No clarity on hearing process of tribunals: SIR leaves voters in limbo in West Bengal

KOLKATA: Not a single applicant who has approached the appellate tribunal against deletion of SIR names nor their lawyers have any clarity about the process to be followed to get back in the voter list.Alok Basu, a resident of Haridevpur, had gone to Dr Shyama Prasad Mukherjee National Institute of Water and Sanitation of Joka for two consecutive days – Sunday and Monday – with the hope that the tribunal would hear his case on the ground that his last name was wrongly recorded as ‘Bose’, leading to the name being deleted. But there is no information about the hearing yet.

No clarity on hearing process of tribunals: SIR leaves voters in limbo

“I have contacted my BLO, he doesn’t know. Neighbors – several people – whose names have been omitted, are in touch on whether we are being called for hearing. We don’t know whether we will be heard or whether our fate will be based on the same absurd logic that got us removed in the first place,” Basu said.“They could have had some website where the hearing dates could have been listed,” said Raghunath Chakraborty, a lawyer who provides legal advice extensively to the removed voters in Howrah. Advocates like Chakraborty and advocate Saikat Thakurata are helping people from weaker economic backgrounds file appeals and representing them pro bono.While 16 tribunals have started functioning from Monday, according to Chief Justice Sujoy Paul’s letter to the Supreme Court on Monday, the removed electors and their lawyers are confused about how they will be called for hearing and where they can see the orders passed by these tribunals.During the April 6 hearing in the SC, CJI Surya Kant, referring to CJ Paul’s letter, said that a retired Chief Justice had raised the issue regarding the process of providing ‘personal hearing’ to the affected party.Calcutta High Court lawyer Firdous Sameem said, “There is no clarity on how the applicant will be called. Will it be a personal hearing or will the tribunal only go through the documents already submitted. Interestingly, what documents will be given to the tribunal is also now known to the applicant.”He has the experience of appearing for two candidates fielded by Congress and Aam Janata Unnayan Party (AJUP) namely Motab Shaikh from Farakka and Kechabuddin Shaikh from Kaliganj respectively.In Motab’s case, Sameem physically appeared at Bichar Bhawan, where documents were provided and Motab’s name was later restored, allowing him to stand as a candidate. Citing the Supreme Court order of September 8, 2025, former judge TS Sivaganam said that Aadhaar card can be accepted as a supporting document. Although it is not proof of citizenship, it is “one of the documents enumerated for the purpose of establishing the identity of a person”.Meanwhile, in Kechabuddin’s case, Sameem is given a conference call link and presents his client’s case. Kechabuddin was also present during the hearing. Ultimately, his name was also directed to be included as it was found that it was clear from the documents given that he is a permanent resident of village Haat Gobindpur, Nadia. Sameem suggested that there could be an online platform where the orders are uploaded as the lawyer had also cited Motab’s case as a priority in the petition filed in the Supreme Court on Monday. Even though a three-member panel comprising former CJ TS Sivagnanam, Justice Pradipta Roy and Justice Pranab Kumar Deb was constituted by CJ Sujoy Paul following the April 7 SC order to prepare the SOP, the removed electors are confused about how they will be called for hearing. Now all they have is an ‘Appeal Number’ which was sent via SMS to their registered mobile.

Trump hints at renewed US-Iran talks as Israel-Lebanon agree to direct talks

Trump hints at renewed US-Iran talks as Israel-Lebanon agree to direct talks

us President donald trump Said on Tuesday that new peace talks with Iran could resume “in the next two days”, even as Israel and Lebanon agreed to resume direct talks, marking parallel diplomatic movement on two major fronts in the Middle East conflict.The development comes after weekend talks in Islamabad failed, leading Washington to impose a blockade on Iranian ports. Despite the setback, signs of renewed engagement suggest that efforts to stabilize the region are still ongoing.Trump said that a new round of talks can be held in Pakistan with Tehran in the next two days.“You should really be there, because something could happen in the next two days, and we’re more than willing to go there,” he told The New York Post.His comments signaled that Iranian officials are seeking compromise even as tensions remain high after more than six weeks of conflict.Talks held in Islamabad over the weekend failed to make any breakthrough, raising doubts over the survival of the two-week ceasefire, which still has about a week left.The war, which began on February 28, has severely disrupted global energy flows, with Iran effectively closing the Strait of Hormuz, a vital route for oil and gas shipments.

