The Delhi High Court has dismissed a criminal appeal filed by a Delhi Police constable, upholding his conviction in a corruption case dating back to 1994. The court found no legal infirmity in the trial court’s findings that the accused had demanded and accepted illegal gratification.

A complaint was later lodged with the Anti-Corruption Branch, leading to a trap operation. During the raid, the accused was allegedly caught accepting the marked currency notes.

The Supreme Court set aside the conviction of multiple accused in a 2008 murder case from Assam, pointing to serious flaws in the investigation and gaps in evidence. The Court emphasized that defective investigation can lead to grave injustice, especially when innocent persons may be implicated.

Initially, 16 persons were charge-sheeted. The trial court convicted 12 of them under various provisions of the Indian Penal Code, including murder and attempt to murder. The High Court later upheld most of these convictions.

The Rajasthan High Court at Jaipur has put on hold the consumer proceedings initiated against actor Salman Khan in a case alleging misleading advertisement linked to a pan masala product. The order came during a hearing on a writ petition filed by the actor challenging earlier consumer forum directions.
