Aaradhya Bachchan case: Delhi HC asks if Bachchan family name’s reputation ‘flows down generationally’

Published by Parlour News

In 2023, Aaradhya Bachchan, daughter of Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai, filed a case in the Delhi High Court alleging that “absolutely false” videos about her health and private life had been published on YouTube. A plea was filed seeking protection of her personality rights. On Thursday, the Delhi High Court raised several key legal questions that it will consider while hearing Aaradhya’s case. Abhishek Bachchan, Aaradhya Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan What Delhi High Court said in Aaradhya Bachchan’s case The case was initiated after multiple YouTube videos made baseless allegations about her health, including claims that she was seriously ill and had been hospitalised. During Thursday’s hearing, Justice Anup J Bhambhani observed that the value and reputation of a trademark were attached to a product or service, but the case was “somewhat contextually different when you are talking about a person.” Justice Bhambhani asked, “If a family name is akin to having a reputation attached to a trademark, how far down the generations does such reputation of family name inure?

Strait of Hormuz blocked, oil flows diverted: Is there a way out? | World News

Strait of Hormuz blocked, oil flows diverted: Is there a way out? | World News

Published by Parlour News

US and Iranian forces continued to exchange missile and drone assaults on Sunday after Washington attacked Tehran over an Iranian strike on a vessel in the Strait of Hormuz that set the vessel ablaze and forced the crew to abandon it. The Islamic Republic has announced that it has shut Hormuz after the renewed fighting in the region with Washington. A series of attacks between the two nations led US President Donald Trump to declare an end to the ceasefire signed in April to halt the fighting that began with the US-Israel joint attack on February 28. Regional retaliation and conflicting transit reports Iran has responded to US attacks by targeting several countries in the Gulf region, including Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, and Oman. However, reports have indicated that the Strait of Hormuz has remained open in the Omani “southern route” for two-way traffic, despite claims by Tehran’s military that the strategic waterway has been shut. Maritime monitoring body confirms route availability According to the Joint Maritime Information Center (JMIC), an organisation that the US Navy …

No IDs, no questions: acid flows freely in Delhi’s neighbourhood markets

Acid bottles for sale at a shop in New Delhi on Friday | Photo Credit: Sushil Kumar Verma At a stationery-cum-general store in south-west Delhi’s Palam Colony, when asked for the most effective and cheapest toilet cleaner, the shopkeeper sought a plastic bottle to pour the liquid into. “₹20 for 500 ml. If you need a stronger liquid, I can get it from a manufacturer based in Kapashera at a slightly higher price of ₹50 per litre,” he said . Ground visits by The Hindu across Delhi revealed that despite laws meant to regulate the sale of corrosive substances, acid remains easily accessible without ID proof or any inquiry into the purpose of purchase.

India to expand trade, strengthen investment flows with Israel: PM Modi

India to expand trade, strengthen investment flows with Israel: PM Modi

Published by Webster

India is committed to expanding trade, strengthening investment flows, and promoting joint infrastructure development with Israel and the Bilateral Investment Treaty signed last year will provide confidence and predictability to our businesses, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Wednesday.  During his historic address at the Israeli Parliament, Knesset — the first-ever by an Indian PM — Prime Minister Modi said that in the last few years, India has concluded a number of important trade agreements with other nations. “To your West, the European Union, and the UK. To your East, the UAE and Oman. Our bilateral goods trade (with Israel) has grown manifold in recent years. But, it does not reflect the full scope of opportunity. That is why our teams are working hard to negotiate an ambitious Free Trade Agreement. It will unlock the vast untapped potential in our trade relationship,” PM Modi noted. The Prime Minister further stated that they will also work closely in different formats such as the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor and the I2U2 framework between India, Israel, UAE and …

Uttar Pradesh draft roll out: EC power to verify citizenship flows from Constitution, poll panel tells Supreme Court | Legal News

Published by Parlour News

Asserting its right to verify citizenship status for the purpose of inclusion or exclusion from the electoral rolls, the Election Commission of India told the Supreme Court on Tuesday that the power flows “directly from the Constitution” and “The Citizenship Act, 1955, and the Foreigners Act, 1946, do not detract from the power of the ECI with respect to assessment of citizenship”. “It is evident that from its inception, the Constituent Assembly intended that authorities responsible for preparation of electoral rolls would enquire into citizenship and exclude those who were not citizens… the ECI was vested with plenary powers with respect to superintendence, direction and control over all elections, as well as the power to verify the status of citizenship under Article 324 read with Article 326,” said Senior Advocate Rakesh Dwivedi, who appeared for the poll panel. The EC cited a resolution moved by Jawaharlal Nehru in the Constituent Assembly on January 8, 1949, which, it said, “required… authorities concerned for preparation of electoral roll to ensure, inter alia, that no person shall be included… …

Where history once flowed in, it now flows out: Bengal’s Hakimpur sees rare reverse migration

Where history once flowed in, it now flows out: Bengal’s Hakimpur sees rare reverse migration

Published by Parlour News

Hakimpur , Along the muddy lane leading to the Hakimpur border outpost, once a passage for refugees in 1947 and again in 1971, waves of people had moved inward over decades, turning the village here into an improvised sanctuary for those escaping violence across the frontier. Where history once flowed in, it now flows out: Bengal’s Hakimpur sees rare reverse migration This November, elders of Hakimpur in West Bengal’s North 24 Parganas district bordering Bangladesh, say it feels as if history is replaying itself with the frames flipped. The movement looks familiar, only the direction has changed. Over the past few days, undocumented Bangladeshi nationals have been walking back toward the same border gate through which their parents and grandparents once came in. The reason, according to security officials, villagers and the migrants themselves, is clear: the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls underway across West Bengal. With enumerators conducting door-to-door verification, those living for years on borrowed papers, fake voter IDs or no documents at all know they will not pass the checks. Many …
