VP Dhankhar criticizes the lack of FIR in Justice Varma's case. Supreme Court's in-house probe questioned for lack of authority. Calls for judicial transparency and accountability amid allegations.

VP Dhankhar Questions FIR Absence in Judge Case

Vice President Dhankhar raises issues over the absent FIR in Justice Varma's case. Suggests judiciary enjoys undue immunity amidst corruption investigations, pressing for transparency and accountability.

VP Dhankhar criticizes the lack of FIR in Justice Varma's case

VP Jagdeep Dhankhar questions absence of an FIR in a case involving Justice Yashwant Varma. Concerns over judiciary's immunity amid corruption allegations spark calls for transparency and prompt action.

Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar on Thursday questioned the lack of an FIR in the discovery of wads of burnt cash case from the residence of a high court judge, wondering whether a "category beyond law" has secured immunity from prosecution.
The Supreme Court ordered an in-house probe into the alleged discovery of half-burnt wads of cash from Justice Yashwant Varma's residence after a fire on the night of Holi on March 14. Justice Varma has now been repatriated from the Delhi High Court to his parent high court of Allahabad.
Dhankhar also questioned the legal standing of the three-judge panel carrying out an in-house probe into the matter.
Referring to the case, he said every Indian is deeply concerned.
"If the event had taken place at his (common man's) house, the speed would have been an electronic rocket. Now it is not even a cattle cart." Dhankhar said while a committee of three judges is probing the matter, an investigation is the domain of the executive and not the judiciary.
He said the committee has not been set up under any provision of the Constitution or law.
"And what can the committee do? The committee can at the most make a recommendation. Recommendation to whom? And for what? "The kind of mechanism we have for judges, the only action finally that can be taken is by Parliament (by way of removal of the judge)," he said.
The committee report, Dhankhar said, "inherently lacks legal standing".
"It is now over a month. Even if it is a can of worms, even if there are skeletons in the cupboard, (it's) time to blow up the can, time for its lid to go out, and time for the cupboard to collapse. Let the worms and skeletons be in the public domain so that cleansing takes place," Dhankhar said here addressing a group of Rajya Sabha interns.
He said for seven days no one knew about the incident.
"We have to ask questions to ourselves. Is the delay explainable? Condonable? Does it not raise certain fundamental questions? In any ordinary situation, things would have been different," he said.
After the incident was confirmed by the top court, it became clear that something required to be investigated, he said.
"Now the nation waits with bated breath. The nation is restive because one of our institutions, to which people have looked up always with the highest respect and deference, was put in the dock," he said.
Emphasising the significance of the rule of law, he said in a democracy purity of its criminal justice system defines its direction.
He said no investigation under the law is in progress at the moment due to the lack of an FIR.
"It is law of the land that every cognisable offence is required to be reported to the police and failure to do so, and failure to report a cognisable offence is a crime. Therefore, you all will be wondering why there has been no FIR," he said.
An FIR, Dhankhar pointed out, can be registered against anyone, any constitutional functionary including the vice president.
"One has only to activate the rule of law. No permission is required. But if it is judges, their category, FIR cannot be straightaway registered. It has to be approved by the concerned in the judiciary," he said.
He underlined that the Constitution has accorded immunity from prosecution only to the president and the governors.
"So how come a category beyond law has secured this immunity?" he wondered.
Underscoring the importance of transparency, the vice president referred to a decision of a Lokpal bench that it possessed the jurisdiction to investigate corruption complaints against high court judges.
He said taking a suo motu cognisance, the apex court stayed the order on the grounds of independence of the judiciary.
"This independence is not a protection. This independence is not some kind of impregnable cover against inquiry, investigation or probe.
"Institutions thrive with transparency, with there being probe. The surest way to degenerate an institution or an individual is to give total guarantee there will be no inquiry, no scrutiny, no probe," Dhankhar said.

Delhi court orders FIR against Arvind Kejriwal for alleged public fund misuse, amid electoral losses and legal struggles.

Kejriwal Faces FIR amid Political Challenges

Arvind Kejriwal confronts legal and electoral setbacks as a Delhi court orders an FIR for alleged misuse of public funds.

Setback for Kejriwal: FIR ordered amid political turmoil

A Delhi court orders an FIR against Kejriwal, alleging misuse of public funds on hoardings, amid electoral and legal setbacks.

In a recent setback for Arvind Kejriwal, the leader of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and former Chief Minister of Delhi, a court in Delhi has ordered the registration of a First Information Report (FIR) against him.
This development comes in the wake of his loss in the Delhi Assembly elections, including from his own New Delhi constituency, and amid ongoing legal challenges related to the alleged Delhi liquor policy scam, for which he is currently out on bail.
At Rouse Avenue Court, a petition was brought forward requesting legal action against Mr. Kejriwal and two other AAP leaders, Gulab Singh and Nitika Sharma, for allegedly misusing public funds on large-scale hoardings.
The court has directed the Delhi Police to file the FIR, with a compliance report due by March 18. Although a lower court had dismissed the petition earlier, the case, which dates back to 2019, has now gained traction.
The allegations are centered around claims that Mr. Kejriwal, along with former AAP MLA Singh and Dwarka councilor Sharma, expended public resources on these hoardings. Throughout AAP's decade-long governance in Delhi, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has consistently accused them of using public money for personal publicity. Last January, the Directorate of Information and Publicity demanded AAP reimburse Rs 163.62 crore, including interest, for misusing funds on political advertising.
The BJP has also argued that AAP prioritized publicity spending over actual project allocations. In one instance, they claimed Rs 80 crore was spent promoting the Business Blasters scheme, despite an allotment of only Rs 54 crore. Similarly, they alleged disproportionate publicity spends for the Desh Ke Mentor and Stubble Management schemes.
Additionally, the BJP criticized the substantial funds allocated for renovations at the Delhi chief minister&rsquo;s residence during Mr. Kejriwal&rsquo;s tenure, an expense derisively labeled "Sheeshmahal."
In defense, the AAP stated that renovations were essential for the 1942-built residence, following recommendations from the Public Works Department. However, this issue seemingly contributed to the party's electoral losses.
From holding over 60 of the 70 Assembly seats in 2019, the AAP's presence diminished to just 22 seats, while the BJP secured a commanding 48 seats, claiming power in Delhi for the first time in 26 years. In the New Delhi constituency, Parvesh Verma of the BJP defeated Mr. Kejriwal with a margin exceeding 4,000 votes.
Moreover, in January, the Home Ministry authorized the Enforcement Directorate to prosecute Mr. Kejriwal and former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act concerning the liquor policy case. AAP, however, has consistently denied all allegations against its leaders.

