The Supreme Court on Tuesday dismissed the Centre's appeal against an order that quashed a look out circular (LOC) issued to the former house help of late actor Sushant Singh Rajput. A bench of Justices B R Gavai and K V Viswanathan dismissed the appeal noting no one had appeared in the case when the matter came up for hearing. "We do not find any merit in the appeal," held the bench. An LOC is issued by investigating agencies to ensure the accused persons do not flee the country.

In a landmark verdict, the Supreme Court held that States are not empowered under the Constitution to take over all privately-owned resources for distribution to serve the "common good." The bench, however, stated that  States can stake claim over private properties in certain cases. The top court observed that all private properties are not material resources. Hence, these cannot be taken over by the State. The nine-judge bench delivered the judgment on the issue with an 8-1 majority.

"We are investigating the circumstances in totality depicted in the video and are unable to provide further information until such time that this investigation is complete."

Caste census will be developmental instrument that will shape the country's progress, says Rahul Gandhi

"I committed, on behalf of the Congress party in Parliament, that we will carry out a National Caste Census and demolish the artificial barrier of 50% reservation. Telangana is a model for the National Caste Census, and I am thankful to their leadership for doing a marvellous job in this process. We don’t want a bureaucratic Caste Census—that would be an insult to the people. We want the people of India to determine what questions should be asked. We want Dalits, OBCs, Adivasis and women to decide the nature of these questions. As a result, it won’t be just a caste census; it will be a political instrument, a developmental instrument that will shape the country’s progress," said Rahul Gandhi.
