The article published by the Economic Times quoting AIIMS cardiologist Dr.

The article published by the Economic Times quoting AIIMS cardiologist Dr. Ambuj Roy provides highly valuable preventive health insights. It rightly emphasizes the importance of adopting a disciplined lifestyle to reduce the risk of heart attacks.

The suggestions on diet, fitness, stress management, and regular medical check-ups are scientifically sound and align with well-established preventive cardiology practices. A balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and millets, along with complete avoidance of tobacco and alcohol, regular physical activity for at least 30 minutes daily, and regular monitoring of blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels are truly lifesaving habits.

However, while the article mentions an 80 percent reduction in risk, such a figure should be interpreted with caution. The percentage of risk reduction depends on various individual factors including age, heredity, existing medical conditions, and lifestyle consistency. Preventive health is not a one-time effort but a sustained discipline combining lifestyle, medical check-ups, and early treatment where necessary.

It is equally important to create widespread awareness about early warning symptoms of cardiac arrest and ensure timely medical intervention. Awareness and quick response can save countless lives.

In today’s fast-paced life, mental health and stress management play a major role in preventing heart diseases. Yoga, meditation, and a positive social environment contribute greatly to overall cardiovascular wellness.

Promoting preventive healthcare awareness across urban and rural India should be treated as a national priority. Every citizen must take responsibility for their own health through regular monitoring and healthy living.

Sonam Wangchuk Indulging in Activities ‘Prejudicial to National Security’: Leh Administration to Supreme Court

Sonam Wangchuk Indulging in Activities ‘Prejudicial to National Security’: Leh Administration to Supreme Court

In a significant development, the Leh Administration has informed the Supreme Court of India that renowned educationist, innovator, and environmental activist Sonam Wangchuk has allegedly been involved in activities “prejudicial to national security and public order.”

This assertion was made in an affidavit filed by the Leh District Magistrate in response to a plea by Wangchuk’s wife, Gitanjali Angmo, challenging his detention under the National Security Act (NSA), 1980.

According to the affidavit, the authorities contend that Wangchuk’s activism, protests, and public mobilization efforts in Ladakh have the potential to disturb public peace and harmony, influence local sentiments, and create unrest against administrative and national interests.

Wangchuk, known globally for his contributions to sustainable living, climate innovation, and education reform, has been advocating constitutional safeguards under the Sixth Schedule for Ladakh and protection of the fragile Himalayan ecosystem. His detention, however, has triggered widespread public concern and debate regarding the fine balance between national security and the fundamental right to peaceful expression.

Views of Dr. Anthony Raju, Advocate Supreme Court & Chairman, Indian National Human Rights Protection Council

Speaking on the matter, Hon’ble Dr. Anthony Raju, Advocate Supreme Court of India, and Chairman of the Indian National Human Rights Protection Council (INHRPC), emphasized the need for a balanced and lawful approach that protects both national security and citizens’ constitutional freedoms.

“National security is undeniably paramount. Every citizen must ensure that their actions, however well-intentioned, do not compromise the unity, integrity, or sovereignty of India,” said Dr. Raju. “However, invoking stringent laws like the National Security Act must be done with utmost caution and clear justification. The power to detain without trial should never become a tool to suppress peaceful voices or legitimate public concerns.”

He further added:

 “Democracy thrives when the government and citizens engage in dialogue. The case of Sonam Wangchuk reflects the need to balance the protection of national interests with the preservation of human rights and civil liberties. It is vital that justice is ensured through transparent legal processes, guided by the principles enshrined in our Constitution.”

Dr. Anthony Raju also urged all sections of society to maintain peace, respect for law, and faith in the judiciary, which stands as the ultimate guardian of both liberty and national integrity.

Inside Delhi High Court’s Amended Bail Application Rules

Inside Delhi High Court’s Amended Bail Application Rules

The Delhi Government has notified revised rules for bail applications under the Delhi High Court Rules & Orders (Vol. V, Chapter I, Part A(b), Rule 5) — effective 6th October 2025 — making it mandatory for every applicant to disclose prior criminal case involvement, including past bail applications before the High Court or the Supreme Court.