Amritpal Singh, associates booked in a fresh FIR for possession of illegal weapons

Speaking to reporters in Amritsar on Sunday, the SSP said police had arrested seven associates of the self-styled Sikh preacher near Mehatpur in Jalandhar on Saturday.

A fresh FIR was lodged against radical preacher Amritpal Singh and some of his associates on Sunday in connection with the possession of illegal weapons, a senior police officer said.
Amritsar Rural Senior Superintendent of Police Satinder Singh said seven of Amritpal's associates have been arrested under Arms Act. Punjab Police had on Saturday launched a major crackdown against Amritpal, with police arresting 78 members of an outfit headed by him.
However, the hunt is on to catch Amritpal who gave the police a slip when his cavalcade was intercepted in Jalandhar district on Saturday.
Police had already registered an FIR in the February 23 Ajnala incident against Amritpal and his associates.
Speaking to reporters in Amritsar on Sunday, the SSP said police had arrested seven associates of the self-styled Sikh preacher near Mehatpur in Jalandhar on Saturday.
They were part of Amritpal's convoy, the police officer said.
He said six 12 bore guns and some cartridges have been seized, which are illegal.
Referring to the arrest of seven accused on Saturday night, the SSP said, "We have registered a fresh FIR last night now under the Arms Act in which Amritpal is the key accused. All seven are also accused in this fresh FIR."&nbsp;

Meanwhile, the chief coach of Prakash Padukone Badminton Academy, Vimal Kumar said in a statement that the allegations were "baseless, frivolous and made with malicious intent".
The complainant alleged that Kumar colluded with Lakshya's parents to forge a birth certificate in 2010. If the charges are proven, the star Indian shuttler, who was awarded the Arjuna recently, will have to forego a lot of his records.
Lakshya was also a runner-up in the All England Championships and played a key role in India's historic Thomas Cup triumph earlier this year.

Noida doctors booked for 'wrong' treatment of COVID patient

Noida doctors booked for 'negligence' over Covid-19 patient's death

Deceased's kin claimed that he was not administered remdesivir injection in time at the hospital .

Deceased's kin claimed that he was not administered remdesivir injection in time at the hospital

Five doctors of a private hospital in Noida have been booked for alleged negligence in treatment of a Covid-19 patient which led to his death during the second wave of the pandemic in 2021, officials said on Monday.
The family of the patient, who was in his early 20s, claimed that he was not administered remdesivir injection in time at the hospital despite them purchasing it on the basis of doctor's prescription, according to the FIR.
The first information report (FIR) has been lodged against the doctors of Yatharth Hospital at the Phase 2 police station under Indian Penal Code section 304A (causing death by negligence) over a complaint by Gautam Buddh Nagar's deputy chief medical officer Dr Tikam Singh.
Dr Singh also headed an official probe committee which had investigated the complaint of the Ghaziabad-based family and the allegations to be true.
However, Yatharth Hospital's managing director Kapil Tyagi claimed that the allegations were misplaced.
&ldquo;The patient was brought to our hospital in a critical condition. I believe had there been a delay of even half an hour, the patient would not have survived. But here his condition started improving and after about 35 days, the family took him to another hospital in Delhi,&rdquo; Tyagi told PTI.
He said the team of doctors at the hospital did a good job at their end, considering the challenging situation during the second wave of the pandemic last year.
&ldquo;Also, on the family's allegation of not administering remdesivir injection in time, there are multiple research reports which later showed remdesivir had no impact in treating coronavirus. We understand that the family has lost a young child and it is very unfortunate,&rdquo; Tyagi said.
Paramhans Tiwari, the in-charge of the Phase 2 police station, said the police are investigating the matter and further action would be taken on the basis of findings of their probe.&nbsp;

With the NCRB stating that Rajasthan had the highest number of rape cases in India in 2021, the state's police force has jumped to defend the law and order situation.
Rajasthan police ascribed the high number of rape cases to false allegations, and mandatory registration of FIRs. In Rajasthan, 48% rape cases have turned out to be false, according to Additional Director General of Police (Crime) Ravi Prakash Mehrada.
He added that a policy of "uninterrupted registration of FIRs" has been adopted, and a comfortable environment is provided to victims at women's helpdesks. Rajasthan police added that the average time taken for the investigation of cases related to atrocities on women has also reduced.
Recently, the National Crime Records Bureau said that Rajasthan saw a 19% increase in rape cases from 2020 to 2021.
The Opposition BJP attacked the Congress government led by Ashok Gehlot over the statistics. BJP said that Gehlot was busy protecting his CM throne, instead of maintaining law and order.
