Congress Will Ensure Justice To Rohith Vemula's Family: KC Venugopal

AIADMK stalwart Panneerselvam demands justice for slain Congress leader Murugesan
AIADMK stalwart Panneerselvam demands justice for slain Congress leader Murugesan Former Chief Minister O Panneerselvam on Sunday condemned the killing of Congress party's Tirunelveli East district unit president KPK Jayakumar Dhanasingh and demanded that Chief Minister M K Stalin pay special attention to law and order issues and bring to book the guilty. Panneerselvam, who heads the AIADMK Workers Rights Retrieval Committee, slammed the DMK government for ''negligence'' and alleged complete deterioration of law and order in Tamil Nadu that has turned the state into a den of anti-social elements. ''The Congress leader having been burnt to death proves this,'' he claimed. The former CM said Dhanasingh had ''lodged a complaint with police,'' over threats to his life. Still, the Congress party leader was killed and it showed the extent of slackness under the DMK regime. Panneerselvam demanded that the Chief Minister pay individual attention to law and order issues, rein in criminals with an iron hand and bring to justice the perpetrators of Dhanasingh's murder. Had adequate security cover been extended by police to the Congress leader, the murder would not have happened and the DMK government failed to prevent the crime. ''This leads to a suspicion if the DMK regime is acting in support of anti-social elements.'' Under the DMK regime, there was no guarantee for Tamil Nadu people's safety during the past three years, he alleged in a statement. Such incidents of crime demonstrate that anti-social elements, extremists and terrorists have seen ''evolution,'' under the DMK-rule, Panneerselvam alleged. The half-burnt body of Dhanasingh was found on May 4 at his farm in Tirunelveli district.

Discrepancies in probe into Rohith Vemula's death, will ensure justice: Congress
NEW DELHI: The Congress on Sunday said there were many discrepancies in the investigation conducted previously into Rohith Vemula's death in 2016 and asserted that its government in Telangana will leave no stone unturned to ensure justice for his family. Police in Telangana have filed a closure report before a court in its probe into the death of Rohith Vemula, a student of the University of Hyderabad, claiming he was not a Dalit and died by suicide in 2016 as he feared that his eal caste would be discovered. Congress general secretary, organisation, K C Venugopal, said Rohith Vemula's death was a grave atrocity that completely exposed the anti-Dalit mindset of the BJP. The Congress, including Rahul Gandhi ji, has stood with Rohith Vemula's family through this difficult period, he said in a post on X. As has been clarified by the Telangana Police, the closure report concerned was prepared in June 2023, Venugopal said. There were many discrepancies in the investigation conducted previously. The Congress government in Telangana will leave no stone unturned to ensure justice for Rohith's family, he asserted. The Congress came to power in the state last year by defeating the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS). Not only that, when we form a government at the Centre, we will pass a Rohith Vemula Act, specifically addressing the issue of caste and communal atrocities on campuses to ensure no student coming from socio-economic backwardness has to face the same plight as Rohith ever again, he said. Venugopal's remarks came a day after Rohith Vemula's mother Radhika Vemula met Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy in Hyderabad and urged him to see to it that justice is done to the family. Reddy assured her that an investigation would be conducted again into the University of Hyderabad student's suicide in 2016 and that justice would be done. The chief minister assured that a fair and transparent investigation would be conducted further, Rohith Vemula's brother Raja Vemula said. Talking to reporters on Saturday evening at the University of Hyderabad, Rohith Vemula's mother Radhika Vemula took exception to the observation in the closure report that her son did not belong to the Scheduled Castes (SC). My son belongs to SC. I am a Dalit. How can police say that my son is not SC. Police don't enquire about caste (it is not their job). That is a false campaign, she had said. She also found fault with an argument that Rohith Vemula died because he did not excel in studies. Her son excelled in studies, she claimed. Telangana DGP Ravi Gupta has already announced to conduct further investigation into the case in view of the doubts expressed by Rohith Vemula's mother and others on the closure report.

