The Wisconsin Supreme Court has invalidated a centuries-old abortion ban, aligning current laws with newer standards and ensuring abortion services continue.

Wisconsin Court Overturns Historic Abortion Ban

In a landmark decision, the Wisconsin Supreme Court has ruled against the state's 176-year-old abortion ban, citing newer laws, and ensuring abortion services remain unaffected.

Wisconsin Overturns Historic Abortion Ban

The Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled that a 176-year-old abortion ban is invalid due to subsequent state laws on abortion, allowing services to continue.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court's liberal majority struck down the state's 176-year-old abortion ban on Wednesday, ruling 4-3 that it was superseded by newer state laws regulating the procedure, including statutes that criminalise abortions only after a fetus can survive outside the womb.
The ban state lawmakers adopted in 1849 made it a felony when anyone other than the mother &ldquo;intentionally destroys the life of an unborn child.&rdquo; It was in effect until 1973, when the US Supreme Court's landmark Roe v. Wade decision legalising abortion nationwide nullified it. Legislators never officially repealed the ban, however, and conservatives argued that the US Supreme Court's 2022 decision to overturn Roe reactivated it.
Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul, a Democrat, filed a lawsuit that year arguing that the ban was trumped by abortion restrictions legislators enacted during the nearly half-century that Roe was in effect.
Kaul specifically cited a 1985 law that essentially permits abortions until viability. Some babies can survive with medical help after 21 weeks of gestation.
Sheboygan County District Attorney Joel Urmanski, a Republican, defended the 1849 ban in court, arguing that it could coexist with the newer abortion restrictions, just as different penalties for the same crime coexist.
Dane County Circuit Judge Diane Schlipper ruled in 2023 that the 1849 ban outlaws feticide &mdash; which she defined as the killing of a fetus without the mother's consent &mdash; but not consensual abortions. Abortions have been available in the state since that ruling but the state Supreme Court decision gives providers and patients more certainty that abortions will remain legal in Wisconsin.
Urmanski had asked the state Supreme Court to overturn Schlipper's ruling without waiting for a decision from a lower appellate court. It was expected as soon as the justices took the case that they would overturn the ban. Liberals hold a 4-3 majority on the court and one of them, Janet Protasiewicz, openly stated on the campaign trail that she supports abortion rights.
The justices concluded that &ldquo;the legislature impliedly repealed&rdquo; the ban &ldquo;by enacting comprehensive legislation about virtually every aspect of abortion including where, when, and how healthcare providers may lawfully perform abortions,&rdquo; Justice Rebecca Dallet wrote for the majority. &ldquo;That comprehensive legislation so thoroughly covers the entire subject of abortion that it was clearly meant as a substitute for the 19th century near-total ban on abortion." In a dissent, Justice Annette Ziegler called the ruling &ldquo;a jaw-dropping exercise of judicial will." She said the liberal justices based the decision on their personal preference to allow abortions.
Urmanski's attorney, Andrew Phillips, didn't immediately respond to an email Wednesday morning seeking comment. Kaul's spokesperson, Riley Vetterkind, also didn't immediately return an email.
Democratic-backed Susan Crawford defeated conservative Brad Schimel for an open seat on the court in April, ensuring liberals will maintain their 4-3 edge until at least 2028. Crawford has not been sworn in yet and was not part of Wednesday's ruling. She'll play pivotal role, though, in a separate Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin lawsuit challenging the 1849 ban's constitutionality. The high court decided last year to take that case. It's still pending.

Court criticizes the SIT's chargesheet on the Hathras stampede, citing media and political influence. Eight organizers have been granted bail, while others remain in custody. The next court session is May 2.

Court Criticizes SIT in Hathras Stampede

The Hathras stampede case chargesheet is under scrutiny, with allegations of media and political pressure affecting its credibility. Eight organizers are out on bail, but others still await justice. The next hearing on May 2 aims to address these concerns.