Israel-Lebanon talks mark success

In a separate diplomatic development, Israel and Lebanon agreed to launch direct talks after talks in Washington.U.S. State Department spokesman Tommy Pigott said, “Participants had productive discussions on steps toward resuming direct negotiations between Israel and Lebanon.”“All parties agreed to commence direct talks at a mutually agreed time and place,” he said.Meeting, brokered by the Secretary of State marco rubioThe meeting lasted more than two hours and is being seen as a rare breakthrough between the two countries, which have been formally at war for decades.Lebanon was drawn into the wider conflict on March 2 after the Iran-backed group Hezbollah launched attacks on Israel in support of Tehran. Escalating tensions led to Israeli attacks and ground attacks, killing more than 2,000 and displacing more than a million.

PM Modi quotes Ambedkar to advocate reservation for women

New Delhi: On the occasion of BR Ambedkar’s birth anniversary on Tuesday, PM Narendra Modi said the proposed constitutional amendment related to the Nari Shakti Vandan Act (Women’s Reservation Act) is guided by the spirit of “equality and inclusivity”, which was emphasized in the Constitution drafted by him. “Our democracy will become stronger and vibrant if the 2029 Lok Sabha elections and various assembly elections in that year are held with full women’s reservation,” the PM said in a letter addressed to the women of the country ahead of a three-day special session of Parliament beginning on Thursday. “And for this, upcoming legislation should be passed in Parliament. Any further delay in this would be unfortunate and would be a grave injustice to the women of India,” Modi said. When women become active participants in policy and decision making, the journey towards a ‘Developed India’ will become stronger. He stressed that there can be no compromise on women’s participation while adding more strength to India’s development path. The PM said that because of this principle the law was passed in 2023 and this amendment is the need of the hour. He said that with the excellent performance of women in all fields, there has long been a broad consensus on enhancing their role in legislative bodies. She cited Sardar Patel’s efforts to reserve seats for women in the Ahmedabad Municipality and said India had given equal voting rights at the time of independence. Decades of efforts failed. She urged women to write letters to MPs to support the amendment ahead of the “historic” session, as India works towards a ‘developed India’ by 2047.

IPL 2026 | ‘It’s tough… we have to make changes’: Ajankya Rahane’s dressing room warning as KKR hit rock bottom cricket news

IPL 2026 | 'It's tough... we have to make changes': Ajankya Rahane's dressing room warning as KKR hit rock bottom

