between Samajwadi Party MP Iqra Hasan and Congress MP Imran Masood, with their remarks reflecting the broader differences that have emerged between the allies. Hasan reportedly said that only SP Chief Akhilesh Yadav is capable of defeating the BJP in Uttar Pradesh and suggested that the Congress could achieve little on its own. Masood is said to have responded by insisting that Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is the only Opposition leader with a national reach capable of unsettling the BJP. The signal thus emerging from Uttar Pradesh is that despite repeated assurances from the top leadership of both parties that the alliance remains intact, there is still no consensus on hierarchy, ownership and political primacy within.

Jammu Police arrest fugitive after seven-month manhunt
Jammu, Sep 23: Jammu Police have arrested Karanjeet alias Gugga, a wanted criminal who had escaped from the Juvenile Home at R.S. Pura in February this year, after a nearly seven-month-long manhunt, SSP Jammu said on Wednesday. Addressing a press conference, the SSP said Karanjeet was among three inmates who escaped from the juvenile home following an incident in February. The other two, both Pakistani nationals, were later arrested in Ambala with the assistance of Punjab and Haryana Police. Following the escape, the investigation was handed over to the DSP SOG and a Special Investigation Team headed by the SP Operations was constituted to trace those involved. Eight people were arrested in that case. The investigation continued and at the same time we were trying to arrest Karanjeet alias Gugga, the SSP said. He said Karanjeet was involved in around 12 to 13 FIRs and police tracked his movements by developing information about his associates and gang links. Police teams followed leads in several locations, including Gorakhpur, Kolkata, Delhi and Maharashtra, but he managed to evade arrest. The SSP said police recently received information that Karanjeet was staying with some associates in Chandigarh. A team raided the suspected location but did not find him there. During the follow-up investigation, police learnt that he was staying at a hotel in Delhi. An SOG team subsequently travelled to Delhi and arrested him, the SSP said. He said the arrest was significant for the ongoing investigation into the juvenile home incident, as police had identified additional persons linked to the case. The SSP said Karanjeets interrogation would help establish missing links in the investigation, including how weapons and mobile phones reached the juvenile home. Police had earlier arrested the person who allegedly supplied the weapons, while further investigation is underway to establish the complete chain, he said. The SSP said Karanjeet had been moving between different locations to evade arrest, with police following leads across Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal, Maharashtra and Delhi. On security arrangements at the juvenile home, the SSP said the police had taken up the matter with the concerned department and another location had also been identified for housing inmates. He said further details would emerge as the interrogation of Karanjeet progresses.
