Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma on singer Zubeen Garg's death
"As you know, if any incident happens in a foreign country, under Section 208 of BNSS, the prosecuting agency has to take a prior sanction of the Ministry of Home Affairs or the Central Government. Without that sanction, the court will not take cognisance of the matter, and it will not proceed to trial. Today, Union HM Amit Shah has accorded a sanction to proceed with the matter further, and the sanction will enable us to give a chargesheet in time... We'll conclude the investigation within a period of 10 to 15 days, and we'll file our chargesheet before 10th December..."

Judicial activism must not become ‘adventurism or terrorism’, says CJI Gavai
Chief Justice of India BR Gavai on Monday cautioned that judicial activism should never slip into “judicial adventurism or judicial terrorism.” Speaking at the launch of former Allahabad High Court Chief Justice F.I.

Gavai added that while activism is essential, it must operate within limits, and praised the book for addressing contemporary challenges facing the judiciary.
