Nashik Court Rejects Anticipatory Bail To Danish Shaikh In TCS Conversion Case, Cites 'Wide Social Repercussions'

Nashik Court Rejects Anticipatory Bail To Danish Shaikh In TCS Conversion Case, Cites 'Wide Social Repercussions' Nashik Court Rejects Anticipatory Bail To Danish Shaikh In TCS Conversion Case, Cites 'Wide Social Repercussions' Nashik court rejected anticipatory bail in religious sentiments and workplace harassment case amid ongoing SIT investigation A court in Nashik has rejected an application seeking anticipatory bail filed by accused Danish Ejaz Shaikh in connection with a case registered at Mumbai Naka Police Station under provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, observing that the allegations disclose serious offences with wider social implications and that the investigation is still at a nascent stage. The applicant had sought protection from arrest in Crime No. 166 of 2026, invoking offences under Sections 299, 302, 75, 79 and 3(5) of the BNS. The applicant is already lodged in Central Jail, Nashik in connection with another case. As per the prosecution version, the complainant, an employee of a private company in Nashik, alleged that the applicant and a co-accused, both colleagues at TCS, had since 2022 made repeated remarks targeting his religious beliefs. It was alleged that they used offensive language against Hindu religious sentiments while praising another religion, and questioned the validity of his faith, thereby causing deep hurt to his religious feelings. The FIR further alleged that the accused pressured the complainant to read the Quran and consume non-vegetarian food against his wishes. It was also alleged that they subjected him to harassment at the workplace, including sending adverse reports to senior officials, humiliating him in front of colleagues, and issuing threats of dire consequences. Allegations of sexually coloured remarks against women employees were also part of…

Supreme Court Tells Centre To Explain Delay In Balwant Singh Rajoana Mercy Plea Decision

Supreme Court Tells Centre To Explain Delay In Balwant Singh Rajoana Mercy Plea Decision Supreme Court Tells Centre To Explain Delay In Balwant Singh Rajoana Mercy Plea Decision Supreme Court directs Centre to explain delay in deciding Balwant Singh Rajoana’s mercy petition The Supreme Court on Wednesday directed the Centre to file its affidavit within two weeks in response to a plea by Balwant Singh Rajoana, who has sought commutation of his death sentence to life imprisonment due to inordinate delay in deciding his mercy petition. Rajoana, convicted in the 1995 assassination of then Punjab Chief Minister Beant Singh, has been in custody for over 29 years and on death row for more than 15 years. The bench of Justices Vikram Nath, Sandeep Mehta, and Vijay Bishnoi questioned the delay in filing the Centre’s response. “Why have you not filed your counter affidavit so far?” the Bench asked counsel appearing for the Union government. The Centre’s counsel submitted that certain documents were intended to be placed before the Court in a sealed cover. However, the Court declined to entertain further delay, observing that failure to file a response would leave the petitioner’s allegations uncontroverted. “You file your counter affidavit, otherwise his allegations are uncontroverted,” the Bench said, adding, “You place your affidavit whatever you want to say.” Senior Advocate Mukul Rohatgi, appearing for Rajoana, submitted that the mercy petition filed by the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) in 2012 remains pending despite repeated directions from the Court. He further referred to earlier orders of the Supreme Court, including a 2023 direction asking authorities to take a decision on the mercy plea, and a September 24 order last year which stated that no further adjournments would be entertained. The Bench granted the Centre two weeks to file its…

Doctor can’t be prosecuted for choosing medically valid procedure without proof of consent tampering: Supreme Court quashes case

Doctor can’t be prosecuted for choosing medically valid procedure without proof of consent tampering: Supreme Court quashes case The Supreme Court of India has held that criminal proceedings against a medical professional cannot be sustained where the procedure adopted is supported by medical opinion and there is no material on record to indicate fabrication or manipulation of the consent form. A Bench of Justice Manoj Misra and Justice Pamidighantam Sri Narasimha set aside the order of the Madras High Court and observed that, in the absence of any evidence suggesting interpolation in the consent form, continuation of criminal proceedings would amount to an abuse of the process of law. Background of the CaseThe case arose from a complaint filed by the father of a minor child who had undergone surgery for an undescended testicle at a hospital in Chennai. According to the complainant, consent had been given only for “Orchidopexy,” a procedure aimed at repositioning the testicle, and not for “Orchidectomy,” which involves removal of the testicle. It was alleged that prior to the surgery, the operating surgeon had assured that in most cases removal of the testicle would not be necessary. However, during the procedure, the testicle was removed. The complainant further alleged that the consent form had been manipulated by inserting the term “Orchidectomy” later, thereby amounting to forgery. Based on these allegations, an FIR was registered at P.S.

Malegaon blast case: Bombay HC allows accused to appeal against NIA court order

Malegaon blast case: Bombay HC allows accused to appeal against NIA court order MUMBAI: Bombay high court on Wednesday allowed appeals filed by four accused in the 2006 Malegaon blasts case to challenge the charge framed against them under the stringent anti-terror law UAPA (Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act) and other offences under the Indian Penal Code, including murder, attempt to murder, attempting to cause communal breach of peace. They had sought quashing of the charges framed, and on Wednesday, Chief Justice Shree Chandrashekhar and Justice SC Chandak, pronouncing the judgment, said, "Appeals are allowed." On Sept 8, 2006, at about 13:50 hrs, four bombs exploded in Malegaon. Three of them went off in the compound of Hamidiya Masjid and Bada Kabrastan, while the fourth exploded at Mushawart Chowk in Malegaon. Nineteen years after four blasts took 31 lives in Malegaon, a special trial court in Mumbai last year on Sept 30 framed 19 charges against four accused, including under the Explosives Act. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) filed a chargesheet in the case. Accused Manohar Narwaria, Rajendra Chaudhary, Dhan Singh and Lokesh Sharma, on charges being read out, pleaded not guilty. But they approached the HC in appeal this year to challenge the charge framed. Their lawyer Kaushik Mhatre argued that there was no evidence and no case made out against them, and Chaudhary and Dhan Singh said the identification parade was done after six and a half years.
