Priya Kapur moves Delhi HC seeking clarity on education, upkeep of Sunjay Kapur's children - Litigation - 1 min read Priya Kapur moves Delhi HC seeking clarity on education, upkeep of Sunjay Kapur's children Priya Kapur has asked the Delhi High Court for operational clarity regarding children's education and overseas property payments in the Sunjay Kapur estate case. The application aims to ensure continuity of university fees, boarding, and property expenses in the US and UK, without altering existing court protections on the estate. In a fresh development in the ongoing partition proceedings relating to the estate of the late Sunjay Kapur, Priya Kapur has approached the Delhi High Court seeking limited operational clarifications to ensure uninterrupted educational and maintenance-related payments for the children of actor Karisma Kapoor. According to submissions made before the court, counsel appearing for Priya Kapur has filed a clarification application following the interim order passed on April 30, 2026. The application is described as purely operational in nature and seeks guidance on the continued functioning of certain bank accounts to meet ongoing obligations linked to education and overseas properties during the pendency of the proceedings. The application points out that several of these payments—particularly university-linked expenses and property-related obligations—are operationally connected to foreign bank accounts maintained in the relevant jurisdictions, and require continuity to avoid disruption. Crucially, Priya Kapur has clarified that the application does not seek any modification, dilution, review or vacation of the interim protections already granted by the court over the estate. It has been stated that all balances protected under the interim order will remain preserved, and the relief sought is limited to ensuring continuity of…

SC to hear Twisha Sharma dowry death case on Monday over probe discrepancies

SC to hear Twisha Sharma dowry death case on Monday over probe discrepancies SC to hear Twisha Sharma dowry death case on Monday over probe discrepancies The Supreme Court has stepped into the controversial Twisha Sharma death case, raising questions over alleged institutional bias and procedural lapses as scrutiny intensifies around the investigation into the young woman's death. The Supreme Court took suo motu cognisance of the Twisha Sharma case amid mounting concerns over alleged procedural lapses, institutional bias and claims that the investigation into the 33-year-old woman’s death may have been compromised. A three-judge bench led by Chief Justice of India Surya Kant, along with Justice Joymalya Bagchi and Justice Vipul M Pancholi, will hear the matter on Monday, May 25. The suo motu case has been registered under the title: “In Re: Alleged Institutional Bias and Procedural Discrepancies in the unnatural death of a young girl at her matrimonial home”. Twisha Sharma, a corporate professional and former actor, died at her matrimonial home in Bhopal on May 12. NOTE PLACED BEFORE CJI has accessed the note placed by the Supreme Court Registry before CJI Surya Kant seeking permission to initiate suo motu proceedings in the matter. The note said the request was being made “on the basis of media reports and other attending circumstances concerning the death of Ms Twisha Sharma”. According to the document, concerns were being raised that “a fair and independent investigation has allegedly been compromised on account of judicial influence”.

5. Hyderabad police aim to break language barriers with AI

Hyderabad police aim to break language barriers with AI

Hyderabad police aim to break language barriers with AI Inside a police station, language and clear communication can change the course of a case. A victim trying to explain a domestic dispute in Bengali to a Telugu-speaking officer, a migrant worker narrating an assault in Hindi, or a witness struggling to describe an incident in Tamil can all lead to confusion, delays and, sometimes, crucial details getting lost in translation. The Hyderabad City Police are now attempting to solve that problem with artificial intelligence, launching an AI-powered multilingual complaint recording system that they say could fundamentally change how police interact with the public. On Friday (May 22), the city police launched ‘AI-CopWriter’, an AI-powered mobile application designed to record, transcribe and translate complaints in 10 Indian languages in real time. Sajjanar described it as India’s first multilingual AI complaint recorder integrated into police functioning at the station level. DCP of Social Media and IT (SM&IT) of Hyderabad police Ch. Rupesh said Hyderabad’s cosmopolitan nature made such a system necessary to bridge the communication gap between citizens and police officers. According to him, a complainant being unable to clearly explain what happened can directly affect how a case is registered and what legal sections are invoked. “If you cannot properly convey your problems, even a doctor may not diagnose you correctly,” he said.
