Published: Apr 17 2025, 1 ameznews.inThe Allahabad High Court has ruled that couples who marry against their parents' wishes cannot automatically claim police protection unless there is a credible threat to their safety.

The court found no substantial evidence indicating that the couple's life or liberty was at risk, referencing a Supreme Court judgment which states that courts are not obligated to provide protection for couples who elope. The court emphasized that the couple must learn to navigate societal challenges together and noted that if they genuinely face threats, the police are empowered to take appropriate action. Ultimately, the court disposed of their petition, underscoring that security cannot be claimed as a right in the absence of a real threat.

Published: Apr 16 2025, 8 pmeznews.inKarnataka Governor Thawar Chand Gehlot has forwarded a bill proposing a 4% reservation for Muslims in government contracts to President Droupadi Murmu, citing constitutional limitations against reservations based on religion. The Karnataka Transparency in Public Procurements (Amendment) Bill, approved by the state assembly in March, has faced criticism from the opposition BJP and HD Kumaraswamy's Janata Dal Secular, who argue it is unconstitutional and could polarize society. While reservations for specific backward communities are permissible, the current bill's foundation dates back to former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's tenure, which initially proposed a 24% quota for Scheduled Castes and Tribes. The bill's contention arises as the Congress claims Muslims are included as an OBC sub-category, whereas the BJP disputes this. The Governor's decision follows a Supreme Court ruling clarifying the powers of governors regarding bill assent timelines.
