The Delhi High Court on Wednesday granted four weeks to the National Investigation Agency (NIA) to respond to a reply filed by separatist leader Yasin Malik to its appeal seeking death penalty for him in a terror funding case, and listed the matter for hearing on April 22. As Malik, who was virtually appearing from Tihar jail where he is serving life sentence in the case, accused the agency of "wasting time" and causing him "trauma" by "taking dates" in the appeal filed in 2023, a bench of Justices Navin Chawla and Ravinder Dudeja said there was no urgency in the case. "There is no urgency. This is for enhancement of sentence. You are already on life sentence," the bench remarked. The court gave four weeks as "last opportunity" to the NIA to file its rejoinder. NIA counsel submitted that Mailk filed a lengthy reply to the agency's appeal, which even had content "not related" to the case, and the rejoinder was being vetted. He also objected to Malik's claim of NIA seeking repeated

Don't disclose sexual assault survivor's identity: Delhi HC to police

Name, parentage or address of a survivor of sexual assault should not be disclosed in any document or report filed in courts, the Delhi High Court has directed the city police.

Delhi HC dismisses plea against lowered NEET-PG cut-off for admissions

The Delhi High Court on Wednesday dismissed a public interest litigation against the lowering of qualifying cut-off marks in NEET PG -2025 for admission to postgraduate medical courses. The petitioner claimed that a low cut off would compromise the quality of medical professionals joining the specialization courses, endangering human lives. A bench of Chief Justice D K Upadhayay and Justice Tejas Karia, however, said the purpose of higher education was development of further skills and not to judge the quality of doctors. It also questioned the petitioner on the numbers of doctors required in the country and said it would let seats remain vacant. "Will it be in public interest to leave the seats vacant? No, we will not permit," remarked the bench. "The only argument we can gather is (that) lowering this cut off marks will send MBBS doctors with less competence to pursue their postgraduate. What is the purpose of granting higher education? Purpose is to make them more skilled in an
