'No order without hearing us': Hindu party files caveat in SC after HC Bhojshala verdict

'No order without hearing us': Hindu party files caveat in SC after HC Bhojshala verdict NEW DELHI: Two caveat pleas were moved in the Supreme Court on Friday, hours after the Madhya Pradesh high court declared the disputed Bhojshala-Kamal Maula complex in Dhar as a temple of Goddess Vagdevi (Saraswati). The plea was filed anticipating a possible challenge to the verdict by the Muslim side. A caveat plea is generally filed as a precautionary legal notice by anyone who anticipates that someone else may move court against them. It acts as a legal safeguard, ensuring that the court hears the caveator before passing any order or granting relief in the matter. The first caveat petition was filed by Hindu-side litigant Jitendra Singh Vishen, who is also a petitioner before the Madhya Pradesh high court in the Bhojshala dispute. The plea sought a direction that no order be passed by the apex court without hearing him if the verdict is challenged. Subsequently, another caveat plea was filed by the main Hindu-side petitioner through advocate Vishnu Shankar Jain, seeking similar protection before any proceedings are undertaken in the Supreme Court. The caveat petitions came shortly after the Indore bench of the Madhya Pradesh high court held that the religious character of the disputed monument was that of Bhojshala, a temple dedicated to Goddess Saraswati.

Late-night hearing: Telangana HC refuses to grant Union Minister's son interim protection from arrest in POCSO case

Late-night hearing: Telangana HC refuses to grant Union Minister's son interim protection from arrest in POCSO case The Telangana High Court on Friday refused to grant interim protection from arrest to Bandi Sai Bageerath, the son of Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Bandi Sanjay Kumar, in a case under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. After a hearing that ran late into the night, a vacation Bench comprising Justice T Madhavi Devi reserved its verdict in Bageerath's anticipatory bail application. However, the Court rejected a plea to protect Bageerath from arrest until the verdict is pronounced, despite fervent requests by his counsel. "I don’t think I should be granting any interim order at this stage... I have gone through statement of the victim and after going through that, at this stage, I am not inclined to grant any interim order," the judge said. The Court began hearing the matter around 9 PM in the evening. As the hearing drew to a close past 11.30 PM, the judge said that she had planned to pass orders in the matter today but would need time to consider the detailed submissions made by counsel. "I thought of passing of order today but with so much material...," said Justice Devi.

'Some youngsters like cockroaches': CJI on unemployed youth turning activists

'Some youngsters like cockroaches': CJI on unemployed youth turning activists NEW DELHI: Chief Justice of India Surya Kant on Friday likened some unemployed youngsters to "cockroaches", saying they end up becoming media persons, social media users and RTI activists who "start attacking everyone". The remarks were made during a hearing before a bench of CJI Kant and Joymalya Bagchi, which was hearing a petition filed by a lawyer seeking designation as a senior advocate, news agency PTI reported. Pulling up the petitioner for allegedly pursuing the designation, the bench said such status was conferred by the court and not something to be chased. "The entire world may be eligible to become senior (advocate), but at least you are not entitled," the bench told the petitioner lawyer. The CJI also warned that even if the Delhi high court were to grant the lawyer senior advocate designation, the Supreme Court of India could set it aside after examining his professional conduct. Referring to the petitioner’s conduct and his social media posts, the bench observed that there were already "parasites" in society who attack institutions. "There are already parasites of society who attack the system and you want to join hands with them?" the CJI said. He then made the sharp remark that has triggered attention.

Also Read | 'Murder by system': Rahul Gandhi targets Centre over NEET suicides, paper leaksPV Kulkarni, the Chemistry lecturer, was arrested from Pune. According to the CBI, Kulkarni had access to the question papers owing to his role in conducting examinations for the NTA. “During the last week of April, he (Kulkarni) had mobilised students with the help of another accused, Manisha Waghmare, who was arrested on May 14, and conducted special coaching classes at his residence in Pune. He dictated the questions along with options and the correct answers during these special coaching classes, and the questions so dictated were handwritten by students in their notebooks and have exactly tallied with the actual question paper of NEET-UG 2026,” the agency said in a statement, according to ANI. The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET)-UG 2026 was held on May 3 and cancelled on May 12 after the paper leak came to light.
