Dharmasthala police book web reporter for fake news
The Dharmasthala police have suo motu registered a case against Sudharshan Byalalu, a reporter of Kannada online news portal Hosakannada, for allegedly publishing fake news regarding the recent visit of an advocates' team to the office of Dakshina Kannada Superintendent of Police K. Arun regarding the case of a person claiming to have been forced to bury many bodies of murder and rape victims within the Dharmasthala village jurisdiction a decade ago. The police stated that Mr. Byalalu's report regarding Mr. Arun's absence from his office when the advocates visited on June 27 contained false information and was also presented in an alarming way. The police said that when they inquired, Mr. Byalalu told them that he did not have any information about whether the team of advocates had a prior appointment with the SP. The reporter was also not aware of the reason why the SP was not in his office on June 27, the police added. As it was evident that Mr. Byalalu had reported a false story, the Dharmasthala police registered a case against him for offences punishable under Sections 352 and 353(1)(b) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. Meanwhile, the Dhamasthala police on July 4 took permission from the court and registered a case after a person, who claimed to have buried bodies of several victims of rape and murder a decade ago, submitted a complaint to the SP on July 3. The complaint was registered under Section 211(a) (omission to give notice or information to a public servant by a person legally bound to give it) of the BNS. The police stated that the complainant had submitted two colour photocopies of the pictures of the skeleton and body parts, specifically informing them that he would produce the samples of the skeleton and body parts in court later.

Guntur Lok Adalat resolves 1,076 civil cases in a day, sets national benchmark
In a historic feat for the Indian judiciary, the Guntur District Lok Adalat has set a national record by resolving 1,076 civil cases in a single day during the National Lok Adalat held across Andhra Pradesh on Saturday. In addition to civil disputes, the Lok Adalat successfully disposed of 11,636 criminal cases, primarily involving compoundable offences under the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), including pending non-bailable warrant (NBW) cases dating back to 2015 and 2016. B. Sai Kalyan Chakravarthi, Chairman of the District Legal Services Authority and Principal District and Sessions Judge, attributed the district's exemplary performance to the robust mediation system adopted by the Lok Adalat. He noted that compensation totalling ₹51 crore was awarded to victims, largely from motor accident claims and civil settlements. A high-profile case involved the family of Dr. K. Sridhar, who died in a 2024 road accident near Piduguralla. Their ₹5 crore claim against Tata General Insurance was amicably settled at ₹1.4 crore. Two other cases fetched compensation of ₹1.1 crore and ₹70 lakh, respectively. Guntur now stands as a national model in legal dispute resolution, he said.
