In a remarkable development, the Anti-Human Trafficking Unit (AHTU) under the Warangal Police Commissionerate has successfully rescued a nine-year-old boy who had been missing for an extensive eight-month period. The boy had fled from his home in March, following his mother’s remarriage to an individual from Andhra Pradesh.
The AHTU located the boy begging in Vijayawada and subsequently brought him back to Warangal. In a heartwarming reunion, the boy was handed over to his maternal grandmother by the diligent efforts of P Venkatram, Inspector of AHTU, and Constables S Bhagyalakshmi and Srinivas, all under the watchful eye of ACP B Kishan. This emotional reunion took place on Friday.
The AHTU team’s commendable efforts in rescuing the missing boy have been recognized and praised by Warangal Police Commissioner Ambar Kishore Jha. This rescue marks a significant success in the fight against human trafficking and the safe return of a young child to his family.
In a significant development, the Chief Justice of India (CJI), DY Chandrachud, has issued a plea to lawyers, urging them to refrain from requesting postponements for new cases. The CJI expressed his concerns about the Supreme Court becoming a ‘tarikh-pe-tarikh’ court, characterized by endless case postponements.
During the commencement of today’s proceedings, CJI Chandrachud highlighted the frequent adjournment requests made by lawyers for fresh cases. He disclosed that in the past two months alone, advocates had sought adjournments in a staggering 3,688 cases.
Presiding over the bench alongside Justices J B Pardiwala and Manoj Misra, the CJI emphasized the need for lawyers to use their discretion when considering adjournment requests. He stated, “I don’t want this court to become a ‘tarikh-pe-tarikh’ court,” making reference to a famous Bollywood dialogue from the movie “Damini,” where the culture of repeated adjournments in courts was lamented by the actor Sunny Deol.
The CJI acknowledged the significant reduction in the time between filing fresh cases and their listing in the Supreme Court, a development made possible through collaboration with lawyers’ associations. However, he expressed disappointment that even after cases were listed, lawyers continued to seek adjournments, which he believed sent a negative message to the public.
CJI Chandrachud said, “I have observed a reduction in the time from filing to listing. This achievement would not have been possible without the support of the SCBA (Supreme Court Bar Association) and the SCAORA (Supreme Court Advocates-on Record Association).”
The CJI highlighted that on November 3, there were 178 adjournment requests, and on miscellaneous days since October, there were 150 adjournment requests daily. In total, from September to October, 3,688 adjournment requests were made, a trend that, in his view, defeats the very purpose of expediting cases.
This call from the Chief Justice of India represents a critical effort to ensure that the justice system operates efficiently and does not succumb to the delays caused by repeated adjournments.

Corruption Scandal Unveils Trust Crisis in Law Enforcement.
In a significant development, Enforcement Directorate (ED) officer, Nava Kishore Meena, and his junior assistant, Babulal Meena, were apprehended for allegedly accepting a bribe of Rs 15 lakh in connection with a chit-fund case. The incident took place in Mundawar, Khairthal-Tizara district, with ACB investigators capturing both suspects red-handed.
Nava Kishore Meena, originally from Imphal, had reportedly demanded a bribe of Rs.17 lakh to settle the chit-fund case and prevent the arrest of the accused. Additional Director General Hemant Priyadarshi provided these details.
The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) is currently conducting searches at Meena’s residence and other locations to gather additional information about the case. Babulal Meena, the junior assistant, is known to serve in the state services at Mundawar.
A case has been registered against both individuals under the Prevention of Corruption Act.
Additionally, Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot made a notable statement on his new Twitter handle, Ashok Gehlot-JanNayak, stating, “Chowkidar chor ke bad pesh hai Tiddi Dal Ghooskhor!” This comment is seen as a reference to the ED and a shift from allegations of a “watchman” being a thief to a “corrupt locust.”

His acts of generosity and advocacy aimed to provide relief and promote health and safety within the community.
In the recent days, there had been a tragic occurrence in Bansar village in Purnia, where three individuals lost their lives. To address this unfortunate situation and offer support to the affected families, Jaap Supreme, also known as Shri Rajesh Ranjan or Pappu Yadav, took a compassionate step by visiting the homes of the deceased. During his visit, he expressed his heartfelt condolences and solidarity with the grieving families.
In addition to offering his condolences, Jaap Supreme provided tangible assistance by offering financial support. Each of the families who had lost a loved one received 10,000 rupees in financial aid. This support was intended to help ease the financial burden that often accompanies such tragic circumstances and to provide some relief during this difficult time.
Furthermore, Jaap Supreme used this opportunity to raise awareness and advocate for the importance of prevention as a means of ensuring safety. He emphasized the need for individuals to be cautious and take preventive measures against mosquito-borne diseases, as mosquitoes are often carriers of such illnesses. This message aimed to educate and empower the community to protect themselves and their loved ones from diseases like dengue.
Additionally, in a separate but related act of kindness, Jaap Supreme extended financial support of 5,000 rupees to another individual who was suffering from dengue. This financial aid was intended to assist the dengue patient in obtaining the necessary medical treatment and care.
In response to the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) decision to nominate legislator T. Raja Singh, who had previously faced suspension, as their candidate for the Goshamahal Assembly constituency, members of civil society are rallying to encourage the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) to put forward a formidable contender.
These civil society advocates stress the critical importance of safeguarding the city’s secular ethos and putting an end to divisive hate speeches. They emphasize that the BRS should not condone objectionable statements, particularly those made by Mr. Singh against Prophet Muhammad, which resulted in his arrest under the Preventive Detention Act. Their call is clear: a resolute stance against all forms of hate speech is essential.
Khalida Parveen, founder of Amoomat Society and a prominent philanthropist, has made a heartfelt appeal to Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao and ministers K. T. Rama Rao and T. Harish Rao, urging them to nominate a “strong candidate” for the Goshamahal constituency. She underscores that Raja Singh has been persistently making inflammatory remarks, and given the BRS’s commitment to Telangana as a secular state, they should uphold this pledge by fielding a robust candidate in Goshamahal.
S. Q. Masood, an office-bearer of ASEEM, an advocacy group, believes that the BRS must dispel any perceptions of an alliance with the BJP. He views this as an opportunity for the BRS and KTR to contest a communal candidate in the Goshamahal constituency, expressing concerns about any efforts that could disrupt communal harmony in Hyderabad and urging their prevention.