Court criticizes the SIT's chargesheet on the Hathras stampede, citing media and political influence

Court criticizes SIT's chargesheet on Hathras stampede. Advocate claims media and political influence caused injustice. Eight organizers out on bail, three still in custody. Next court hearing on May 2.

The Special Investigation Team's (SIT's) chargesheet in the Hathras satsang stampede case came under sharp criticism in a court on Friday, with Supreme Court advocate A P Singh, representing Bhole Baba, describing it as a "bundle of lies" influenced by media and political pressure.
The chargesheet was discussed during a hearing in the district court here in connection with the stampede in Sikandrarao tehsil on July 2 last year which claimed 121 lives, most of them women and children during a religious gathering addressed by Surajpal alias Narayan Sakar Hari alias Bhole Baba.
Talking to reporters after the court proceedings, Singh, who is also representing all accused in the matter, said, "The SIT's chargesheet is nothing but a bundle of lies. It has been prepared hastily under media pressure, government influence and public outrage. Innocent people have been wrongly implicated." He added that detailed arguments were submitted in the court to highlight the alleged inconsistencies and flaws in the investigation.
"It is already becoming clear in the court that this chargesheet is fabricated. The truth will soon come to light and justice will prevail," he asserted.
Singh said out of the 11 event organisers, eight have already secured bail from the high court. "Only three individuals, chief organiser Devprakash Madhukar along with Mukesh and Megh Singh, remain in judicial custody," he said.
The court has scheduled the next hearing in the case for May 2, when further arguments are expected.
The tragic incident had drawn national attention, prompting the formation of a high-level SIT to probe the circumstances that led to the deadly stampede.
Surajpal alias Bhole Baba is not mentioned as an accused in the police FIR.
Event organisers are accused in the FIR over the event, where authorities found that the crowd had swollen to over 2 lakhs, much beyond the permitted limit of 80,000.

Dwarka Court Evacuation: Hoax Bomb Threat

Wednesday saw Dwarka Court's evacuation following a hoax bomb threat connected to a major drug bust inquiry. No explosives were discovered after thorough search operations. Authorities are determined to unveil the source of this disruption, ensuring court safety.

Dwarka Court evacuated after a hoax bomb threat linked to a drug bust

Dwarka Court was evacuated due to a hoax bomb threat linked to a drug bust investigation. No explosives were found.

The Dwarka court was evacuated Wednesday morning after it received a bomb threat, which later turned out to be a hoax, a police officer said.
According to police, the court's Chief Judicial Magistrate had received an email at 3.11 am on Tuesday about there being a bomb planted in the court's premises.
The court made a call to police at 10.50 am on Wednesday, the officer said, adding that it was declared a hoax after a thorough search of the premises.
The mailer threatened to blow up the courts if an investigation into the Rs 2,000 crore drug bust, in which a Tamil film producer was identified as the mastermind in 2024, is not stopped, a police source said.
The bomb threat led to judicial proceedings being halted and the emptying of courtrooms.
Advocate Anirudh Yadav, an eyewitness, said that around 11 am, the court received a bomb threat, following which the judges left and the court staff adjourned the listed matters.
"All entry and exit gates were sealed. The bomb-disposal squad conducted floor-by-floor checking of each courtroom," Yadav said.
Dog and bomb detection squads were rushed to the spot for a thorough check for the bomb, which wasn't there.
Police in a statement said the mailer said an RDX-based explosive device was planted in the court.
"Having received the security threat, local police, with senior officers along with Bomb Disposal Squad (BDS), immediately reached the court premises," it said.

A Thane court sentenced a man for kidnapping a minor, refuting rape charges due to lack of evidence, highlighting legal challenges in proving such cases.

Thane Man Sentenced for Kidnapping Minor

In a notable judgment, a Thane court sentenced a man for kidnapping a minor, dismissing rape charges over lack of evidence, underscoring challenges in proving such cases.

