HCs can't entertain factual inquiry: SC
The Supreme Court has stated that a high court, while exercising jurisdiction under Article 199 of the Constitution, cannot entertain matters requiring factual inquiry. "It is the prerogative and privilege of the trial court to examine such controversies so as to be disposed of on merit after taking into consideration the evidence led by the parties," said a five-page verdict authored by Justice Shakeel Ahmad. Justice Ahmed was part of a three-member bench — led by Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Yahya Afridi — which heard pleas filed against an order of the Balochistan High Court (BHC) with regard to partial payment of the security amount paid by a contractor who built the BHC building in 1986. The Government of Balochistan's Construction and Works (C&W) Department had blacklisted the contractor in July 1991 on account of unsatisfactory performance and forfeited his security. The contractor filed a suit in a trial court which issued a judgment and a decree on May 4, 2006. However, due to failure on the part of the C & W department to release the security amount to him, he filed an application before the executing court for implementation of judgment of the trial court. The executing court dismissed the execution application on May 20, 2009, declaring that there is no mention of release of the security amount in favour of the contractor in the trial court order. The contractor filed a civil miscellaneous appeal to the BHC, which converted the appeal into a constitution petition and issued notice to the C&W department, directing it to submit details of the amount allegedly paid to the contractor. After making factual inquiry in this regard, the court on September 7, 2017 partly allowed the petition, directing the C&W Department to pay Rs20,12,668 to the legal heirs of the contractor — who had died by then — out of security amount within a period of thirty days. The legal heirs of the contractor were of the view that they were entitled to the total security amount — Rs68,67,668. Hence, they filed a civil petition in the Supreme Court. The C&W department was also unhappy with the BHC judgment and also filed a civil petition. The SC in its verdict noted that clause set out in the plaint reflected that the petitioner had not made any prayer for release of security amount. The C&W department also objected to the BHC order for release of the security amount, stating that it had already released the security to the contractor. It noted that the high court decided to get the matter examined by summoning official records and carrying out a full-fledged inquiry in presence of the parties. It said this exercise could not have been done in writ jurisdiction. "The scope and ambit of the proceedings before the high court, in the instant case, was limited to the extent of judgment and decree of the trial court and the order dated May 20, 2009, passed by the executing court, dismissing the execution application on the ground that the claim for recovery of the security amount mentioned in execution application was not decreed in favour of the contractor. "The high court has not attended to any of the above stated prayers and the judgment and decree passed by the trial court, and order of the executing court, and proceeded to decide the case after making a detailed inquiry. "Thus, in our view, the high court exceeded in its authority by passing the impugned judgment, calling for interference. In our view, the factual controversy raised by the parties can only be resolved after recording pro and contra evidence through a civil suit," it added. "[Therefore] the BHC judgment is set aside. The civil petition filed by the legal heirs of the contractor, seeking release of remaining security amount is dismissed and leave refused. "[The petitioners may] seek relief from the appropriate forum, if so advised, subject to all just and legal objections from the other side. No order as to costs," the order said.

