Only 30% of prisoners were convicts, the study showed, Daruwala points out, among other findings.

Last year the report had been confined to broad suggestions, but this year specific suggestions have been made since there has been a pandemic, Daruwala says.

#SoliSorabjee

AG Venugopal: When I think of Soli, one would imagine a legend of the law, a great jurist, an attorney general twice over... and above all a lawyer who was innovative and part of the evolution of the Constitution of India

#SoliSorabjee

AG Venugopal: According to me, his success in SR Bommai.. is one of the feathers in his cap...The judgment as a deathblow to the abuse of power by the Centre...

#SoliSorabjee

AG Venugopal: I was appearing (at the time) for Karunanidhi during the height of emergency ...

The allegation that he had taken a bribe was sufficient to dismiss the government in a State, Venugopal recalls.

Vidhi Centre for Law and Policy will be organizing a talk on "Free Speech and its (Un)Lawful Restriction" shortly.

@Vidhi_India

The event begins.

HR Venkatesh: We dont think too about about Supreme Court or censorship. You dont worry about contempt or so.

Journalism in the digital space is a little freer compared print media, in the past few years.

Venkatesh: We feel that entire atmosphere in Judiciary for journalism is bit restrictive. We are little "hemmed"

Off late, the restriction is spreading to the digital space as well.

@Vidhi_India

Prashant Iyengar: What do we make of digital speech and the law?

The Supreme Court has the image of being completely neutral. This is untrue. It has an extremely reactionary attitude. This is true for all Courts in the world.

Good morning and welcome to court 4 of the Royal Courts of Justice, pictured from Waterloo Bridge. It’s a stunning day, London is empty, but the court is busy to hear legal argument over 41 Subposmasters hoping to have their criminal convcitions overturned…

#PostOfficeScandal

… I will be live-tweeting proceedings, hopefully abetted by the various skeleton arguments which I have asked to be supplied by the various teams of counsel present today. Words of warning….

… my tweets only SUMMARIZE what is being said or going on in court. My legal responsibilities are to be contemporaneous, accurate and fair. Nothing is VERBATIM unless it is in “direct quotes”, which only happens when someone speaks very slowly and then there is a pause. So...

… not very often.

For a layman’s summary of the legal arguments likely being exercised today, please have a look at “Court of Appeal: Battle Royale” on the Post Office Trial website:

I am in the press box alongside (well 2m apart from) @samiotobin from the Press Association. I know @TomWitherow from the Daily Mail has an interest in today’s proceedings. Maybe he is attending remotely. Brian Altman QC is senior counsel for the Post Office. Various other...

@LauraJedeed for the record nick lee @econbrkfst started bullying when a close friend was diagnosed with coronavirus. in respect of the tragic circumstances, i asked to be left alone. instead, econbrkfst bullied me mercilessly. my friend has died.

i don't think its reasonable to bully people, endanger them, violate their privacy, ridicule them, etc, as they process the death of their friends. if you knew the circumstances---which i tried to keep private---you would know why i feel injured by econbrkfst's harassment of me.

thank you for respecting my grieving at this time. i ask you to step back and not jump into any witch trial mob initiated by nick lee at @econbrkfst against me, or especially, black women. @twittersupport @twittersafety

Breaking news and a plea for journalists to cover: Covid ourbreak in Multnomah County Jail among corrections officers bad enough that attorneys were not able to call clients last night. Not enough people to work the phone system or let detainees access phones.

The jail situation here has been frightening & I suspect people don't know about the outbreaks, quarrantine rules & even how that has slown down court in the past few weeks. If we can't talk to our in-custody clients by phone, they won't bring them to court, things get backed up.

The sheriff brings people from the 2 jails to the courthouse for hearings. For some reason they won't just get some ipads and let prisoners zoom in from the jail. Meanwhile belly chains on some prisoners mean poor ability to adjust a droopy mask so lots of noses are exposed.

Some judges are just appearing by video chat, which suggests their real thoughts on the matter.

I will always remember one particular scene: standing next to a belly-chained client (and the deputy and the clerk), with his mask down around his chin as he talked in delusional pressured speech loudly over the disemdied voice of the judge and DA who both appeared on a large tv.

Today is the last working day of the Supreme Court for the year 2020.

In a year of many unprecedented events, the Supreme Court has laid down many precedents, in more than one sense of the term.

My list of the notables, but not necessarily in order of notability, is here👇

1. In re. problems and miseries of migrant workers: A petition seeking help for migrant workers affected by the COVID lockdown had been disposed off. Then the Court suo moto took up the miseries of workers and sought to oversee the facilities for the migrant workers.

2. Government passed orders directing employers to not stop paying wages to workers. Employers challenged this In Ficus pax v. Union of India. Supreme Court directed employers to negotiate with employees.

3. In a decision having bearing upon its own administration, in Chief Information Commissioner v. HC of Gujarat and Anr. the court held that where HC rules provide for a procedure to obtain certified copies, same cannot be obtained by RTI.

