Legal and Court Updates

The Delhi High Court recently denied bail to Umar Khalid, Sharjeel Imam and others linked to the 2020 riots case. The judges said that violent protests aren’t protected speech.

On the international front, a U.S. appeals court ruled that most of former President Trump’s tariffs were illegal. The ruling could shift how trade policies are made in the future and may lead to a Supreme Court showdown.

India is seeing heavy rain across the north again. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued a red alert for Punjab, Delhi‑NCR and parts of Uttar Pradesh after a low‑pressure system dumped massive rainfall. Some areas are dealing with floods, road closures and flight delays. If you’re traveling, keep an eye on local updates and avoid low‑lying routes.

In the east, another cyclonic system is brewing over the Bay of Bengal. Expect strong winds, rough seas and more rain for 13 states. Authorities are warning about urban flooding and landslides, especially in hilly regions like Uttarakhand where a cloudburst was reported in Chamoli.
