Delhi HC to hear plea seeking govt assistance amid IndiGo crisis on Dec 10

The Delhi High Court on Monday listed for hearing on December 10 a plea seeking directions to the Centre to provide support and refunds to passengers affected by the cancellation of hundreds of flights by IndiGo. The petition was mentioned for urgent hearing before a bench of Chief Justice Devendra Kumar Upadhyaya and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela. The counsel for the petitioner said they have filed a PIL on the IndiGo crisis issue. "Several people are stuck. The ground situation at airports is inhumane. We are expecting the court to pass orders to IndiGo and ground support staff for people stranded at the airports. There is no proper system for refunds," he said. When the court pointed out that the government has already passed some directions in the matter, the counsel responded in the affirmative. The bench said the PIL will be listed for hearing on Wednesday. Over 250 IndiGo flights were cancelled from Delhi and Bengaluru airports on Monday as the disruptions in the crisis-hit ..

HC dismisses petitions filed by Bajrang, Vinesh challenging WFI elections

The Delhi High Court has dismissed petitions filed by top wrestlers Bajrang Punia, Sakshi Malik, Vinesh Phogat and Satyawart Kadian challenging the Wrestling Federation of India's (WFI) December 2023 elections, after they failed to appear before the court on multiple dates. Back then Sanjay Singh had become the president beating Anita Sheoran, a candidate backed by the three Olympians. Justice Mini Pushkarna, hearing the matter on November 27, noted that none of the petitioners were present when the matters were taken up, and recorded that they had also remained absent for the previous two hearings. The petitioners do not seem to be interested in prosecuting the present matters, the court said in its order. The wrestlers had moved the High Court, alleging that the WFI elections were not conducted in a fair and transparent manner. Their plea sought intervention against what they claimed were procedural lapses and irregularities in the election process. With continuous non-appearan

PIL in Delhi HC seeks urgent action to tackle hazardous air pollution

A PIL filed in the Delhi High Court has sought urgent steps to control hazardous air pollution levels in the national capital. The plea said over the past several years, the ambient air quality in Delhi has deteriorated drastically, with AQI frequently entering the 'very poor', 'severe' and 'hazardous' categories, especially during winter. The increased pollution has resulted in persistent and serious health issues among residents, including children, senior citizens and persons with pre-existing ailments, it said. The petition has been filed by Greater Kailash-II Welfare Association, which has urged the court to order urgent, effective and scientific measures, both immediate and long-term, to control the city air pollution. The plea said the authorities, which remained "virtually inactive" as the air quality steadily deteriorated, chose to issue "Stage III - steps to be taken" only after the AQI had crossed its critical level. The government confined itself to merely prescribing

The Delhi High Court on Thursday granted time to the city government to file its response on a plea by former Congress councillor Balwan Khokhar, convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment in a 1984 anti-Sikh riots case, for release from jail on furlough to re-establish social ties. Justice Ravinder Dudeja also allowed a plea by Khokhar seeking to advance the date of hearing from February 4, 2026 to an earlier date. The high court now listed the matter for hearing on December 5 and asked the government and jail authorities to file their status report before the next date of hearing. In the meantime, the state should place on record its reply, it said. The court had earlier issued notice to the government and jail authorities on Khokhar's plea.

It's normal for husbands to leave assets to wives: Priya Kapur to Delhi HC

Late industrialist Sunjay Kapur's wife Priya Kapur on Thursday told the Delhi High Court that it was a "healthy tradition" for a husband to give all his assets to his wife and refuted the claim of actor Karisma Kapoor's children that their father's alleged will has surfaced under suspicious circumstances. Priya Kapur's counsel said the same was the case of her father-in-law and Sunjay's father, who gave everything to his wife, Rani Kapur, in his 'will'. "There is nothing suspicious about a husband giving everything in his assets to his wife. As is the case in my father-in-law's 'will' where everything was given to his wife. "It is a healthy tradition which perhaps has been maintained," senior advocate Rajiv Nayar, representing Priya Kapur, submitted before Justice Jyoti Singh. The court, which was hearing the suit of Karisma Kapoor's children -- Samaira Kapur and her brother -- challenging their late father Sunjay Kapur's purported will of his assets, reportedly worth Rs 30,000 cro
