markets Digital Man Software Justice reports Courts Bombay HC clears 51-year-old man; states, 'medical evidence is not enough in sexual assault cases'

Nagpur Bench of the Bombay High Court recently overturned a 20-year rigorous imprisonment sentence handed down to a man convicted of sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl. The court ruled that the conviction was based primarily on medical evidence, which the judges deemed insufficient without additional corroborative testimony. In its decision, the court emphasised that while medical findings can support a case, they cannot be the primary evidence in establishing guilt. The case dates back to January 2022, when the victim, a 10-year-old girl, visited her uncle’s house in Nagpur. The accused, a 51-year-old landlord, allegedly lured the child to a secluded area and sexually assaulted her. Following the incident, a medical examination confirmed physical injuries consistent with sexual assault. The victim's mother promptly filed a complaint, leading to the arrest of the accused. In June 2023, the special Pocso court convicted the man under Section 376-AB of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and the relevant sections of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (Pocso) Act, relying heavily on the medical findings and the victim's statement recorded under Section 164 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The court sentenced the accused to 20 years in prison.

markets Strategy Software Election awards Bill country Frequent poll code imposition disrupts development, normal public life: Simultaneous polls bill

simultaneous elections for various reasons as polls have become expensive and time-consuming, according to the proposed bill being brought to implement the ambitious 'one nation, one election' plan. According to the constitution amendment bill listed for introduction in the Lok Sabha on Monday, the imposition of a Model Code of Conduct in several parts of the country which are poll-bound puts on hold the entire development programmes and causes disruption of normal public life. Frequent poll code imposition also impacts the functioning of services and curtails the involvement of manpower from their core activities for deployment for prolonged periods for election duties, the 'Constitution (129th) Amendment Bill, 2024' underlined. The bill proposes to insert a new article 82A — simultaneous elections to the House of the People (Lok Sabha) and all legislative assemblies and to amend Article 83 (Duration of Houses of Parliament), Article 172 (Duration of State Legislatures) and Article 327 (power of Parliament to make provision with respect to elections to Legislatures).

markets Digital security Analysis Trade Experts Bitcoin Can cryptocurrencies emerge as the 'new gold'? Exploring their future as safe-haven assets

For ages, gold has been recognised as an everlasting source of value, offering stability and security, notably amid uncertain periods. In contrast, cryptocurrencies, especially Bitcoin, have emerged as one of the most popular digital assets globally. It runs on a decentralised network and is resistant to government intervention. Despite phases of intense volatility and dramatic price declines, Bitcoin's overall trend has been upward throughout its existence. This has further generated curiosity as a possible long-term store of value to hedge against inflation and market instability. Moreover, Bitcoin is also called «digital gold”, grabbing the attention of both investors and organisations due to its decentralised structure, finite quantities and capacity to facilitate seamless transactions globally.

markets Target Strategy Analysis Trade Experts Reactive Investing: How this strategy can help you unlock profits beyond targets

Setting targets is undoubtedly a good practice, but rigid adherence can sometimes lead to missed opportunities. Exiting from the investment solely because it has achieved your pre-decided target is like declaring the batsman just because he scored the expected century but the fact is he is in good form and might score double or triple century in the same inning. Similarly, cutting profits prematurely could result in missing out on potential multi-baggers. This behavior often stems from a fear of losing gains, as explained by the Prospect Theory by Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky. Investors are naturally inclined to avoid losses over seeking larger gains, but overcoming this bias is critical for maximizing returns.