New Delhi: Disappointment on Kolkata Knight Riders captain Ajinkya RahaneOn Tuesday, his team suffered another defeat by losing to Chennai Super Kings by 32 runs in the IPL 2026 match at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. After the defeat, Rahane shook hands with the players, congratulated the CSK camp and then went straight to talk to the broadcasters.KKR have endured a tough season so far and are currently at the bottom of the standings.In five matches, they have not won a single match so far, lost four and one has drawn no result. With just one point and a net run rate of -1.383, KKR have significant chances in the coming games.“I think it’s tough at the moment. Yes, we’re not winning matches, it’s tough.” It’s important for all of us as a group to stay positive, keep your head high, keep your chin up, just focus on the moment,” Rahane said after the match.He said, “Yes, we have to sit in the dressing room, think about the combinations. We have to make any changes. Sometimes you support the players, the results are going in your favour, then it is fine. But if the results are not going in your favour, then you have to think about the combinations. But apart from that, I thought it is all about staying positive and keeping us alert.”After posting 192/5, CSK restricted KKR to 160/7, with Noor Ahmed returning impressive figures of 4-0-21-3.Rovman Powell (31 not out) and Ramandeep Singh (35) showed resistance by putting on a 63-run partnership, but it was not enough to prevent defeat.“No real pace off the bat. At all. I thought we backed off the ball really well.” 190 runs on this wicket was really good, especially they got 70 runs in the powerplay. After that, getting back to 190 was an amazing job by our bowling unit. I initially thought that with our batting, we would have scored just 36 or 37 runs in the powerplay. I thought that was really important. It was a bit challenging to hit the spinners in the middle stage, but apart from that, the wicket was really good. Rahane said, we needed a batsman who would bat deep and then take it to the end.For KKR, Karthik Tyagi took 2/35, while Sunil Narine returned figures of 4-0-21-1.“(On Tyagi) I think all the credit goes to him. I mean, he is bowling really hard in the nets. He is bowling really well and is a great talent. The pace at which he is bowling at the moment is amazing. So I am really happy for him. Game by game, he is improving his skills. (On his spinners) Yes, all the three spinners. I mean, if you look at CSK’s spinners too, they have Bowled really well. It was not easy for the batsmen to hit big sixes unless you bowled really well. it was easy. Otherwise, putting it back and then crossing was not an easy option for the batsmen. So I thought from both sides, the spinners bowled really well. “Like I said, we just have to keep our heads up and stay positive and have confidence.”KKR will next face Gujarat Titans on April 17 at the Narendra Modi Stadium.

10 lakh execution petitions pending in district courts. india news

10 lakh execution petitions pending in district courts

New Delhi: The Supreme Court has said that the over 10 lakh pending execution petitions in district courts, of which eight lakh are more than six months old, is “very appalling and disappointing”. It has asked the High Courts to set up a mechanism for their effective and speedy disposal. This is not enough to get a favorable decision in civil matters, especially property disputes. Most of the time, when the losing party fails to comply, the winning party has to approach the court again for implementation of the order by filing an execution petition. Noting that the crisis for the litigants starts when they get the decree in their favor as they are unable to get the fruits of it for years, a bench of Justice JB Pardiwala and Justice Pankaj Mithal is directing to dispose of the execution petitions within six months. After examining the data of pending cases, the bench said, “The situation as on date appears to be very appalling and dismal. We are saying this because till date there are 7,95,981 execution petitions pending across the country which are six months old.” However, the court appreciated the effort put in by the district judiciary in implementing its order as over 4.3 lakh execution petitions were decided in the last six months and around 7.7 lakh cases were disposed of in the last one year after its directions in March 2025. Pointing out that it had asked the high courts to evolve a mechanism for speedy disposal of execution petitions and to guide their district judiciaries, the court said that the high courts have not yet informed about the steps taken by them and directed them to file their response. “We wonder whether the High Courts have evolved some mechanism or provided some procedure as guidance to their respective district judiciaries for effective and speedy disposal of execution petitions. By the next date of hearing, October 7, each High Court will tell us… what kind of directions have been issued to the devolved machinery or to their respective district judicaturees,” the Supreme Court said. The top court initiated the exercise to streamline the hearing of execution petitions after it came to know of a litigant who had got a favorable judgment from the HC and SC in a property dispute in 2006. Although two decades had passed, the execution petition was still pending in the lower court. The Supreme Court had directed the executing court to ensure that vacant and peaceful possession of the suit property is handed over to the appellants as decree holders with the assistance of the police, if necessary.

She shared:“‘Do you sleep a lot?’ He said, ‘No…’ and then I asked him, ‘When was your last relationship?’ “He said that three years ago.”He further said:“So in my mind, it’s crazy to think that, which is why I feel so blindsided and backstabbed because I asked these questions and they turned out to be complete lies.”Leia also told what she did after this. She said she took precautions but did not go for medical examination. His exact words were:“[After] After finding out he had slept with multiple girls… I never got tested.