A Thane court sentenced a man for kidnapping a minor, refuting rape charges

A Thane court sentenced a man for kidnapping a minor but acquitted him of rape due to lack of evidence. The case reveals the legal intricacies of proving sexual assault against minors.

A court in Maharashtra&rsquo;s Thane district has convicted a 47-year-old man for kidnapping a minor girl and sentenced him to 7 years in jail.
Additional Sessions Judge (Kalyan) P R Ashturkar, however, dropped rape charges pressed against Deepak, alias Ganesh Bhanudas Bhuktar, citing lack of evidence.
A copy of the order passed on April 8 was made available on Friday.
Ambernath resident Bhuktar was booked in March 2018 after being accused of kidnapping the 13-year-old girl and taking her to Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, then Aurangabad.
Judge Ashturkar held that the minor&rsquo;s lack of consent or resistance was irrelevant in a kidnapping case. The court also said that Bhuktar had secretly given her a phone, which was &ldquo;indicative of malicious intent&rdquo;.
The kidnapping charge has been proved beyond reasonable doubt, the court held.
However, the court found the rape allegations lacked specific and clear evidence. It said the girl and her mother failed to provide any specific details regarding the alleged sexual assault, including date, time, or place.
Furthermore, the medical evidence did not support forceful sexual assault, the court said, acquitting Bhuktar of rape charges under the Indian Penal Code (IP) and Protection of Children From Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.
The court then convicted Bhuktar of kidnapping and sentenced him to seven years in jail and imposed a fine of Rs 3,000 on him.
Additional Public Prosecutor Sachin Kulkarni said six prosecution witnesses, including the teenager and her mother, were examined during the trial.

Google Chrome Incognito users lose $5B damages appeal

group of Google Chrome users who claimed that the company collected their private data in "Incognito" mode had their appeal for class action status rejected

A group of Google Chrome users who claimed that the company collected their private data in "Incognito" mode had their appeal for class action status rejected by the Ninth US Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco. The court upheld a previous ruling that denied their bid for large-scale claims, which could have included damages of up to $5 billion. Despite this setback, the plaintiffs may revive their monetary damages claims when a final judgment is reached, and they can also pursue other reliefs, such as limiting certain data collection practices. Google has denied any wrongdoing, asserting that its users consented to data collection. While the plaintiffs cannot seek monetary damages as a class, they still have the opportunity to pursue other claims against the company. A jury trial is scheduled for November 2023.

The court while convicting him in the case noted that during the trial, Khan had said he was not offering regular namaz.

Malegaon court's unique punishment for man involved in roadside brawl

A court at Malegaon in Maharashtra's Nashik district has convicted a Muslim man in a case of road accident brawl but let him go on two conditions

The court while convicting him in the case noted that during the trial, Khan had said he was not offering regular namaz.

A court at Malegaon in Maharashtra's Nashik district has convicted a Muslim man in a case of road accident brawl but instead of imprisonment, it has ordered him to plant two trees and offer namaz (prayers) five times a day for 21 days.
Magistrate Tejwant Singh Sandhu in the order passed on February 27 noted that provisions of the Probation of Offenders Act granted powers to a magistrate to release a convict after admonition or appropriate warning to ensure he or she does not repeat the offence.
The court said in the present case, mere warning would not be sufficient and it is important the convict remembers his conviction so that he does not repeat it.
"According to me, giving appropriate warning means, to give an understanding that the crime had been committed, the accused has been proven guilty and he remembers the same so that he does not repeat the offence again,&rdquo; the order said.
The 30-year-old convict, Rauf Khan, was booked in a 2010 case for allegedly assaulting a man and hurting him over a road accident brawl.
The court while convicting him in the case noted that during trial, Khan had said he was not offering regular namaz.
In view of this, the court ordered him to offer namaz five times a day for 21 days starting from February 28, plant two trees in the Sonapura Masjid premises and also care for the trees.
Khan was booked under Indian Penal Code Sections 323 (voluntarily causing hurt), 325 (voluntarily causing grievous hurt), 504 (intentional insult to provoke breach of peace) and 506 (criminal intimidation).
The court held Khan guilty under IPC Section 323 and acquitted him of the other charges.

