Birthday wishes to my friend, guide & leader Sh. Dushyant Chautala.

Man who is re-defining politics in #India

The High Commission of India in London has issued a statement condemning "indecorous audience behaviour" after a video from CJI Surya Kant's June 4 lecture at Birkbeck College went viral, showing an attendee attempting to raise questions on dissent in India during an event convened specifically on 'Artificial Intelligence and International Law,' before being cut off by the organiser. The High Commission said differences of opinion are natural in a democracy but must be expressed "in a manner that is civil and respectful."

A Junior Engineer (JE) in the MCD, a relatively junior public servant with limited pay and status in the government hierarchy.

Yet, the post is often regarded as one of the most sought-after positions in the municipal system.

The obvious question is: why?

If one were to compare the declared and actual assets of certain officials against the total legitimate earnings possible over an entire service career, many uncomfortable questions would arise.

When a relatively junior post becomes more coveted than several senior government positions, the issue is not protocol, rank, or salary. The issue is the ecosystem that makes it so valuable.

Perhaps it is time for a serious audit of assets, accountability, and enforcement

Delhi High Court was told that no construction activity was taking place at the site.

Days later, the under construction building collapsed. Many Lives were lost.

MCD is one of the most corruption-ridden institution in the country. The organised mafia doesn't shy filing false affidavits in courts.

For them few lakhs is greater than a human life.

If the court was told one thing and the ground reality was another, who is accountable?

Rohini Court Altercation Row: Delhi High Court Orders Protection For Police Officer, Accepts No-Contact Assurance

This is beyond shocking—a complete collapse of deterrence.

It seems perpetrators act no fear of law or consequences, it reflects a deeper failure of law and order too

Hoping the Punjab Police acts swiftly and decisively.

पंजाब के कुराली से एक दिल दहला देने वाली घटना सामने आई है. जहां पर एक साढ़े चार साल की बच्ची को दिनदहाड़े उसके दादा-दादी के सामने किडनैप कर लिया गया. बच्ची को बचाने के चक्कर में गाड़ी के आगे आए दादा दादी को भी कार चालक ने कुचलने का प्रयास किया. बच्ची के पिता के मुताबिक उसकी अपनी पत्नी के साथ विवाद चल रहा है. कोर्ट में बच्चों की कस्टडी को लेकर बातचीत जारी है. उन्हें शक है कि उनकी पत्नी ने ही किडनैपर की मदद से बच्ची को किडनैप किया है.

While GRAP-1 is back to tackle pollution, here’s a ground reality we can’t ignore.

In South Delhi’s Jonapur, garbage lies dumped in the open for days—and is then often burnt. I see this every day on my way to court.

This isn’t just negligence, it’s a recurring, man-made pollution problem.

Amidst all the PR and Instagram politics, this is the ground reality of Delhi, in the constituency of MLA Kartar Singh Tanwar.
@kartarbjp46
Time for the Delhi Government and MCD to step in and fix this daily mess.

The President is pleased to increase the Judge strength of the Supreme Court from 33 to 37 Judges (Excluding the Chief Justice of India) by promulgating The Supreme Court (Number of Judges) Amendment Ordinance, 2026, which has further amended the “Supreme Court (Number of Judges) Act, 1956”.

[Prateek som @Prateeksom2]

When Hon’ble CJI Justice Surya Kant used the term “parasites”, it was not for the youth at large, but for those misusing the system—individuals with fake or bogus law degrees posing as advocates and eroding the integrity of the profession.

A strong but warranted remark. The legal system cannot be allowed to be diluted by imposters masquerading in black coats.

In courtrooms, context is everything—every remark and argument must be understood in its proper setting.

Unfortunately, some so-called “legal journalists,” many without even basic legal credentials, have completely misrepresented that context.

This young man with folded hands wanted mercy from the Court when it wanted to throw him behind bars. No lawyer should have to find himself or herself in a situation where he or she is forced to have to do that.

[Prateek som @Prateeksom2]

Deeply disturbing. How can a High Court judge speak to an advocate like this? Judicial office demands dignity and restraint. This kind of conduct shakes faith in the system—if it persists, serious review of judicial work allocation to this judge is warranted.

[Anna A. Oommen @oommenanna07]

Deeply disturbing to see a newly enrolled lawyer to be treated in such a manner. What is more troubling is that the Bar couldn’t even stand up for one of its own!