Social Security Full Retirement Age Is Rising — 4 Things To Do Now If You Plan To Retire in 2026
The full retirement age (FRA) — that is, the age when you can collect your full monthly Social Security benefit — used to be 65 for most people. Now, if you were born in 1960 or later, the FRA is 67. Read More: Find Out: This isn't exactly a new change, but if you plan to retire next year and fall a little short of the full retirement age, your Social Security benefit will likely be smaller than anticipated. Even retiring just one year early — at the age of 66 — would decrease your benefit amount by 6.7%. Retire at 65, and your benefit drops by 13.3%. So, what can you do if you're planning to retire next year to set yourself up for success? Here are a few options. Depending on when in 2026 you plan to retire, you have anywhere from about six months to 18 months to figure out how you'll handle a potentially reduced benefit (assuming you're retiring before the full retirement age). If you don't want to wait, Ryan Monette, CFP and member-owner at Savant Wealth Management, suggested doing two things right now: Building your cash reserves now Focus on growing your investment portfolio How you go about doing this is up to you. For example, you could take on a side gig to increase cash flow. According to Forbes, the average side hustle brings in about $12,689 annually — or $1,057 a month. Depending on your retirement timeline, that's between $6,342 and $19,026 of extra money potentially coming in. Of course, you could also pad your investments using this extra cash. It might not fully cover what you need, but it can help if you're planning to wait to collect Social Security until the FRA. Discover Next: The further away you are from full retirement age, the smaller your overall benefit will be. But if you're dead-set on retiring — and you're not 67 — consider delaying your benefits. 'Delaying Social Security could have a significant long-term positive impact on the total Social Security benefits received over a lifetime,' said Monette. 'This is because the monthly benefit will be larger, and the larger monthly benefit will receive cost-of-living adjustments, which means more dollars for the recipient.' If you can, find a way to live on your cash reserves and investments until you reach the full retirement age. After that, you can start collecting Social Security without the reduction. Did you know that you can voluntarily suspend your Social Security benefits? You'll need to have reached the full retirement age, but still be under 70 years old. If you meet these criteria, you can earn 'delayed retirement credits' for the months you've suspended yours. 'Voluntarily suspending Social Security will create a larger benefit in the future because delayed benefits earn 2/3 of 1% per month, or an 8% increase for every 12 months delayed from FRA to age 70,' said Monette. You'll have to start collecting once you turn 70. If you're a business owner with an S Corp, now's a good time to look into how you've structured yours. In particular, try to find a balance between the business income and the wages you earn. 'Wages pay FICA taxes, and the amount of FICA taxes impacts your future Social Security retirement benefits,' said Monette. 'The greater the wages you earn up to a point translates into greater Social Security received in the future.' Speak with your accountant — if you've got one — about your options.

Behind the 6-7 Trend — The Viral Song It Came From & Why Your Tween Loves To Say It on Repeat
If you feel like you're always behind the eight ball when it comes to keeping up with and understanding your t(w)een's latest slang, chances are you're currently feeling like you're behind the, ahem, 'six seven' ball. (Boo! Terrible Dad Joke, I know.) One of the latest phrases used by teens — like 'Italian brainrot' and 'aura farming' — is 'six seven' or, as it's sometimes written, '6-7.' And no, that's not a math problem that tweens are referencing when they chant the numbers on repeat. More from SheKnows All About Taylor Frankie Paul's Ex-Husband, Their Split & His Life After Their 'Swinging' Scandal The 'six seven' trend has everything to do with the song 'Doot Doot (6 7)' by Skrilla. The rap has become a popular audio in TikTok videos and Instagram Reels because of the lyric '6-7,' which could be referencing 67th Street in Chicago and Skrilla's background. Saying 'six seven' became especially trendy after videos of NBA player LaMelo Ball with 'Doot Doot' playing over it started going viral. Why Ball, you ask? Because the Charlotte Hornets player is (you guessed it!) 6′ 7.' Videos with people saying 'six seven' (intentionally or otherwise) also get hit with an edit, and other basketball players are even getting in on the joke. Between the catchy song, the sporty connection, and the funny edits, it's no wonder the meme has exploded the way it has. The phrase has been spreading like wildfire over social media and among t(w)eens. If their phone is at 67 percent, you know what they are thinking, and if they get a 67 on a test, at least they have an excuse to say 'six seven!' Speaking of tests, the phrase has even infiltrated classrooms. One middle school teacher hilariously explained on TikTok how his students find ways to say it constantly. Another teacher joked that she would be 'taking a vow of silence' after she mistakenly got involved. 'My 7th graders just asked me to add 43 + 24,' she wrote over a video where she looked beyond annoyed. 'I fell for it.' Because as soon as that teacher said 67, she must have been met with a chorus of 'six seven!' And to the people on TikTok who are wondering, 'Am I officially old if I don't understand it?' No, you're only officially old once you turn (say it with me!) 67. Before you go, check out these celebrity kiddos who .