Twitter has moved the Karnataka high court challenging the central government's order seeking withdrawal of certain content from its platform that allegedly violate Section 69A of the IT Act.
In its writ petition, the microblogging site has reportedly called the blocking orders "overbroad and arbitrary".
The accounts and content that Twitter has been asked to pull down include those pertaining to the nationwide farmers' protest against the three farm laws passed by the Centre in 2020, COVID-19 management, and so on. 
In a missive sent of June 27, the Ministry of Electronics and IT (MeitY) gave Twitter “one last opportunity” to comply with its blocking orders. The ministry warned that if content flagged by it is not taken down by the microblogging platform, the company will risk losing its immunity as an intermediary. The deadline ended on July 4.
The move came after the IT ministry proposed fresh amendments to rules governing intermediaries such as Facebook and Twitter. Key amendments include a proposal to set up government-appointed grievance committees with the power to review and revoke content moderation decisions taken by these companies.

A 'shivling' has been found inside Gyanvapi mosque in Varanasi - this is what some people connected to the mosque-temple case claimed on May 16. The contention was quickly contested by the opposing side.
On May 16, the third and last day of the videographic survey of the mosque, claims emerged that a 'shivling' - an idol linked to Hindu god Shiv - had been found in a pond in the Gyanvapi mosque premises.
The 'shivling' was found when water was drained from the pond for the survey, as per reports. Subsequently, a local court hearing the case ordered that the pond be sealed. The pond is reportedly used for 'wuzu' or purification ritual before namaz by Muslim devotees.
The survey of the mosque was ordered by the court after some women filed a petition, seeking permission to conduct prayers at the Shringar Gauri shrine located at the mosque's wall.
The Gyanvapi mosque is located close to the Kashi Vishwanath temple.

Shivling inside Gyanvapi mosque? Court seals pond amid claim & counter as video survey ends

Gyanvapi masjid-Shringar Gauri temple case: on the last day of the court-mandated video survey, claims emerged that a 'shivling' had been found inside the Varanasi mosque.

The survey of the mosque was ordered by the court after some women filed a petition, seeking permission to conduct prayers at the Shringar Gauri shrine located at the mosque's wall.
The Gyanvapi mosque is located close to the Kashi Vishwanath temple.

As the Gyanvapi Mosque-Shringar Gauri temple issue gathers steam, Asaduddin Owaisi commented on the case. The All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen chief also said that the Muslim community in India was never a vote bank, and will never be.
The Hyderabad MP said, "In our dear country, Muslims cannot change the government. You are being misled. Muslims used to think that they are a vote bank. Muslims were never a vote bank. It never was, and never will be so. In this country, there was and will always be a vote bank of the majority community. You have been cheated with this attractive and alluring idea that Muslims are a vote bank."
He cited the Babri Masjid-Ram Janmabhoomi dispute, and invoked the ongoing Gyanvapi-Shringar Gauri case. "We cannot change the government. If we could, then why would the Indian Parliament have so few Muslim members? When was the last time that a Muslim MP was elected from Gujarat? If we could change government... the Babri Masjid issue has been adjudicated by the courts, and now Gyanvapi Mosque issue has erupted. You are free to disagree with me," he added.
His comments came in the wake of a local Varanasi court allowing videographic survey of the mosque. The court is hearing petitions by some Delhi-based women for permission to perform daily worship of Hindu deities located on the outer wall of the Gyanvapi Masjid.
The mosque is located next to Varanasi's Kashi Vishwanath temple. Owaisi earlier said that the Gyanvapi mosque's status is protected by Places of Worship Act, 1991.

Heavy security deployment was seen in the area. A day earlier, the court commissioner's team had conducted a survey of some areas outside the mosque. The survey was undertaken as part of a case being heard by a local court.
