Delhi riots chronology: From Ankit Sharma's murder to Tahir Hussain's conviction

Delhi riots chronology: From Ankit Sharma's murder to Tahir Hussain's conviction Delhi riots chronology: From Ankit Sharma's murder to Tahir Hussain's conviction How was IB officer Ankit Sharma killed during the 2020 Delhi riots? Why did former MCD councillor Tahir Hussain become the prime accused? What evidence did investigators present, and what did the Karkardooma Court rule? Nearly six years after the 2020 Delhi riots, the Karkardooma Court has convicted former MCD councillor Tahir Hussain in the murder case of Intelligence Bureau (IB) officer Ankit Sharma. The verdict follows years of investigation, forensic examination, witness testimonies and trial proceedings. The case became one of the most high-profile prosecutions arising out of the northeast Delhi riots, with investigators alleging that Sharma was killed by a violent mob before his body was dumped in a drain. Here's a detailed timeline of how the case unfolded, from the outbreak of communal violence in 2020 to the court's conviction in 2026. 17-23 FEBRUARY 2020 Tension began escalating across several parts of northeast Delhi over protests for and against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). Localities including Jaffrabad, Maujpur, Chand Bagh, Karawal Nagar and Khajuri Khas emerged as some of the most sensitive areas as the atmosphere became increasingly volatile. 24 FEBRUARY 2020 Large-scale communal violence broke out in northeast Delhi.

Over 47% schools already comply with 3-language policy, CBSE tells Supreme Court

Over 47% schools already comply with 3-language policy, CBSE tells Supreme Court Over 47% schools already comply with 3-language policy, CBSE tells Supreme Court Ahead of the Supreme Court hearing, the CBSE has defended its revised three-language policy, saying nearly half of its affiliated schools already meet the new requirement. The Board has also argued that foreign languages have not been removed from the curriculum. The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has defended its revised three-language policy before the Supreme Court, stating that 47.3 per cent of its 28,848 affiliated schools already offer two or more Bhartiya Bhashas to Class 9 students and therefore comply with the new framework without requiring any additional teachers. The figures were placed before the court in a counter affidavit filed by the CBSE. Separate affidavits have also been submitted by the Ministry of Education and the NCERT, together forming the Centre's defence against petitions filed by parents and foreign-language teachers challenging the policy. BOARD DEFENDS ITS STAND According to the CBSE affidavit, 99.19 per cent of affiliated schools already have at least one teacher for an Indian language, while schools that require more time to build teaching capacity have been allowed flexible staffing arrangements as an interim measure. The petitions, filed by parents from Delhi, Gurugram, Noida and Chennai along with foreign-language teachers, challenge the Board's May 15 circular, which made the study of three languages compulsory for Class 9 students from July 1, 2026. The matter is scheduled to be heard by the Supreme Court on Tuesday.

CCI slaps over Rs 140-cr penalties on HP India, resellers for breach of antitrust rules

CCI slaps over Rs 140-cr penalties on HP India, resellers for breach of antitrust rules - Regulators - 2 min read CCI slaps over Rs 140-cr penalties on HP India, resellers for breach of antitrust rules New Delhi: The Competition Commission of India (CCI) on Monday imposed penalties totaling Rs 142.37 crore on HP India and its resellers in two separate cases of alleged indulgence in cartelisation and bid-rigging in the supply of IT products to Delhi buyers who had floated tenders through the government e-marketplace (GeM). Through two orders, the regulator has now directed HP India and the resellers to immediately cease and desist from such anti-competitive practices. Both the cases originated on the basis of lesser penalty applications filed by HP India under Section 46 of the Competition Act. The section allows the regulator to grant leniency or lower penalty to a cartel member for voluntarily coming forward with disclosure and providing full, true, and vital information about the cartel's operations. In this case, the CCI slapped a penalty of Rs 126.87 crore on HP India and a combined Rs 1.22 crore on five resellers for “indulging in the cartelisation in sale and supply of personal system products”, the regulator said in a statement. The resellers are Delphi Infosolutions, Digitech Computers, Orbit Techsol, Hind Technocare and Krishna Computers. The regulator found that HP India was “engaged in dictating bid prices to resellers and manipulated participation of resellers in the GeM tenders by withholding authorization, in order to benefit itself”, in violation of rules. The five resellers were found to be colluding with HP India.

NCLT refuses to reinstate Juliet Apparels founder Gunvant Trevadia as Director - Litigation - 2 min read NCLT refuses to reinstate Juliet Apparels founder Gunvant Trevadia as Director Mumbai-based Juliet Apparels Pvt. The dispute is between two branches of the family that founded the company. Mumbai: In a matter related to board representation, the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) has refused to reinstate Juliet Apparels' founder Gunvant Trevadia as a director of the company. The dispute is between two branches of the family that founded the company. The tribunal has, however, observed that the company shall be treated as a 'quasi-partnership' between the two branches of the founding family and has accordingly directed the company to add a seat on the board for the ousted faction. "The petitioner group's right to have proportional representation in the board is consistent with the historical understanding discernible from the facts of the case; we are of the considered view that the respondent family group ought to allow another nominee from the petitioner group on the board of the company (Juliet Apparels Pvt Ltd) to represent their group," said the division bench of judicial member Sushil Mahadeorao Kochey and a technical member Prabhat Kumar in its 40-page order. Juliet Apparels was formed after the amalgamation of several family-owned partnership firms. Subsequently, Trevadia and his son approached the tribunal under Sections 241 and 242 of the Companies Act, alleging oppression and mismanagement by the rival branch of the family.
