Plea in Gujarat High Court seeks accountability for young boxer’s death

Plea in Gujarat High Court seeks accountability for young boxer’s death The mother of a 19-year-old boxer who died during a State-level competition has moved a plea before the Gujarat High Court seeking accountability for the death of her son [Ritaben Bharatkumar Pipaliya v Union of India and Ors.]. Justice Hemant M Prachchhak on May 6 sought replies from the government of India, the Sports Authority of India, the Boxing Federation of India, the State and other authorities. The matter concerns death of Karan Pipaliya, a 19-year-old boxer who sustained severe head injuries during a bout at the State Level Boxing Championship held on September 21, 2024, at the Sardar Patel Sports Complex in Mehsana. He died of his injuries on September 24, 2024, allegedly due to gross negligence and lack of medical facilities at the event. The petition has highlighted that there were glaring violations of mandatory safety protocols during the boxing match. The plea stated that there had been no pre-bout medical examination of participants and a complete absence of emergency medical infrastructure, including ambulance services, oxygen support, and essential life-saving equipment. It further claimed that even after Pipaliya collapsed, no immediate medical assistance was provided and he had to be taken to a hospital in a private vehicle, resulting in a fatal delay in treatment. The plea asserted that medical evidence, including CT scan findings, establishes that the death was caused by intracranial hemorrhage due to repeated blunt force trauma sustained during the bout. “There exists a clear and direct nexus between the gross negligence of the organizers and the death of the deceased,” contended the petition.

State can't deny aid to child homes while funding Ladki Bahin Yojana: Bombay High Court

State can't deny aid to child homes while funding Ladki Bahin Yojana: Bombay High Court The Bombay High Court on Thursday observed that Maharashtra government cannot deny financial aid to institutions caring for vulnerable children while at the same time extending assistance to women under welfare schemes like the Ladki Bahin Yojana [Yuvraj Bhole & Ors v. State of Maharashtra & Ors] Such disparity would be Constitutional untenable, the Aurangabad bench of the High Court opined. "When the State of Maharashtra is extending financial assistance to poor women in the State under several welfare schemes such as Ladki Bahin Yojana, it cannot, without any reasonable classification or justification, deny or delay financial aid to institutions catering to children in need of care and protection," a division bench of Justices Kishore C Sant and Sushil M Ghodeswar said. The observations were made during the hearing of multiple petitions filed by employees of unaided children's homes (Balgruhas) run by NGOs, seeking salary grants at par with government employees. The petitioners included superintendents, counselors, clerks, cooks and caretakers. The argument was that they performed the same duties as staff in government-aided homes but received no salary support from the State. The bench noted that such allocation of resources must satisfy the test of reasonableness under Article 14. “The State is under higher constitutional obligation to prioritise the welfare, education, and rehabilitation of children, failing which the very object of the Juvenile Justice law would stand defeated and the larger societal interest would be seriously jeopardised,” the Court said. Therefore, it directed the Maharashtra government to frame an appropriate policy for providing salary grants to deserving NGOs which are functioning strictly in compliance with the provisions of the Juvenile…