Justice league: Telangana HC issues notices over breach of 50% quota ceiling
A division bench of the Telangana High Court, hearing a writ petition challenging the rise in reservations for Scheduled Tribes (ST) in education and government jobs on Tuesday, issued notices to key government officials. Perkampally Shyam Sundar Reddy and other Group 1 aspirants filed a writ petition questioning the legality of GO 33 issued by the principal secretary of the Tribal Welfare department on September 30, 2022, raising the reservations for STs from 6% to 10% in educational institutions and state government services. The petitioners argued that this increase breaches the upper ceiling limit of 50% for reservations to Scheduled Castes (SC), STs and Other Backward Classes (OBCs) as mandated under Articles 14, 15, and 16 of the Indian Constitution. They also contend that this move disregards previous rulings by the Supreme Court of India. The matter was adjourned to June 28. SBI told to ensure parity in punishment to staffers Justice Namavarapu Rajeshwar Rao of the Telangana High Court on Saturday highlighted the necessity of parity in punishments for co-delinquents, criticising the State Bank of India (SBI) for discrepancies in disciplinary actions against its branch managers. The verdict came in response to a petition filed by PTM Gopala Krishna, former Manager of SBI, Moula Ali branch, who was dismissed from service for his alleged involvement in the issuance of fake bank loan sanction letters for overseas education. Gopala Krishna, along with two other bank managers, was accused of orchestrating a scheme involving fraudulent loan sanction letters. Despite facing similar allegations, the disciplinary authority of the bank administered minor penalties such as a reduction in increments to the other two managers, while Gopala Krishna bore the brunt with the severe punishment of removal from service. The court rebuked the SBI for the discrepancy in punishments and urged a reconsideration of the severity of Krishnas penalty.

Solving cyber crime a Task for the force
BENGALURU : Majority of the cyber crime cases reported, conclude with closure reports, usually filed where there are not sufficient grounds to investigate, shortly after the victims bank accounts are blocked. Due to the trend of increasing complexity and limited manpower within the city police department, cyber fraud cases are not being prioritised, said a senior officer attached to cyber crime investigations said. The fraudsters are more dedicated in planning the crime than the whole investigation planning. Most of the time, cyber crime investigations are on the back foot when other obligations such as bandobast or election duty or dealing with law and order crimes take priority, the senior official highlighted. The official added that, unlike minor law and order incidents like chain snatching, which are addressed with utmost seriousness, not always is a specialized team working exclusively on the cyber crime. Given this trend, detection will remain unattainable even if the reporting percentage rises. In conventional crimes, even if the amount of money lost is not significant, the visual panic it creates is evident, unlike cybercrime, where apart from the victim, nobody else is visibly affected by the incident, a senior official highlighted, and further said that unlike in conventional crime, where investigating officers can often trace the accused using CCTV footage and other physical evidence, tracking down a cyber fraudster is nearly impossible, due to multiple IP addresses. Solving cyber crime cases often involves coordination between interstate law enforcement authorities, and once the accused is tracked down, it can solve more than 100 cases at a time as the fraudster uses thousands of SIM cards, multiple laptops, and phones, and tries different modus operandi on multiple victims. While increasing the number of police forces involved in cracking these cases is essential, banks and telecom companies must also ensure that online payments cannot be completed while someone is still on a call. This is necessary because these fraudsters often distract victims on calls, said the senior official. He added that an SMS alert or call should be triggered, whenever uses a different IP address to login, or makes payments at unusual times in case of net banking.