This major amendment aims to bring transparency, accountability, and integrity in the criminal justice system.

???? Key Highlights:

Every bail application must disclose details of previous criminal cases and their current status.

Disclosure of all previous bail applications (if filed earlier) is now compulsory.

Incomplete applications will no longer be returned; instead, they will be placed before the Bench for adjudication after necessary corrections.

???? Expert View: Dr. Anthony Raju, Advocate Supreme Court of India

> “This is a progressive and much-needed reform by the Delhi High Court. It strengthens judicial transparency and curbs the misuse of bail procedures. In sensitive cases like POCSO, sexual offences, and economic crimes, such disclosure ensures that habitual offenders or serial applicants do not exploit procedural gaps.

The move upholds the sanctity of justice while protecting the rights of genuine applicants seeking liberty. It is indeed a milestone toward ethical legal practice and responsible advocacy.”

False_implication_in_pocso_case.png
False implication in pocso case

False implication in pocso case
 
 
If falsely implicated in a Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) case in India, the accused has legal remedies to challenge the charges and seek compensation for malicious prosecution
. The POCSO Act itself includes provisions to penalize false complaints. 
 
Legal strategies for the accused
Gather evidence: Work with your legal counsel to collect strong evidence that proves your innocence, the falsehood of the complaint, or a malicious motive on the part of the complainant. This can include CCTV footage, digital records, witness testimonies, and expert medical reports.
Obtain the First Information Report (FIR): Get a copy of the FIR from the police to understand the specific allegations against you.
Seek bail: As many POCSO offenses are non-bailable, a court's discretion is necessary to grant bail. You can file a bail application and argue that the allegations lack merit.
Challenge the FIR: You can file a petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) with the High Court to have the false or frivolous case quashed.
File a counter-complaint: You can file a counter-FIR against the malicious accuser under Section 182 (false information) and Section 211 (false charge of an offense) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
Cross-examine witnesses: During the trial, your lawyer can firmly cross-examine the complainant and other witnesses to highlight any inconsistencies in their testimony.
Present your defense: The prosecution bears the burden of proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Your defense should focus on disproving their case and establishing your innocence. 
 
Reasons for false implication
False POCSO cases often arise from motives other than seeking justice. Common scenarios include: 
Marital and custody disputes: A false accusation can be used by one parent to gain an advantage in a divorce or child custody battle.
Personal enmity or grudges: False allegations can be lodged to defame, humiliate, or take revenge on another person.
Financial extortion: The threat of a serious POCSO charge can be used to demand money from the accused.
Property disputes: Accusations may be fabricated in an attempt to coerce a party into settling a land or property dispute. 
 
Penalties for false complaints
Section 22 of the POCSO Act addresses penalties for making a false complaint.
For malicious intent: If an adult makes a false complaint to humiliate, extort, or threaten someone, they can face imprisonment for up to six months and/or a fine.
False complaint against a child: An adult who knowingly makes a false complaint against a child can be punished with imprisonment for up to one year and/or a fine.
Protection for children: No punishment is imposed on a child who makes a false complaint or provides false information. 
 
Consequences for the falsely accused
A false accusation under POCSO can have severe consequences for the accused, even if they are ultimately acquitted. 
Immediate arrest: A complaint can lead to immediate arrest, subjecting the individual to incarceration.
Social stigma: The public perception of guilt in these cases can cause permanent social stigma, humiliation, and ostracization.
Mental trauma: The accused and their family suffer severe mental agony, trauma, and emotional distress.
Reputation damage: An individual's reputation and career can be irreparably damaged. 
 
Compensation for wrongful implication
Courts recognize the severe impact of false accusations and can order compensation for the wrongfully accused. 
Damages: Courts have awarded damages to compensate for illegal detention, mental agony, and loss of reputation.
Court action: Courts have ordered investigations and legal action under Section 22 of POCSO against those who file malicious false cases.
Existing laws: Section 211 of the IPC covers compensation for malicious prosecution, although further legislation may be needed to ensure fair disbursement.

