On June 25, a single judge bench of Justice Manoj Jain also directed the platform to disclose details of the people behind the fake accounts. The matter is now listed for Sept 8.

"It seems that everything happened after innocuous acceptance of some request received by the minor victim and, according to the minor victim, various accounts were created using her identity, thereby constituting a clear and deliberate act of impersonation," the bench said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Finally, stating that irreparable harm may be caused to the petitioner if interim relief is not granted, the court restrained the defendants from uploading any further objectionable material containing actual or morphed images of the minor until the next date of hearing.

Delhi HC orders release of convict, says no prohibition on simultaneous furlough
New Delhi [India], June 28 (ANI): While directing the release of a jail inmate on furlough, the Delhi High Court has said that there is no complete prohibition concerning simultaneous furlough. The petitioner was not released despite a three-week furlough because his co-convict was already on furlough on medical grounds. Petitioner was granted furlough on June 6 for three weeks as per Delhi Prison Rules, 2018, subject to certain conditions passed by the concerned Prison Authority. Furlough refers to a temporary release of a prisoner from jail, granted for specific purposes, often to maintain family ties or address urgent personal matters. It is granted by the government authorities. A vacation bench of Justice Manoj Jain on Friday directed the authorities to release convict Ajit Singh on a three-week furlough after considering that his nephew is getting married on June 30 and he is required to attend the main function like Bhaat, etc. 'Admittedly, even if a co-convict is on furlough, there is no complete prohibition in simultaneous furlough to the other convict, though, ordinarily, such simultaneous furlough is not permissible. This is quite obvious from Delhi Prison Rule, 2018,' Justice Jain said in the order passed on June 27. The High court said that the co-convict on furlough is though not a family member of the petitioner but fact remains that since there is no complete prohibition to simultaneous furlough, keeping in mind the fact that the nephew of the petitioner is getting married and if the furlough is postponed, the objective behind seeking furlough would stand frustrated and nullified. 'And, therefore, in the view of the above, the present petition is disposed of with direction to release the petitioner on first spell of furlough for a period of three weeks from 29.06.2025, on his adhering to the other conditions as mentioned in the order dated 06.06.2025,' Justice Jain ordered. Advocate Shannu Baghel, counsel for the petitioner, submitted that the entire objective behind seeking furlough would stand frustrated if the petitioner is not permitted to join the marriage festivities. He also submitted that the petitioner, being a maternal uncle (Mama), is required to participate in some of the main functions, including the bhaa,t etc. (ANI)

Minor seeks permission from Delhi high court to terminate pregnancy after sexual assault, HC asks AIIMS for report
New Delhi: A 16-year-old minor victim of sexual assault sought the Delhi High Court 's nod on Friday to terminate her 26-week-old pregnancy. Taking note of her plight, HC asked for a report about the feasibility of carrying out the termination procedure from the All-India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) after it was informed that, on intimation of the police, the hospital set up a board on Friday itself. "Keeping in mind the urgency cited, the above medical board is directed to conduct the necessary medical examination and to give the requisite report. Let such report be transmitted to this Court in a sealed envelope on or before 30 June 2025, or the investigating officer of the case would be permitted to collect such sealed envelope, containing the report, from the concerned medical board," Justice Manoj Jain noted. You Can Also Check: Delhi AQI | Weather in Delhi | Bank Holidays in Delhi | Public Holidays in Delhi The girl, who was sexually assaulted twice, moved the court through her mother and informed her that she is currently at an approximate 26-week gestational period as per the latest ultrasound findings. Since the current gestational age is beyond the permissible limit of 24 weeks, the mother sought the intervention of the HC for termination of the pregnancy, claiming that the minor learnt only on 21 June 2025 that she was pregnant. Through their counsel, the mother-daughter duo said she wants to terminate the pregnancy arising out of the alleged sexual assault and sought that a medical board be constituted to submit its medical opinion in terms of Section 3(2)(b) of the Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act, 1971. The plea also sought a clear direction to the authorities to medically terminate such pregnancy as she is not willing to continue with it. It was also submitted that since the pregnancy is a direct consequence of sexual assault, the anguish caused by such pregnancy is required to be presumed as a grave injury to her mental health. Aware of the urgency of the situation, as the minor is a victim of sexual assault, the court asked AIIMS to immediately examine the victim and furnish a report so that it can take a call if she is fit to undergo the procedure. Last year, the HC, in a separate matter of a widow suffering from depression, recalled its nod for termination of the fetus after AIIMS, where the woman was medically examined, opined against it. In its report, AIIMS said as per the MTP Act, the provision of termination of pregnancies beyond 24 weeks is to be done for fetuses having significant abnormalities and "feticide in this case is neither justified nor ethical as the fetus is grossly normal.

Insurance Claims: What Happens If Both The Policyholder And Nominee Die?
Last Updated: If both the policyholder and nominee pass away, other legal heirs can file a claim. Legal heirs usually include close family members such as the spouse, children, or parents When taking out an insurance policy, most people name their spouse, children, or parents as nominees, with the natural intention for the claim amount to benefit their loved ones in the event of an untimely death. However, tragic situations sometimes arise where the nominee also passes away along with the policyholder. Many times, tragic road accidents and tragedies lead to this situation where families lose multiple members together. In such cases, how can the insurance money be claimed, and who gets the first right? According to the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI), if the policyholder and nominee die in the same accident, the insurance company can presume that the nominee died after the policyholder. In this case, the legal heirs of the nominee are considered eligible for the claim. While final decisions may vary depending on the insurer's terms and the specific policy, this principle generally applies. Legal Heirs Can Claim The Amount Insurance expert Manoj Jain explains that if both the policyholder and nominee die, other legal heirs can file a claim. Legal heirs typically include close relatives like the spouse, children, or parents. If a will exists, the individuals named in it can also claim the insurance amount. The Hindu Succession Act provides a detailed order of priority for such claims. Who Are Considered Legal Heirs? If No Close Relatives Exist If the policyholder has no heirs in Class 1 or Class 2, then extended family such as cousins from the father's or mother's side may claim the amount. If no legal heir is found, the insurance amount is transferred to the government. If The Policy Was Taken By A Woman For a female policyholder, her husband, sons, and daughters get first priority. If none of them are alive, the husband's family (parents, siblings, etc.) gets the next right. After them, her own parents come into consideration, followed by her father's and then mother's heirs. However, if the woman has left a will, that takes precedence. Documents Required To Claim Insurance In such emotionally and financially distressing times, knowing your legal rights and the correct claim process can offer some relief. If in doubt, consult a legal expert or financial advisor to guide you through the claim procedure.
