'No complaint, no insult': MP denies nod to prosecute BJP neta for Col Qureshi remarks BHOPAL: MP govt has finalised a five-point reply explaining its decision not to grant sanction to prosecute senior cabinet minister Kunwar Vijay Shahover his controversial remarks on Army officer Colonel Sofiya Qureshi, who gained prominence during the media briefings on Operation Sindoor. The reply is likely to be submitted before the Supreme Court in the next few days after being vetted by legal experts, the chief secretary and the chief minister’s office. The state cabinet headed by chief minister Mohan Yadav had on Aug 25 decided against granting sanction to prosecute Shah. The recommendation was subsequently sent to governor Mangubhai Patel, who approved it late Monday. The govt’s response, prepared after the governor endorsed the cabinet decision, states that no person came forward to lodge a complaint against Shah following his controversial remarks. It also argues that the minister did not name Col Sofiya Qureshi in his statement, subsequently apologised several times, and did not intend to insult anyone. No sanction as no one filed any complaint yet: MP on Vijay Shah case Shah’s remarks neither disturbed communal harmony nor were made with any such intention, the govt further reasons. On Monday, additional solicitor general K M Nataraj, appearing for the state govt, had informed an SC bench headed by CJI Surya Kant that the SIT had completed its probe in the matter and a chargesheet would be filed once the sanction for prosecution, pending before the competent authority, was received.

Federal judge blocks Donald Trump's latest bid to restrict birthright citizenship even as US proposes new passport rules

Federal judge blocks Donald Trump's latest bid to restrict birthright citizenship even as US proposes new passport rules A federal judge in the US on Wednesday (local time) has blocked President Donald Trump's latest attempt to limit birthright citizenship, granting a preliminary injunction against an executive order which was issued after the Supreme Court struck down his previous attempts last year. US District Judge Deborah L Boardman in Maryland issued the injunction until a class-action lawsuit brought by immigrant families and advocacy groups is resolved. “The Supreme Court has spoken: Children in the certified class are ‘citizens at birth,’” Boardman wrote in Wednesday's ruling, according to The Associated Press. Trump's Executive Order on ‘birth tourism’ In August, Trump signed an executive order expanding the categories of noncitizen parents whose children would be ineligible for citizenship is likely unlawful as applied to a nationwide class of families whose legal status was already at issue in earlier court fights. The new exclusions were aimed at what the Trump administration described as ‘birth tourism’ and included anyone who took part in a “commercial transaction to ensure” they give birth in the US. It defined birth tourism as someone entering the United States on a “nonimmigrant visa for the purpose of giving birth on American soil.” What the lawsuit said The lawsuit was filed by affected families and organizations representing them, arguing that uncertainty surrounding the order left them with confusion and fear. They were joined in the lawsuit by We Are CASA, the Asylum Seeker Advocacy Project and the Institute for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection. According to The Associated Press, the petitioners told the court that the executive branch has taken a broad view of who qualifies as an alien enemy, sometimes relying on speculation or misinformation to make that…

5. CBI names 6 IAS officers in ₹504-crore IDFC Bank fraud case

CBI names 6 IAS officers in ₹504-crore IDFC Bank fraud case

CBI names 6 IAS officers in ₹504-crore IDFC Bank fraud case CBI names 6 IAS officers in ₹504-crore IDFC Bank fraud case They have been charged with criminal conspiracy, cheating, destruction of evidence, forgery, falsification of accounts, criminal breach of trust and abetment. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Wednesday named six IAS officers in its third charge sheet filed in connection with the ₹504-crore IDFC Bank fraud involving multiple Haryana government departments and organisations, officials said. In the charge sheet submitted before the special CBI court, the federal agency has named Pardeep Kumar, then member secretary, Haryana state pollution control board (HSPCB); Ram Kumar Singh, then Panchkula commissioner; and Pankaj Agarwal, then chairman, Haryana State Agricultural Marketing Board (HSAMB), who were arrested earlier in connection with the case. It has also named Mohammad Shayin, then managing director of Haryana Power Generation Corporation Ltd (HPGCL), Saket Kumar, then commissioner and secretary, development and panchayats department, and Vineet Garg, then chairman of the HSPCB. CBI filed the charge sheet without obtaining prosecution sanction for the IAS officers, which effectively means the trial court cannot take cognisance of it or the police investigation report. The charge sheet also names three IDFC First Bank officials —Shamim Ahmad Dar, Sudha Goyal and Kuldeep Singh — one AU Small Finance Bank official Charanjeet Singh Randhawa, and nine Haryana government officials — Deepti Kaushik, Rajesh Goyal, Prince Sharma, Saurav Kumar, Parveen Kumar, Surender Jain, Surinder Kaur, Amit Kumar, and Jugal Kishore. They have been charged with criminal conspiracy, cheating, destruction of evidence, forgery, falsification of accounts, criminal breach of trust and abetment, among others, under BNS, besides…