Disclaimer
The information provided herein is for educational and awareness purposes only. It is not intended to promote, justify, or support any unlawful activity. Every case under the POCSO Act is unique and must be dealt with strictly in accordance with the law.

While false implications may occur in certain instances, it is the duty of the investigating agencies and courts to examine the evidence, protect the rights of children, and ensure justice. This content does not substitute for legal advice. For any case-specific guidance, please consult a qualified advocate.

Independent Application of Mind in Criminal Appeals – Supreme Court’s Powerful Reminder

Independent Application of Mind in Criminal Appeals – Supreme Court’s Powerful Reminder

The Hon’ble Supreme Court of India has emphatically reiterated that the High Courts, as the first appellate courts under Section 374(2) CrPC, bear a solemn duty to independently re-assess and re-appreciate the entire body of evidence – including medical evidence, statements of the victim, testimonies of witnesses, and the defence version.

While appellate judgments need not be unnecessarily lengthy, they must unmistakably reflect a proper application of judicial mind to crucial pieces of evidence. The Court has clarified that even though the High Court does not enjoy the advantage of observing witnesses directly, it is mandated to re-examine facts and evidence with judicial objectivity to ensure that the trial court’s conviction stands the test of fairness, legality, and justice.

Dr. Anthony Raju, Advocate Supreme Court, Leading Criminal Lawyer of India and Chairman of the Indian National Human Rights Protection Council, strongly endorses this judicial principle, stating:

“The role of the appellate courts is not a mere formality but a constitutional safeguard against miscarriage of justice. Independent application of mind is not an option – it is an obligation. Re-assessment of facts and evidence is the bedrock of criminal jurisprudence, ensuring that no conviction survives without scrutiny and that the rights of both the victim and the accused are equally protected.”

This pronouncement reinforces the doctrine that justice must not only be done but must manifestly be seen to be done, particularly in criminal cases where the life and liberty of individuals are at stake.

Allahabad High Court Stays NHRC-Directed EOW Inquiry into 558 Madrasas in Uttar Pradesh

Allahabad High Court Stays NHRC-Directed EOW Inquiry into 558 Madrasas in Uttar Pradesh

In a major development, the Allahabad High Court on September 22, 2025, stayed the operation of three orders passed by the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) between February and June 2025, which had directed the Economic Offences Wing (EOW), Lucknow to investigate alleged financial irregularities in 558 aided madrasas across Uttar Pradesh.

The Division Bench of Justice Saral Srivastava and Justice Amitabh Kumar Rai observed that the matter requires deeper judicial consideration and, until then, no coercive steps should be taken. The Court’s interim order has come as a significant relief to the Teachers Association Madaris Arabia, which had challenged the NHRC directives.


???? Views of Hon’ble Dr. Anthony Raju, Advocate Supreme Court & Chairman, All India Council of Human Rights, Liberties and Social Justice (AICHLS):
“The stay granted by the Allahabad High Court is not merely a technical relief—it is a powerful reminder that constitutional safeguards, minority rights, and principles of natural justice cannot be compromised under the garb of inquiry.

Education, particularly through institutions like madrasas, plays a vital role in uplifting marginalized sections and preserving cultural identity. Subjecting such institutions to sweeping probes without clear evidence of wrongdoing risks creating a perception of targeting and discrimination, which is inconsistent with the ideals of equality enshrined under Articles 14, 21, and 30 of the Constitution of India.

While transparency and accountability are indispensable in the management of public funds, every investigation must pass the test of fairness, proportionality, and due process of law. Any deviation can erode public trust in human rights institutions themselves.

This judicial intervention by the Allahabad High Court reaffirms that the rule of law is supreme and that oversight mechanisms must operate within the limits of legality and constitutional morality. It is now incumbent upon all stakeholders—government, commissions, and civil society—to ensure that educational and religious institutions are strengthened, not stigmatized, in the name of scrutiny.”
