Vinayak Savarkar did not hate Muslims, wanted their progress: Savarkar kin to Pune court

Vinayak Savarkar did not hate Muslims, wanted their progress: Savarkar kin to Pune court Leader of Opposition (LoP) Rahul Gandhi falsely depicted Hindutva ideologue Vinayak Damodar Savarkar as an extreme hater of Muslims and a mob lyncher, Savarkar's grandnephew Satyaki Savarkar told a Pune court on Tuesday [Satyaki Savarkar v. Satyaki said that Vinayak Savarkar did not hate Muslims as claimed by Gandhi; rather he wanted their progress, Satyaki said. Satyaki was testifying as part of the trial in the criminal defamation case filed by him against Gandhi for the latter's speech in London in 2023 in which he allegedly referred to an incident described in Savarkar’s writings. Rahul Gandhi reportedly claimed that Vinayak Savarkar, along with others, had assaulted a Muslim man and found the act “pleasurable.” Satyaki’s criminal complaint in Pune court alleged that Gandhi’s speech was highly defamatory. Satyaki is currently being cross-examined in the matter by Gandhi's lawyer. In his cross examination, Gandhi’s counsel, advocate Milind D Pawar, asked Satyaki on Tuesday to recount the exact defamatory words used by Gandhi. Satyaki then recounted how Gandhi claimed Savarkar had written a book in which he and couple of his friends were described beating a Muslim man and found the same to be enjoyable. Satyaki vehemently rejected this characterisation. “By these words, Savarkar was portrayed as an extreme hater of Muslims and as a mob lyncher.

Karnataka HC grants relief to man booked for sexual harassment after urinating near railway track

Karnataka HC grants relief to man booked for sexual harassment after urinating near railway track The Karnataka High Court on Tuesday quashed criminal proceedings filed against a man accused of sexually harassing a woman after she came across him attending nature's call near a railway track. The complainant woman had accused the accused man of exposing his private parts to her and making certain inappropriate gestures at her. The Court, however, found that it appeared to be a case where the accused man had made some gestures out of shock when he found that the woman had seen him while he was urinating. Justice M Nagaprasanna opined that this cannot amount to the offence under Section 75 (2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (BNS), which deals with the offence of sexual harassment. The Court, therefore, allowed the accused man's plea to quash the criminal case against him. "The petitioner admittedly, even according to the complaint, was answering a nature's call... after searching for a public toilet all over and not finding it... The gesture that the complainant narrates is only a shock that the petitioner saw the complainant, as is narrated in the statement itself. That would not become in the considered view of this court an ingredient of outraging the modesty of a woman under Section 75(2).

Centre to require pharmas to distinguish biologics from synthetics

Centre to require pharmas to distinguish biologics from synthetics New Delhi: The Centre plans to require pharmaceutical companies to clearly distinguish biological medicines (biologics) from synthetic drugs when seeking licences and on packaging through changes to the Drugs Rules, 1945, according to two government officials close to the discussions and documents reviewed by. The proposed regulatory intervention aims to address ambiguity around drugs, such as semaglutide, that can be produced chemically as well as biologically. The anti-diabetic and anti-obesity drug can be produced through either chemical synthesis or biological methods such as recombinant DNA (r-DNA) technology. The biological process involves combining DNA from different organisms and inserting it into a host such as yeast or bacteria, which then produces the target therapeutic protein. But the existing framework lacks a statutory definition of biological products, allowing drugmakers to obtain licences under both categories for the same molecule. To plug the loophole, the Indian government plans to define biological products and mandate manufacturers to declare whether an active ingredient is chemically synthesized or biologically derived from human, animal, or microbial sources. “Form 28 governs licensing for synthetic products, while Form 28D is required for biological products under central oversight. Because the Drugs Rules, 1945, do not define a biological product due to its evolving nature, manufacturers are taking licences under different forms for the same product,” said one of the first officials cited above on the condition of anonymity. reported on 24 August that the Indian Pharmacopoeia Commission (IPC) was drafting a dedicated monograph for semaglutide, setting official standards for the drug’s identity, purity, potency and testing.