CJI DY Chandrachud calls for global efforts to combat juvenile cybercrimes
NEW DELHI : Chief Justice of India D Y Chandrachud on Saturday said juvenile justice systems must recognise its vulnerabilities and enhance international cooperation by sharing best practices to tackle growing digital crimes involving minors. The CJI made the observation in Nepal where he is on a three-day official visit at the invitation of Chief Justice of Nepal Bishwombhar Prasad Shrestha. Addressing a gathering at the National Symposium on Juvenile Justice in Nepal, Chief Justice Chandrachud said, When discussing juvenile justice, we have to recognise the vulnerabilities and unique needs of children embroiled in legal conflicts and ensure that our justice systems respond with empathy, rehabilitation, and opportunities for reintegration into society. He also pointed out that the children are often driven towards delinquent behaviour by complex societal challenges like economic disparities and social inequalities. Family breakdowns resulting from issues like domestic violence or poverty can leave children without the necessary guidance, making them more susceptible to negative influences, the CJI noted. Citing the momo challenge he said that it was a viral hoax that spread through social media platforms in 2019, targeting children and adolescents. This hoax purported a series of escalating dares, including self-harm or suicide, although it was later debunked. Its rapid dissemination highlights the susceptibility of juveniles to online dangers. There is a need for proactive measures to educate and safeguard young individuals in the digital age, emphasising digital literacy, responsible online behaviour, and effective parental guidance as crucial components in mitigating cyber-related risks, Chandrachud said. Highlighting that a holistic approach is needed and it was the need of the hour, the CJI said, the correlation between economic resources and juvenile delinquency needs to be addressed. The CJI also appreciated the efforts of the Supreme Court of Nepal, the Secretariat of the Central Child Justice Committee, and UNICEF Nepal for organising a symposium that not only fosters discourse but underscores a collective commitment to safeguarding the rights and well-being of children, who epitomise the future of innovation, growth, and humanity.

Imran Khan Alleges Bias from Chief Justice Isa against His Party
Imran Khan Alleges Bias from Chief Justice Isa against His Party Pakistan's jailed former prime minister Imran Khan has accused the country's Chief Justice Qazi Faiz Isa of being biased against his party and urged the judiciary to expedite the hearing of his cases, according to a media report. In a message to journalists from Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi where he is lodged, Khan, 71, called Justice Isa the ''B team'' of the current government led by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and said that the delay in his legal matters was unjust, The Express Tribune newspaper reported. I urge all judges presiding over my cases to expedite the hearings and refrain from unjustified delays, he said, adding that delaying the decisions was unjust. Referring to Chief Justice Isas statement about no pressure on him to make decisions, Khan said that the top judge of the country was acting as the second team of the current government. ''He stated that there is no pressure on him, but the pressure comes to those who refuse to indulge in wrongdoing. You are behaving like [the governments] B-team against the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Imran claimed. You snatched the electoral symbol from the PTI, denied a level-playing field, and violated our fundamental human rights in the guise of the May 9 incidents, on which our petition has been pending since May 25, 2023, without a hearing till today, he was quoted as saying in the report on Friday. The PTI founder stated that the PTIs petitions against rigging during the general elections had not been heard yet, adding that the issue of allocation of the reserved seats for women to the party was also pending. The Supreme Courts decisions have revived the doctrine of necessity once again. This is a historic opportunity for great nations to capitalise on historic moments, Khan emphasised. The February 8 general elections delivered a fractured mandate. Independent candidates a majority backed by Khan's PTI party won 93 seats in the 336-member National Assembly. Former three-time prime minister Nawaz Sharifs Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) won 75 seats while the Bilawal Zardari Bhutto-led Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) came third with 54 seats. The Muttahida Qaumi Movement Pakistan (MQM-P) won 17 seats. Khans party has maintained that the powerful establishment had favoured Sharifs PML-N and that the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) deliberately used a different form to declare the results to steal the mandate that belonged to it. He criticised that decisions were being coerced through threats, which was dismantling the countrys judicial system. The remarks of high court judges have proved that the law of the jungle prevails in the country. Its time for Supreme Court judges to stand up like high court judges and reject wrong decisions.

