Published: Jan 23 2025, 12 ameznews.inThe Delhi High Court has ruled that consent for sexual relations does not extend to the capturing and sharing of private moments on social media. Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma dismissed a rape suspect's bail application, emphasizing that consent cannot be misused or exploited, particularly in the context of inappropriate video sharing. The accused claimed their relationship soured over a loan repayment issue, but the court found that while the initial encounter may have been consensual, subsequent acts were rooted in coercion and blackmail. The court rejected the accused's argument that the complainant's marital status diminished the seriousness of the allegations, stating that her employment at a massage parlour should not undermine the gravity of the alleged offences. The complainant accused the accused of blackmailing her with a video, forcing her into sexual acts while threatening to publicize the content on social media.

Published: Jan 22 2025, 6 pmeznews.inIn a rare show of unity, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Congress jointly criticized the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) ahead of the Delhi Assembly elections scheduled for February 5. Their accusations targeted AAP-ruled Punjab police for allegedly campaigning for AAP candidates and the presence of numerous Punjab-registered vehicles in Delhi, which BJP's Parvesh Verma claimed posed a security risk during Republic Day preparations. Verma alleged these vehicles were used to distribute liquor and money to influence voters. Congress leader Sandeep Dikshit echoed these concerns, calling for the Election Commission's intervention. AAP leaders, including Arvind Kejriwal and Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, vehemently defended their party, accusing the BJP of insulting Punjabis and engaging in divisive politics. The Delhi police and Punjab police have exchanged letters regarding the movement of AAP leaders, emphasizing compliance with election protocols. The election follows AAP's significant victory in 2020, where they won 62 out of 70 seats.

Published: Jan 22 2025, 5 pmeznews.inThe Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has petitioned the Calcutta High Court for the death penalty for Sanjay Roy, convicted of rape and murder in the RG Kar case, after he was sentenced to life imprisonment by a lower court. The CBI argued that the West Bengal government's petition for the death penalty was not maintainable, stating that only the union government or the CBI could contest the sentence's inadequacy. This has sparked tensions with the Mamata Banerjee-led state government, which expressed outrage over the ruling, emphasizing the need for strict justice against heinous crimes. Justice Anirban Das acknowledged the crime's severity but highlighted the lack of sufficient evidence from the CBI to classify it as a 'rarest of rare' case for capital punishment. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court is set to resume hearings on the matter, having previously declined to transfer the trial outside West Bengal.
Published: Jan 22 2025, 5 pmeznews.inAs Karnataka's Congress government marks 20 months in office, the next two years will be pivotal for its political survival, given the state's historical trend of ruling parties struggling in their second term. Success hinges on three critical principles: efficient governance, party unity, and social harmony. Past administrations often faltered by neglecting these factors, leading to a cycle of political turnover since 1985. A recent Lokniti study suggests that the Congress's return to power could depend on its perceived performance in fulfilling key promises, particularly among women voters. However, internal strife, notably between leaders Siddaramaiah and D.K. Shivakumar, poses a threat to stability, despite the BJP's own issues with disunity. Furthermore, maintaining social harmony and public confidence will be essential, as any failure in these areas could significantly undermine the government's credibility and electoral prospects in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
