HC judge calls for deeper engagement with law
Dimapur: Justice Y Longkumer, judge of Gauhati High Court, Kohima bench, on Friday called for deeper engagement with law, greater professional development and renewed commitment to justice by the lawyers. She said the panel lawyers, who often serve as the first line of access to justice for the marginalised and under-represented, now play a unique and essential role as educators, advisors and counsellors for common citizens at a time when the Indian legal system is undergoing a pivotal transition with the introduction of new criminal laws. Longkumer was speaking at the one-day orientation programme organised by the Nagaland State Legal Services Authority on new criminal laws — Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA) — for panel/retainer lawyers and Legal Aid Defence Counsel System lawyers in Kohima. She said the Indian criminal justice system is undergoing significant reforms with the introduction of the BNS, BNSS and BSA, replacing the IPC, CrPC and Indian Evidence Act. "These new legislative reforms are not just mere cosmetic changes but represent a new way of thinking on how the justice system is perceived, delivered and experienced by the common citizens," Longkumer said. She said the lawyers, who serve in the legal services panel, are often the first line of access to justice for the marginalised and under-represented, and their role now is more important than ever. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Top Cardiologist Says This Food Can Do Wonders For Your Health Gundry MD Learn More Undo "You have to learn to adapt to changes with professionalism and as it is with any legal transition, there will be challenges and uncertainties in the interpretation," the judge said. On existing practical difficulties, Longkumer cited the existence of different interpretations and sources, questions and the practical burden of unlearning and relearning while observing that now they have to change their mindset and start to unlearn the IPC, CrPC and learn the new laws.

Online scammers dupe Panchkula resident of Rs 18L in stock trading fraud
1 2 3 Panchkula: The cybercrime police have registered a case against unknown individuals for allegedly duping a resident of Rs 18 lakh under the guise of offering high returns through online stock trading. No arrests have been made so far. Jagmendra Singh, 56, a resident of Sector 12A, filed a complaint stating that he was defrauded after responding to a Facebook advertisement promoting online trading. Upon engaging with the ad, he was introduced to a scheme called block trading, which promised daily profits of 10–20%. After sharing his contact details, Singh received a WhatsApp message from a woman named Aarti Bhalla, who claimed to be an assistant to Shripal Shah from Kotak Securities. She shared a profit plan for 2025, including stock details and company credentials such as Sebi registration and CIN numbers. Singh was then sent a form link and added to a WhatsApp group with around 150 members. Between May 10 and May 16, he observed daily stock recommendations and selling guidance within the group. Aarti Bhalla later guided him to install the Kotak QIB application, and a block trading specialist persuaded him to invest. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 40세 미만이라면 이 매혹적인 게임을 하지 마세요 경복의 바다 게임 플레이 Undo On May 16, Singh invested Rs 50,000 in Vivanta Industries shares, transferring the amount to an account claimed to be Sebi-certified. The app displayed his balance, encouraging more investments. He then invested Rs 1 lakh more on May 18 and sold shares on May 19, noting a profit balance of Rs 58,727.25 on the app. Encouraged by the apparent gains, Singh made additional transfers of Rs 60,000, Rs 1,99,000, Rs 1,00,000, Rs 2,00,000, and Rs 70,000 to various accounts. On June 4, he invested Rs 11 lakh in the IPO of Scoda Tube Ltd, bringing his total investment to Rs 18,79,000. The app showed a balance of Rs 1,10,80,241. However, when Singh attempted to withdraw Rs 1,20,000 on June 10, for his son's wedding, the transaction failed. He was informed that his funds were locked in an IPO and that he needed to deposit an additional Rs 8,02,414 to unlock them. Realising he had been scammed, Singh filed a complaint with the cyber police. After verifying the facts, the police registered a case against unknown persons and are scrutinising the accounts to which the money was transferred.
