Director Parihar said, 'The film will be showcased from August 14 to 24.' Producer Sharma added, 'This selection will build confidence for telling our stories through filmmaking in Uttarakhand.'

Age verification likely in all criminal cases
Kochi: The state is considering a proposal to make age verification a mandatory step in all criminal investigations, regardless of whether there is any doubt about the accused's age. The suggestion, submitted by the directorate of prosecution to the state police chief, is currently under examination. Currently, age verification is carried out only when there is suspicion or dispute regarding the age of the accused. The proposed change seeks to avoid future miscarriages of justice by ensuring the correct legal process is followed for juveniles. The proposal follows a shocking revelation in July 2024: Two brothers had spent 13 years in prison for a crime they committed as juveniles. In 2010, the Thodupuzha sessions court sentenced the brothers and their parents to life imprisonment for the 2004 Palaniswamy murder in Idukki. The high court later upheld the verdict. However, it was later discovered that the brothers were 17 years, 11 months, and 11 days, and 17 years and 10 days old at the time of the crime—making them legally juveniles. A division bench of the high court ultimately ordered their release. Beyond this case, the state is under pressure to address bottlenecks in its criminal investigation system, highlighted by a recent HC directive. The court pointed to serious issues including delays in forensic reports, substandard crime scene documentation and lackadaisical investigations. A major concern is the backlog in forensic science laboratories (FSLs), which could take up to seven years to clear. The delays are largely due to a shortage of scientific staff. Although 90 new posts were recently approved, this is seen as inadequate. Financial limitations continue to stall further recruitment. Additionally, FSLs are overwhelmed by the volume of specimens sent in for testing—sometimes over 100 in a single case. Due to time and resource constraints, labs often prioritise only the most crucial reports needed for trial, which has, in some instances, led to failures in court. However, in high-profile cases—such as the Vismaya case, the Uthra murder and the rape and murder of a five-year-old girl in Aluva—out-of-turn processing has allowed for faster trials. The HC also criticised the practice of assigning crime scene sketching to village officers, who often lack forensic training. This can result in missed or undocumented evidence. Director general of prosecution T A Shaji suggested addressing this by training police officers in sketch preparation, assisted by village officers and amending legal procedures. He also noted that videotaping of crime scenes is increasingly being adopted, though many current appeals concern cases from before such practices were introduced.

Accreditation case: HC asks CBI for ‘suitable' nursing college list
Bhopal/Jabalpur: The MP high court has directed the CBI to furnish its reports on nursing colleges found fit to operate in the state, while hearing a PIL alleging irregularities in granting recognition. The central probe agency was also directed to share the reports with Vishal Baghel, who had filed a public interest litigation (PIL) in the HC pointing to gross irregularities in accreditation across the state. The court had ordered a CBI probe into credentials of all the nursing colleges of the state. The CBI had carried out the probe, and divided the colleges in three categories -- "suitable", "unsuitable"and those who can be allowed to operate if they make certain improvements in the college infrastructure. A bench of justices Atul Sreedharan and Anuradha Shukla asked the CBI to scan the reports of colleges found "suitable", and file reports. The CBI had told the HC that the reports run into lakhs of pages and it doesn't have manpower and resources to scan papers in such large numbers. The high court now asked the govt to help the CBI with resources and manpower to carry out the scanning work, and said the scanning work should be carried out under the CBI supervision.
