'Pretty cooked': Ben Stokes after leading England to Epic Lord's triumph
The Indian government told the Supreme Court that it has limited options in the case of Nimisha Priya, a Kerala nurse on death row in Yemen. Scheduled to be executed on July 16, Nimisha is accused of murdering her abusive partner, a Yemeni national. Her family has offered ₹8.6 crore as blood money under Sharia law, but the government says it can only operate through private channels, as India has no diplomatic ties with Yemen, which is controlled by Houthi rebels. The Attorney General stated that going public could make matters worse. The Supreme Court has listed the next hearing for July 18, two days after the planned execution.#nimishapriya #yemenexecution #keralanurse #bloodmoney #indiayemencrisis #supremecourtindia #nimishapriyacase #toi #toibharat #bharat #trending #breakingnews #indianews

Cocaine Worth Over Rs 60 Crore Seized From Woman At Mumbai Airport, Arrested
Mumbai: The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI), Mumbai, has seized cocaine worth Rs 62.6 crore from an Indian woman at Mumbai International Airport, an official said on Monday. Specific intelligence developed by officers of DRI Mumbai indicated that one female Indian national, coming from Doha to Mumbai on July 14, would be smuggling narcotics into India. Acting on the intelligence, DRI Mumbai officers intercepted the female passenger upon her arrival at Mumbai Airport on Monday. A thorough examination of her baggage led to the recovery of six Oreo boxes and three chocolate boxes. On opening, all nine boxes were found to contain capsules filled with a white powdery substance purported to be cocaine. A total of 300 such capsules were recovered. All capsules were individually tested using the field test kit, which showed a positive result for cocaine. A total of 6261 grams of cocaine with an estimated value of Rs 62.6 crore in the illicit market, was recovered and seized under the provisions of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, 1985. In addition, the passenger was arrested. Further investigation is in progress. "The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) stands at the forefront of combating drug trafficking in India, playing a pivotal role in intercepting illicit narcotics, dismantling trafficking networks, and safeguarding national security," said an official statement. Earlier on July 8, the Airport Intelligence Unit (AIU) at Tiruchi International Airport seized 11.8 kilograms of high-grade hydroponic cannabis. The narcotics, valued at around Rs 12 crore in the illegal market, were found in the baggage of a passenger who had arrived from Bangkok via Kuala Lumpur. According to airport customs officials, the interception was based on specific intelligence inputs shared by the DRI. The AIU officials acted swiftly upon the arrival of the passenger and detained him for detailed screening and baggage inspection. During the search, officials discovered 28 neatly packed pouches of hydroponic cannabis -- an advanced, soil-free variety of marijuana grown using nutrient-rich water under controlled conditions, making it far more potent than conventional strains. The packets were ingeniously concealed within personal belongings to evade detection.

Private chat recorded by spouse admissible as evidence, says Supreme Court
NEW DELHI: on Monday held that a private conversation between spouses, secretly recorded by one of them, is admissible as evidence in a matrimonial dispute and would not amount to breach of . Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Enumerating Section 122 of the Evidence Act, a bench of Justices B V Nagarathna and Satish Chandra Sharma said it dealt with the rule of privilege protecting disclosure of all communications between husband and wife during marriage except in litigation between them. It said, "Under section 122, privileged communication between spouses is protected in the context of fostering intimate relationship. However, the exception under Section 122 has to be construed in light of right to a fair trial which is also an aspect of Article 21 of the Constitution." "When we weigh the respective rights of the parties in a trial within the parameters of Section 122 of the Evidence Act, we do not think that there is any breach of right to privacy in the instant case. In fact, Section 122 does not recognise such a right at all. On the other hand, the section carves out an exception to right to privacy between spouses, and therefore, cannot be applied horizontally at all," the bench said. In this regard, "we reiterate that as per procedure established by law, Section 122 does not touch upon the aspect of right to privacy as envisaged under Article 21 of the Constitution, let alone invade upon such right. The reason is because Section 122 recognises the right to a fair trial, right to produce relevant evidence and a right to prove one's case against a spouse so as to avail the relief sought for by a party," it said. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The section talks about communications during marriage and states that "no person who is or has been married, shall be compelled to disclose any communication made to him during marriage by any person to whom he is or has been married; nor shall he be permitted to disclose any such communication, unless the person who made it, or his representative in interest, consents, except in suits between married persons, or proceedings in which one married person is prosecuted for any crime committed against the other. " SC made the observations on man's plea to bring privileged communication as evidence before a family court in matrimonial dispute. SC also said, "Now, in today's day and age, when the technological advancement has made it easier to record and recreate moments of past and present for reference in future, then to say that such better forms of evidence and material would not be admissible on the ground of they being in violation of the right to privacy would amount to defeating the very object of the Evidence Act. That was the reason for Parliament to amend the Evidence Act by incorporating Section 65B which specifically deals with electronic evidence."
