The Delhi High Court on Monday refused to entertain a plea seeking the registration of an FIR and a probe by an SIT or CBI into the purported discovery of huge stash of cash following a fire at the residence of former Delhi High Court judge Yashwant Varma. Terming the petition a "wild witch hunt", Justice Amit Bansal remarked that the petitioner, lawyer Ghanshyam Upadhyay, has alternative remedies in law. "I'm not entertaining this. This is a wild witch hunt. You have nothing better to do?" the judge observed. During the hearing, the court questioned the locus of the petitioner and asked why he did not approach the trial court with his plea for an FIR. The petitioner submitted that the incident was "extraordinary" in nature and the lower court "can't do justice to the matter". "This is regarding justice Yashwant Varma. Criminal law can be set into motion by anyone. There is no embargo," he further explained. After the court indicated that it would dismiss the plea, the petitioner

Most Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) buses remained off the roads on Saturday as drivers' strike over daily-wage hikes, medical facilities and overtime payment entered its fifth day. Despite assurances from the Delhi government, drivers continued their protest, causing inconvenience to daily commuters. Earlier, the DTC had directed its permanent drivers to be deployed to fill the manpower gap for the time being. However, with a large number of electric buses operated by private companies, the impact of the move has been limited and a large number of buses remained off the roads. Some drivers alleged that protesters were being "forced" to work through threats by the administration. They also claimed that a bus window was broken at the Bawana depot. "Government has tried to manage the situation by deploying DTC permanent drivers for the time being. But our numbers are much higher, so that will not have any impact. Some buses are on the roads but most of us are on strike. Windows of

The Supreme Court has refused to reconstitute a five-member high-powered committee set up to examine alleged police excesses against student protesters in Delhi, underlining that allegations against the panel were conjectures and preconceived notions. A bench comprising Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana said the committee has been constituted to assist it with the highest standards of fairness and transparency and with a dispassionate approach. The High-Powered Enquiry Committee (HPEC) is not created to espouse the causes of one or the other party before the court, the bench said in the order dated September 10 that was uploaded online on Tuesday. "We are not inclined to effect any alteration in the constitution of the Committee, particularly where the prayer for such reconstitution proceeds on nothing more than conjecture and preconceived notions, articulated even before the HPEC has embarked upon its enquiry," the bench said.

A Delhi court has dismissed the anticipatory bail plea of an accused in the Satya Niketan building collapse case, in which seven people died. Additional Sessions Judge Saurabh Partap Laler was hearing the pre-arrest bail plea filed by Shubham Tyagi, who was allegedly co-running a paying guest (PG) facility in the building that was reduced to rubble on September 6. The judge rejected the plea considering the totality of the circumstances -- the deaths in the incident, Tyagi's rent agreement for the second and third floors that was "suppressed" in the plea seeking the relief and the "contemporaneous and mirrored lease in favour of co-accused Sudhanshu, with each signing as witness on the other's deed". The court also noted that there was a "disclosure of a partnership in running PGs at Satya Niketan" and the need for further investigation into knowledge, consent and the financial or operational role of the applicant (Tyagi)".