Legislative Mosaic Shapes Juvenile Justice Framework: Insights from CJI Chandrachud
Legislative Mosaic Shapes Juvenile Justice Framework: Insights from CJI Chandrachud Juvenile justice is not confined solely to the dictates of the Juvenile Justice Act but is shaped by the intricate interplay of various legislative acts, Chief Justice of India D Y Chandrachud has said, recalling how the apex court recently granted a 14-year-old rape survivor's request for termination of her 30-week pregnancy. The top court, on April 22, exercised its powers under Article 142 of the Constitution, which empowers it to pass any order necessary for doing complete justice in any case, while permitting the minor girl to undergo the termination of her 30-week pregnancy. Under the Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP) Act, the upper limit for aborting the foetus is 24 weeks for married women as well as those in special categories, including rape survivors and other vulnerable women, such as those differently-abled and minors. CJI Chandrachud, who is in Nepal on a three-day official visit at the invitation of Chief Justice of Nepal Bishwombhar Prasad Shrestha, on Saturday narrated the case of the minor girl while addressing a National Symposium on Juvenile Justice here. India has been making consistent efforts to evolve its juvenile justice system, he said. The implementation of various juvenile justice legislations for around four decades in India has led to the establishment of facilities, structures, and systems addressing children's needs within the protection system, he said. ''In fact, juvenile justice is not confined solely to the dictates of the Juvenile Justice Act but is rather shaped by the intricate interplay of various legislative acts,'' he said. ''A recent case brought before the Supreme Court of India exemplifies this: a 14-year-old sought permission to terminate her pregnancy under the Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act of 1971. Fearing repercussions and hindered by her innocence, she kept silent about the abuse she endured until she was well into her pregnancy,'' he said. Recognising the importance of safeguarding her mental and physical well-being, the apex court granted her request for termination. However, she ultimately decided against it, he noted. A critical challenge in the effective implementation of juvenile justice laws is the insufficient infrastructure and resources, especially in rural regions, the CJI said. Inadequate juvenile detention centres or rehabilitation homes may lead to overcrowding and substandard living conditions, hindering efforts to provide proper support and rehabilitation to juvenile offenders, he said. ''Moreover, limited access to essential services such as counselling, education, or vocational training further complicates the successful reintegration of juveniles into society,'' he added. He said the implementation of the juvenile justice laws needs to take social realities into account. ''A study titled 'Rights of Children: A Case Study of Child Beggars at Public Places in India' highlights the alarming reality that approximately 44,000 children are ensnared by criminal gangs in India every year. These children are coerced into engaging in begging, trafficking, smuggling, and other criminal activities,'' the CJI said. The implementation of juvenile justice laws should also consider the unique challenges faced by juveniles with disabilities. ''For instance, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime in its report (2020) documented the exploitation of visually impaired children in India, who were coerced into begging by criminal syndicates, exploiting both their disability and socio-economic circumstances. ''In light of such realities, it becomes imperative for juvenile justice systems to adopt tailored approaches that address the specific needs and vulnerabilities of these marginalised groups, ensuring their protection and rehabilitation,'' he added. At the same time, he said the changing nature of crimes, particularly with the increasing prevalence of digital crime, poses new challenges for juvenile justice systems globally. ''I emphasise that juvenile justice plays a crucial role in shaping a fair and equitable society through its focus on reformative measures. By placing the well-being of children at the forefront and offering access to rehabilitation and support services, juvenile justice systems help create an environment conducive to the overall growth and development of young offenders,'' he said. ''Quite often, we focus more on offences committed by juveniles than reflecting on their reformation,'' the CJI said. It thus becomes essential to acknowledge the complex nature of juvenile delinquency and take a comprehensive approach that addresses the underlying socio-economic factors contributing to such behaviour, he said. ''By investing in strategies that prevent, intervene, and rehabilitate, we can build a society that is more inclusive and provides every child with the opportunity to fulfil their potential,'' he added.
