Police can’t just arrest people & forget them in jail: Delhi HC grants bail in NDPS case

Police can’t just arrest people & forget them in jail: Delhi HC grants bail in NDPS case The Delhi High Court has granted regular bail to an accused booked under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985 while sharply criticizing the Delhi Police for its casual handling of criminal prosecutions and personal liberty. The Court observed that the role of the police is not merely to arrest individuals and “ dump them in jail” without diligently pursuing the prosecution thereafter. Justice Girish Kathpalia passed the order in Rifat Ali @ Danish v. State NCT of Delhi, while hearing a bail application filed by the accused in FIR No. 667/2023 registered at Police Station Bhalswa Dairy under Sections 21, 25 and 29 of the NDPS Act. Allegation of Recovery of 300 Grams HeroinAccording to the prosecution, 300 grams of heroin was recovered from the boot of the accused’s car on 18.07.2023 at Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh. The accused had remained in judicial custody since the date of his arrest. The bail plea was mainly based on the issue of “ delays in completion of trial” and “ prolonged of incarceration”. Counsel for the accused argued before the Court that despite the passage of considerable time, the trial was moving at an extremely slow pace.

A Special Investigation Team (SIT) has been formed to probe allegations of dowry harassment against the woman’s lawyer husband and his mother, a former judge. Twisha Sharma, who hailed from Noida, was found dead at her marital home in the Katara Hills area in Bhopal on Tuesday (May 12, 2026). According to police, she met Bhopal-based lawyer Samarth Singh through a dating app in 2024 and married him in December 2025. Her family has accused Samarth Singh and his mother Giribala Singh of murder. They protested outside CM Mohan Yadav’s official residence in Bhopal to press for their demands. Twisha’s family claimed that her body had remained in the mortuary of AIIMS Bhopal for the last five days and demanded a second post-mortem examination at AIIMS Delhi. Her father Navnidhi Sharma and her brother said officials from the CM’s Office assured them of fair action after they met them during the protest.

NEET-UG 2026 Live: CBI probe, arrests, re-exam updates and all latest developments

NEET-UG 2026 Live: CBI probe, arrests, re-exam updates and all latest developments NEET-UG 2026 Live: CBI probe, arrests, re-exam updates and all latest developments The cancellation of NEET-UG 2026 has turned into one of the biggest examination controversies in recent years. More than 22 lakh medical aspirants who appeared for the exam on May 3 are now preparing to sit for the examination again on June 21 after allegations of a paper leak triggered investigations, arrests and a CBI probe. The controversy began with reports emerging from Rajasthan, where investigators found a handwritten “guess paper” that allegedly matched a large number of questions asked in the actual NEET examination. Questions over examination integrity quickly spread online, followed by protests from students and parents demanding clarity from the National Testing Agency (NTA). As scrutiny increased, law enforcement agencies traced possible leak routes across multiple states including Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Haryana and Delhi. Investigators reportedly found overlaps of more than 120 questions between leaked material and the final examination paper, intensifying concerns over whether the exam process had been compromised. The NTA cancelled the NEET-UG 2026 examination on May 12, stating that findings shared by investigative agencies raised sufficient concern over the fairness of the examination. The agency said a re-exam would be conducted and candidates would not need to register again.

Indian court tells Apple to 'cooperate' in antitrust case - Litigation - 1 min read Indian court tells Apple to 'cooperate' in antitrust case APPLE-INDIA-Indian court tells Apple to 'cooperate' in antitrust case - Published On May 18, 2026 at 12:23 PM IST NEW DELHI, - An Indian court has told Apple to "fully cooperate" with investigators in an antitrust case related to the iPhone apps market, not agreeing with the U.S. company's request to put the case on hold while it challenges the law governing antitrust penalties. The Delhi High Court said in an order posted on its website on Saturday that Apple "shall fully cooperate", but it asked the Competition Commission of India (CCI) to not pass a final order in the matter until at least July 15. Apple wanted the case to be put on hold and had accused the CCI of exceeding its powers by pushing the company to submit its financials - typically needed for penalty calculation - while Apple has a pending challenge to the law governing penalties, Reuters has reported. Advt Apple has denied wrongdoing and resisted demands of the CCI, arguing that it has challenged India's entire antitrust penalty calculation law and the watchdog must wait. The Indian case is among many Apple faces around the globe for alleged antitrust breaches. India is a key market for Apple, where its iPhones have a 9% market share, compared with 4% two years ago, Counterpoint Research says. Apple did not respond to a request for comment.
