The fighting has stopped between Israel and Iran. Families of hostages now hope for a deal in Gaza
OR AKIVA, Israel (AP) — Liran Berman hasn't had much to keep hopeful over the 629 days of his twin brothers' captivity in Gaza. Ceasefire deals have collapsed, the war has dragged on, and his siblings remain hostages in the Palestinian enclave. But the war between Israel and Iran, and the U.S.-brokered ceasefire that halted 12 days of fighting, have sparked fresh hope that his brothers, Gali and Ziv, may finally return home.

Relief for Gali: HC suspends conviction, grants him bail in illegal mining case
Hyderabad: Telangana high court Wednesday suspended both the conviction and sentence of Karnataka former minister and mining baron Gali Janardhan Reddy in an illegal mining case while also giving him bail, an order that would save Gali's position as an MLA. Following the conviction and seven-year sentence imposed by a special CBI court, Gali stood disqualified as an MLA and the election authorities would have held a bypoll soon for his seat (Gangavathi). Agreeing with the arguments of the legislator's lawyer, senior counsel S Nagamuthun, that damages from the conviction were irreversible, Justice K Lakshman also ordered his release from jail with certain conditions. Gali was told not to leave the country or commit unlawful acts anywhere and to furnish two sureties worth Rs 10 lakh. He has already served half of the seven-year sentence while being a remand prisoner. Along with Gali, three other individuals – BV Srinivas Reddy (Obulapuram Mining Company MD), VD Rajagopal (former director, AP mines and geology department) and Mehfuz Ali Khan (PA to Gali) – and one entity, the company OMC, were convicted by the special CBI court last month. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Amazon's Hottest Selling Hearing Aid Is Back On Sale Oricle Hearing Aid Learn More Undo On Tuesday, apart from Gali, Justice Lakshman stayed the conviction of the entity OMC. The judge also granted bail to the other three with the same conditions. The criminal appeals of these three against their conviction will be heard on Aug 11. Srilakshmi issue to be heard on June 19 The judge also sought a counter from the CBI in the criminal revision plea filed by senior IAS officer and former AP industries secretary Y Srilakshmi and posted her case to June 19. The HC had earlier discharged her from the case but the CBI had appealed in the Supreme Court, which directed the HC to hear the CBI version also before arriving at a conclusion. On Tuesday, senior counsel P Venugopal, appearing for Srilakshmi, said she has an apprehension about Justice Lakshman hearing her revision plea in view of last year's judgment delivered by him where he had refused to quash the case against her. When CBI counsel Srinivas Kapatia sought a week's time to file their counter, the judge reminded him that the CBI could not dodge filing a counter now, saying, "You complained to the apex court about the HC not hearing your version. But here you have not filed your counter despite a three-month deadline fixed by the Supreme Court asking the HC to decide the issue." Srilakshmi had succeeded Kripanandam as industries secretary. The special court, while convicting Gali and the others, had acquitted Kripanandam as well as then industry minister Sabitha Indra Reddy in the illegal mining case.

Obulapuram mining case: Appeals challenging CBI court order admitted
Hyderabad: The Telangana High Court single bench of Justice Kunuru Lakshman on Monday admitted criminal appeals filed by Gali Janardhan Reddy and other accused in the Obulapuram Mining Case. He 'reserved' orders on the interim applications filed by the petitioners seeking 'bail'. All the accused – Janardhan Reddy, BV Srinivasa Reddy, V D Rajagopal, IAS (retd), K Mehafus Ali Khan – had filed applications in the main writ appeals, seeking 'bail' by suspending the CBI court order dated May 6 this year. The senior counsel appearing for Gali informed the court that consequent upon the CBI Court had convicting him and other accused to seven years' imprisonment and a fine of each Rs. 10,000. (The Karnataka Assembly by way of a notification dated May 8 withdrew Gali's membership). He pleaded before the judge to hear the application seeking suspension of the conviction order at an early date on the ground that the Election Commission will issue a notification for holding election to the constituency held by Gali. Justice Lakshman agreed to hear the application. All the accused had moved the vacation court in May seeking similar reliefs. However, the court declined to hear the appeals stating there was no urgency. The court adjourned the appeals for further adjudication to August.