Rohith Vemula's Mother Seeks Justice from Telangana CM Revanth Reddy
Rohith Vemula's Mother Seeks Justice from Telangana CM Revanth Reddy Rohith Vemula's mother Radhika Vemula met Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy here on Saturday and urged him to see that ''justice'' is done to the family. Reddy assured her that an investigation would be conducted again into the University of Hyderabad student's suicide in 2016 and that justice would be done, an official release said. The chief minister assured that a fair and transparent investigation would be conducted further, Rohith Vemula's brother Raja Vemula told PTI Videos. He expressed confidence that justice would be done to them under the present Congress government. ''We have opposed the closure report submitted by the police. We also raised concerns regarding the issues they have mentioned in the report,'' he said, adding that the competent authority to clarify on the caste status is the district Collector of Guntur in neighbouring Andhra Pradesh and not the police,'' he said. Raja Vemula also said they sought cases filed against some other students to be cancelled. Police have filed a closure report before a local court in its probe into the death of Rohith Vemula, a student of the University of Hyderabad, claiming he was not a Dalit and died by suicide in 2016 as he feared that his ''real caste'' would be discovered. Telangana DGP Ravi Gupta has already announced to conduct further investigation into the case in view of the doubts expressed by Rohith Vemula's mother and others on the closure report. A petition will be filed in the court concerned requesting the Magistrate to permit further investigation into the case, he said in a statement on Friday night. The police gave a clean chit to the accused, including incumbent Haryana Governor Bandaru Dattatreya, former BJP MLC N Ramchander Rao, and cited lack of evidence in the case.

Collaborative Global Efforts Urged by CJI Chandrachud to Combat Juvenile Cybercrimes
Collaborative Global Efforts Urged by CJI Chandrachud to Combat Juvenile Cybercrimes Chief Justice of India D Y Chandrachud on Saturday said juvenile justice systems must adapt by enhancing international cooperation and sharing best practices to tackle growing transnational digital crimes involving minors, amidst the rapid evolution of technology. Chandrachud is here on a three-day official visit to Nepal at the invitation of Chief Justice of Nepal Bishwombhar Prasad Shrestha. Addressing a National Symposium on Juvenile Justice, Chief Justice Chandrachud said, ''When discussing juvenile justice, we have to recognise the vulnerabilities and unique needs of children embroiled in legal conflicts and ensure that our justice systems respond with empathy, rehabilitation, and opportunities for reintegration into society.'' It is crucial to grasp the multifaceted nature of juvenile justice and its intersections with various dimensions of the societies, he said. Chandrachud said with technology evolving rapidly, juveniles are diving into cybercrimes like hacking, cyberbullying, online fraud, and digital harassment. The anonymity and accessibility of digital platforms lower barriers to entry, luring young individuals into illicit activities. He cited the ''Momo Challenge'' as an example. The 'Momo Challenge' was a viral hoax that spread through social media platforms in 2019, targeting children and adolescents. This hoax purported a series of escalating dares, including self-harm or suicide, although it was later debunked. ''Its rapid dissemination highlights the susceptibility of juveniles to online dangers. There is a need for proactive measures to educate and safeguard young individuals in the digital age, emphasising digital literacy, responsible online behaviour, and effective parental guidance as crucial components in mitigating cyber-related risks,'' Chandrachud said. The juvenile justice systems, he said, ''must thus adapt by enhancing international cooperation mechanisms and sharing best practices to address the transnational nature of digital crimes involving juveniles''. ''This includes establishing protocols for extradition and repatriation, as well as facilitating information sharing and cooperation between law enforcement agencies,'' the Chief Justice said. At the domestic level, he said, specific training in child protection rules is essential to ensure that all stakeholders involved in the juvenile justice system have the necessary knowledge and skills to safeguard the rights and well-being of children. This training should encompass various aspects of child protection, including understanding child development, recognising signs of abuse or neglect, and familiarising oneself with relevant laws and procedures, he said. Moreover, training programs should incorporate principles of trauma-informed care, emphasising sensitivity and empathy towards juvenile offenders who may have experienced adverse experiences, he said. Chandrachud said, ''Quite often, we focus more on offences committed by juveniles than reflecting on their reformation. It thus becomes essential to acknowledge the complex nature of juvenile delinquency and take a comprehensive approach that addresses the underlying socio-economic factors contributing to such behaviour. ''By investing in strategies that prevent, intervene, and rehabilitate, we can build a society that is more inclusive and provides every child with the opportunity to fulfil their potential,'' the Chief Justice of India said while analysing the juvenile justice systems of India and Nepal. He also emphasised that juvenile justice plays a crucial role in shaping a fair and equitable society through its focus on reformative measures. By placing the well-being of children at the forefront and offering access to rehabilitation and support services, juvenile justice systems help create an environment conducive to the overall growth and development of young offenders, Chandrachud added.