4. The 2013 Land Acquisition Act resulted in lapse of some acquisition proceedings under the old 1894 Act. 5 judges in Indore Development Authority v. Manoharlal clarified that proceedings will not lapse either compensation has been paid or physical possession has been taken.

Bruce L. Campbell, John C. Clarke, and Miller Nash Graham & Dunn LLP filed the brief amicus curiae for Transgender Law Center, interACT, and Beyond Binary Legal.

Does ORS 33.460 permit the circuit court to grant a legal change of sex from male or female to nonbinary? The circuit court concluded that the statute does not permit such a change, and it denied petitioner's application under ORS 33.460

Great article from @AsheSchow. I lived thru the 'Satanic Panic' of the 1980's/early 1990's asking myself "Has eveyrbody lost their GODDAMN MINDS?!"

For three years I have wanted to write an article on moral panics. I have collected anecdotes and similarities between today\u2019s moral panic and those of the past - particularly the Satanic Panic of the 80s.

This is my finished product: https://t.co/otcM1uuUDk

The 3 big things that made the 1980's/early 1990's surreal for me.

1) Satanic Panic - satanism in the day cares ahhhh!

2) "Repressed memory" syndrome

3) Facilitated Communication [FC]

All 3 led to massive abuse.

"Therapists" -and I use the term to describe these quacks loosely - would hypnotize people & convince they they were 'reliving' past memories of Mom & Dad killing babies in Satanic rituals in the basement while they were growing up.

Other 'therapists' would badger kids until they invented stories about watching alligators eat babies dropped into a lake from a hot air balloon. Kids would deny anything happened for hours until the therapist 'broke through' and 'found' the 'truth'.

FC was a movement that started with the claim severely handicapped individuals were able to 'type' legible sentences & communicate if a 'helper' guided their hands over a keyboard.

There are many strategies in market 📉and it's possible to get monthly 4% return consistently if you master 💪in one strategy .
One of those strategies which I like is Iron Fly✈️

Few important points on Iron fly stategy

This is fixed loss🔴 defined stategy ,so you are aware of your losses . You know your risk ⚠️and breakeven points to exit the positions.
Risk is defined , so at psychological🧠 level you are at peace🙋‍♀️

How to implement
1. Should be done on Tuesday or Wednesday for next week expiry after 1-2 pm
2. Take view of the market ,looking at daily chart
3. Then do weekly iron fly.
4. No need to hold this till expiry day .

5.Exit it one day before expiry or when you see more than 2% within the week.
5. High vix is preferred for iron fly
6. Can be executed with less capital of 3-5 lakhs .
https://t.co/MYDgWkjYo8 have R:2R so over all it should be good.

8. If you are able to get 6% return monthly ,it means close to 100% return on your capital per annum.

VEDIC COSMOLOGY, also known as Hindu Cosmology, and cosmography are both interesting and inspiring. Today’s “modern” Vedic texts originated around 3,000 B.C.E. This is the oldest scientific and the oldest religious doctrine known to the human race.

Our current astronomy of the solar system and universe has its roots in Vedic knowledge. It only shows that man had advanced knowledge of astronomy way before our current civilization came into existence.
We are here to talk about the Vedic version of the planetary system,

starting at the top from the eternal planets to the temporary planetary system within innumerable universes in the material world.

Talking about “cosmic manifestation,” we need to incorporate both spiritual and material existence.

The spiritual realm of the planets is everlasting, and this will forever be beyond what the material universe can encapsulate. The spiritual realm belongs to the “super dimensional” or “anti-material” dimension. It means that it is beyond what we can perceive,

beyond time as a linear dimension, and the space of our vision and perception.

There are innumerable planets, all indestructible and forever lasting. That is what the Vedas say about the spiritual planets. Our concentration here is more towards the material side of things.

WHEN GH0RI TOOK TO HIS HEELS WHILST FIGHTING A HINDU QUEEN

THE BATTLE OF KASAHRADA (Kayadara)
1178 AD

Strategy! Bravado! Glory!

(Thread)

The narrative set by left historians about one of their favorite poster boys "Gh0ri" is that he went unchallenged upon entering the Indian subcontinent with one king falling after another.(1)

They conveniently deleted this event. Why? An agenda aimed at making us feel weak and inferior against the invaders in an attempt to glorify them. Simple strategy: To destroy a civilization tamper their history.(2)

Gh0ri defeated Prithviraj Chauhan at the 2nd Battle of Tarain in 1192 and laid the foundation of Delhi Sultanate. What is not well known is the fact that 14 years before he won this battle, he was defeated by the queen of Gujarat "Naiki Devi"!(3)

In 1173 Md Gh0ri had conquered the Ghaznavids in Afghanistan. A ruthless, persistent and deceptive Gh0ri was successful in conducting massive raids deep inside Indian territory.(4)
