Kerala HC orders interim stay on proceedings against CM in Ernakulam CJM court
The Kerala High Court has ordered an interim stay for three months on further proceedings before the Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) Court, Ernakulam, in a petition filed by Ernakulam District Congress Committee (DCC) president Mohammed Shiyas, who sought action against Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan. In the petition, Mr. Shiyas sought action against Mr. Vijayan for making a speech 'abetting violence' while referring to agitating Youth Congress activists reportedly coming under attack, mainly from alleged Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) activists during the Nava Kerala Yatra led by Mr. Vijayan in November 2023. In his petition, Mr. Vijayan had sought a stay on all further proceedings before the CJM Court, pending disposal of the case. In its order issued on Thursday, a Single Bench of Justice V.G. Arun said that there appeared to be prima facie substance in the contention of the counsel of Mr. Vijayan that the CJM exceeded his jurisdiction by entertaining the complaint, since the alleged incident (of violence against the protesters) took place outside the territorial limits of the court. The contention that the contents of the speech does not attract the offence under Section 109 (that states the punishment for abetment) of the Indian Penal Code is also liable to be considered. Hence, the interim stay on further proceedings for three months in the petition that is pending before the CJM Court, the court added. The case has been posted for hearing on October 14.

Hina Khan Gets Angry, Reacts To Kashmir Sexual Assault Case: 'Do Not Justify Rape'
Published By : IANS Last Updated: Recently a nomadic woman was allegedly raped and murdered in the Nishat area of Srinagar. In light of the Nishat rape case in J&K, actress Hina Khan stressed the need to differentiate between rape and s*xual assault. Hina penned on her Instagram stories, 'Can someone for gods sake teach these Morons the Difference between s*xual assault and rape.. A Rape is a Rape. A Murder is a Murder. A S*xual Assault may differ in description but it's just the Precursor of Rape. It only means that the perpetrators COULD NOT do it rather than DID NOT do it. A Rapist blames everything else than Himself. Don't act like that Criminal. Don't use Alcohol to give the Criminal a 'Free Get Away Card'. Do not Justify Rape. Do not even Justify Sexual Assault. Not in the name of Religion, Community, Geography or Attire. These Demons Exist everywhere, in every community, every for Opportunity." Hina further asked everyone to stop blaming alcohol as the reason behind such crimes. 'Alcohol causes many things but it doesn't make a Good Man a Rapist! Stop Alcohol Blaming and Escapism. Good Men can Handle Alcohol just as they Handle Superior Physical Power compared to a Woman; they use it to Protect Women," the diva said. She added, 'I am not advocating consumption of alcohol…, but I don't appreciate people straight up blaming alcohol alone for this gruesome act." Hina also asked everyone to stop mincing words when talking about crimes committed by Kashmiri Muslims. Her note read, 'It's high time we call out what's happened without mincing words just because it's done by a Kashmiri Muslim and blame Alcohol for your so-called Agenda." For the unversed, recently a nomadic woman was allegedly raped and murdered in the Nishat area of Srinagar. If the sources are to be believed, four individuals have been arrested in the matter and produced before the CJM Court. The accused have been sent to six days' police custody for further probe.
