Justice stage reports Courts Investigations Grabbing minor's breasts, breaking pyjama strings does not qualify as attempt to rape: Allahabad High Court
Allahabad High Court ruled that grabbing a minor girl’s breasts, breaking her pyjama strings, and trying to drag her beneath the culvert is not enough to charge an accused with the offence of rape or an attempt to rape. It described such an act as 'aggravated sexual assault’, TOI reported. Making this observation, the high court modified a summoning order, altering the charges against two accused. The accused were earlier summoned to face trail under section 376 (rape) and under the POCSO Act. However, now the accused will be tried under the section 354(B) IPC (assault or use of criminal force with intent to disrobe) and POCSO Act (aggravated sexual assault). «The allegations levelled against the accused Pawan and Akash and the facts of the case hardly constitute an offence of attempt to rape in the case. In order to bring out a charge of attempt to rape the prosecution must establish that it had gone beyond the stage of preparation. The difference between preparation and actual attempt to commit an offence consists chiefly in the greater degree of determination,” a bench of Justice Ram Manohar Narayan Mishra observed, as it partly allowed the criminal revision plea filed by the three accused. As per the prosecution, the accused Pawan and Akash grabbed the breasts of the 11-year-old victim and one of them broke the string of her pyjama and tried to drag her beneath the culvert.

Israeli leaders say the system isn't 100% guaranteed, but credit it with preventing serious damage and countless casualties. Here's a closer look at Israel's multilayered air-defense system: The Arrow: This system developed with the U.S. is designed to intercept long-range missiles.

markets Ripple XRP SEC security Bitcoin 2020 XRP price surges 11% as SEC drops appeal – Is a new high coming?
XRP, the cryptocurrency associated with Ripple Labs, experienced a significant surge, reaching $2.52, following the US Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) decision to withdraw its appeal against the company. This development marks a pivotal victory for Ripple and has notably boosted investor confidence in XRP. The SEC initiated a lawsuit against Ripple in December 2020, alleging that the company had conducted an unregistered securities offering worth $1.3 billion through the sale of XRP tokens. This legal action had cast a long-standing shadow over XRP's market performance. However, the SEC's recent decision to drop its appeal effectively removes a major regulatory obstacle, allowing Ripple to operate with greater clarity and assurance.

Yogi Adityanath on Thursday said glorifying invaders who attacked India's heritage and dishonoured its people was equivalent to treason, which the 'new India' will never accept. Amid the ongoing controversy over demands to remove Mughal ruler Aurangzeb's tomb in Maharashtra's Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar district, Adityanath warned against celebrating historical figures who sought to destroy Sanatan culture. Addressing a public gathering in Bahraich, Adityanath said, «Glorifying invaders means strengthening the very roots of treason. New India will never accept those who insult our great ancestors and praise those who attacked our civilisation, violated our women, and struck at our faith.» «When the entire world is acknowledging India's rich heritage, it is the duty of every citizen to uphold respect for our great leaders, and not eulogise those who sought to erase our identity,» he added. Adityanath's remarks came as he spoke on the recently-concluded Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj, which he called «the largest human congregation ever witnessed». He also referred to Narendra Modi's recent speech in Parliament, in which the prime minister praised Uttar Pradesh for hosting the event for which «over 66 crore devotees» gathered at the confluence of Ganga, Yamuna and the mystical Saraswati.

World Happiness Report 2025 is out.

Notably, this marks the worst ranking for the US since the report's inception in 2012, when it achieved its peak ranking of 11th place.
