Court's notice to cops in case filed by Sameer Wankhede's sister against Nawab Malik
In retaliation, Malik launched a public campaign targeting Sameer Wankhede. He made personal allegations related to Wankhede's religion, marital life, and educational background. During the peak of the Malik-Wankhede row, Malik also made remarks about Yasmeen Wankhede, which led her to file the defamation and stalking complaint.The feud further intensified in October 2021 when Wankhede's NCB team arrested actor Shah Rukh Khan's son, Aryan Khan, in a high-profile drugs case. Malik criticised the investigation on social media, pointing out flaws in the case. Eventually, the NCB did not file a chargesheet against Aryan Khan.The directive was issued under Section 202 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC), which empowers the magistrate to order an investigation before proceeding with a complaint.Despite the court's order, the Amboli Police failed to submit the investigation report twice over the past six months. Advocate Ali Kaashif Khan Deshmukh, representing Yasmeen Wankhede, informed the court that the police had yet to file the required report, prompting the magistrate to issue a show-cause notice. The Amboli Police must now respond by July 28.- Ends

Panel of legal experts being consulted for law against sacrilege: Punjab FM
Asked whether the legislation will be brought in the two-day special session of the Punjab Assembly starting July 10, Cheema said, 'A panel of legal experts are being consulted over framing the law. We will take the opinion of LR (legal remembrancer) and the AG (Advocate General) office.' Cheema said Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann is serious about the sacrilege issue. The government is not in a hurry and will not bring such a law which will require subsequent amendments, the minister said. Chandigarh, Jul 7 (PTI) A panel of legal experts are being consulted for a law under which harsher punishment would be given for acts of 'sacrilege' against religious scriptures, Punjab Finance Minister Harpal Singh Cheema said Monday. 'The law will ensure that no person dares to indulge in sacrilege. Our work (on framing the legislation) is not finished yet. When the draft is completely ready, we will share,' he said while speaking to reporters after a cabinet meeting here. The council of ministers, led by Chief Minister Mann, held a meeting here. Asked whether the Bill is not ready yet, Cheema said, 'If need be, we will extend it (session) or convene another one after 10 days. We are not in a hurry.' He added that the Bill was under works. 'Earlier, SAD-BJP government framed a wrong bill and then the Congress regime framed the wrong one. We will not bring a law that requires repeated amendments,' he added. The minister said there are several other Bills, including concerning goods and services tax, that will be tabled in the upcoming assembly session. The AAP government was expected to table the law on 'sacrilege' against religious scriptures in the two-day special session of the Punjab Vidhan Sabha. On June 28, CM Mann had said that his government will bring a law for stricter punishment for sacrilege acts. He had announced the move after holding a meeting with representatives of the 'Sarb Dharam Beadbi Rokko Kanoon Morcha'. Mann had expressed concern over existing legal loopholes that allow individuals guilty of such unpardonable acts to walk free, calling it completely unwarranted and unacceptable. The CM had highlighted that while the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) provides clear provisions regarding religious places, it remains silent on holy 'granths'. Capital punishment could also be part of the law. It is not the first time that a law was being brought for stricter punishment for sacrilege. In 2016, the then SAD-BJP government brought in the IPC (Punjab Amendment) Bill, 2016 and CrPC (Punjab Amendment) Bill, 2016 recommending life sentence for sacrilege against Guru Granth Sahib. The Centre later returned the bill. In 2018, the then Amarinder Singh government had passed two Bills — the Indian Penal Code (Punjab Amendment) Bill, 2018, and the Code of Criminal Procedure (Punjab Amendment) Bill 2018, which stipulated a punishment of up to life imprisonment for injury, damage or sacrilege to Guru Granth Sahib, Bhagavad Gita, Quran and the Bible. However, the president did not give assent to these two Bills. PTI CHS SKY SKY This report is auto-generated from PTI news service. ThePrint holds no responsibility for its content.

HC dismisses ‘fake degree' plea against UP deputy CM Maurya
Prayagraj: The Allahabad high court on Monday dismissed a petition seeking registration of a criminal case against Uttar Pradesh deputy chief minister and senior BJP leader Keshav Prasad Maurya over allegations of submitting fake educational degrees while contesting elections and obtaining a petrol pump dealership. Rejecting the revision petition filed by one Diwakar Nath Tripathi, a BJP leader and social activist from Prayagraj, Justice Sanjay Kumar Singh said, "The complainant-revisionist is not a person deceived by Keshav Prasad Maurya (second respondent in the petition). He had no locus to move an application under section 156 (3) of CrPC seeking direction to register FIR regarding the alleged offence of cheating and forgery, which are not covered under section 39 (public to give information of certain offences) of CrPC. " "The wheels of criminal justice system cannot be permitted to be clogged by frivolous complaints where a complainant himself is not aggrieved or victim in any manner," the court added. Passing the order, the bench said: "The proceedings appear to be prima facie initiated maliciously by the revisionist with oblique motives and an intention to gain some advantage or settle his score." Tripathi had approached the HC after the additional chief judicial magistrate (ACJM) in Prayagraj dismissed his application in 2021 under section 156(3) of CrPC, which sought a police investigation into the alleged fake educational degrees of Maurya. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like An engineer reveals: One simple trick to get internet without a subscription Techno Mag Learn More Undo In her order Sept 4, 2021, the ACJM had found that no cognisable offence was made out against Maurya. Tripathi later challenged the ACJM's order before the high court. However, in Feb 2024, the court dismissed his revision on the ground of delay, noting that the petition was filed more than 300 days after the trial court's order. However, in Jan this year, the Supreme Court condoned the delay and directed the high court to consider the matter on the merits. Pursuant to the SC's directions, Tripathi again approached the Allahabad HC with a fresh revision petition taking the same allegations and grounds. The matter was admitted in Apr 2025, and judgment was reserved on May 23, 2025.
