Elgar Parishad case: Court junks Navlakhas plea seeking to live in Delhi
In the order passed on August 1, judge C S Baviskar said Navlakha, ordered to stay in Mumbai as part of his bail condition, had ingeniously found the trick to file multiple applications seeking same reliefs.
The order copy became available on Tuesday.
In November 2024, the special court for National Investigation Agency cases had granted him permission to stay in Delhi for two months.
In his latest application, Navlakha relied on this order while seeking permission to live in Delhi again for 45 days.
'It is not at all expected. I recapitulate, the thing you shall not do directly, cannot do even indirectly," the court said in the order.
While rejecting the application, it was restraining itself from imposing cost on Navlakha, it added.
The earlier permission to live in Delhi for two months did not give him the license to claim the same liberty repeatedly, the court said.
The Bombay High Court, while granting Navlakha bail, had laid down that he shall remain in Mumbai considering the seriousness of the offences in this case, the special court said.
'The applicant/accused may show total disregard towards the expectations of the High Court in its order that he should reside within the territorial jurisdiction of the Court. However, the directions of the High Court are happily binding on this Court and this Court has to follow it scrupulously," the order said.
Navlakha (72), a permanent resident of Delhi, was arrested in the case in April 2020. He was granted bail in 2024.
The case relates to alleged inflammatory speeches made at the Elgar Parishad conclave held in Pune on December 31, 2017, which police claimed triggered violence the next day near the Koregaon-Bhima war memorial near Pune. Sixteen activists were arrested in the case. PTI SP KRK

Clintons Among Key Figures Facing Subpoenas In GOP-Led Epstein Inquiry
The Department of Justice has also been subpoenaed to produce records "related to" Epstein. The House Oversight Committee has issued subpoenas to several high-profile individuals as part of its ongoing investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, the Associated Press reported Tuesday. Among those subpoenaed for depositions are former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, as well as eight former senior officials from the Department of Justice. According to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, the subpoenas were issued to six former Attorneys General, Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder, Bill Barr, Merrick Garland, Jeff Sessions, and Alberto Gonzales, as well as former FBI Directors James Comey and Robert Mueller. The closed-door depositions are scheduled to take place between August and mid-October. The Department of Justice has also been subpoenaed to produce records 'related to" Epstein. The committee has requested the submission of 'full, complete, unredacted Epstein Files" by August 19, 2025. This latest development comes after the DoJ stated last month that it would not release any additional information related to the case and confirmed that no further individuals were expected to be charged. In a letter addressed to former President Clinton, Committee Chairman James Comer requested his appearance for a deposition on October 14, specifically regarding his past relationship with Epstein. 'By your own admission, you flew on Jeffrey Epstein's private plane four separate times in 2002 and 2003," Comer wrote. Clinton has previously denied ever visiting Epstein's private island, which has been linked to allegations of abuse. President Donald Trump has publicly challenged Clinton's statements, claiming, without providing evidence, that Clinton visited the island '28 times." In a 2019 statement, Clinton's spokesperson Angel Urena said the former president had no knowledge of Epstein's crimes and had not spoken to him in over a decade. The statement confirmed that Clinton flew on Epstein's private aircraft four times in 2002 and 2003, all for work related to the Clinton Foundation and in the company of foundation staff and Secret Service agents.

Amit Shah now India's longest-serving home minister
NEW DELHI: Amit Shah on Tuesday reached the career milestone of becoming the longest-serving home minister, drawing compliments from PM Narendra Modi for an even-studded spell marked by landmark decisions like abolition of special status of J&K, enactment of Citizenship (Amendment) Act, promulgation of Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita and a hammer blow to Maoist insurgency. Amit Shah, who has been home minister for 2,258 days, has overtaken BJP stalwart L K Advani, who had a run of 2,256 days in the politically crucial position. Govind Ballabh Pant, a Congess giant and former UP CM, had the third longest tenure as home minister. I nterestingly, Shah achieved the distinction on the the 6th anniversary of the scrapping of the special status for J&K - one of the foundational objectives of BJP. While addressing a meeting of NDA parliamentary group, the PM congratulated Shah, whose tenure as BJP chief was also impressive. Modi saying, "It is just the beginning", sparked curiosity among MPs. Parliamentary affairs minister Kiren Rijiju, however, clarified that Modi's reference was to BJP-led NDA's ongoing success. In his speech, Shah spoke about Operation Sindoor, calling it a symbol of India's resolute political will and firm response to attacks. Shiv Sena MP Naresh Mhaske said Modi commended Shah for uniting NDA partners. Shah, who served as Gujarat home minister under Modi's CM-ship, became the country's home minister on May 30 2019 and is serving. Apart from the home ministry, he is also the country's first cooperation minister.
