Mumbai Rains News Updates: Red alert issued as city braces for heavy rain, thunderstorms and strong winds

Pune City Police have registered a case against Manorama Khedekar, mother of ex-IAS trainee officer Puja Khedkar, at Chaturshrangi Police Station. She has been booked under Sections 221, 238, and 263 of BNS. The case stems from a road rage incident in Navi Mumbai, where two unidentified individuals allegedly abducted a truck driver’s helper and brought him to Manorama Khedekar’s residence. During the investigation, Navi Mumbai Police traced the location and reached her house. However, when the team attempted to enter, Manorama Khedekar allegedly obstructed their entry and tried to help the accused escape.

In a post on X, the airline said, "It is a rain-soaked day in Mumbai, and several roads leading to the airport are reporting delays due to heavy downpour. Please plan your journey with care and leave early if you are scheduled to travel today. Checking your flight status on our app or website in advance may also help you avoid unnecessary waiting. Our airport teams are prepared and are working to keep your journey moving with as little interruption as possible. Thank you for your patience and understanding."

On Supreme Court's order in Waqf Amendment Act, Advocate MR Shamshad says, "We consider that today's order on Waqf Amendment Act is reasonably good. All the issues except one which relate to Waqf by user, have been addressed by the Supreme Court. Most of them have been stayed. The requirement of somebody being a practising Muslim of five years has been stayed. The Waqf Council's composition where the number of non-Muslim members were vague has been limited to 4. Similarly, Waqf Board has been limited to 3. As far as Collector's power is concerned, during the pendency of disputes so created by the Govt, the Collector will record entry in the revenue record saying that this is not Waqf property till the time it is decided by the appropriate authorities or judicial forum, the Court hsa said that this violates the doctrine of separation of power. So, that has been specifically stayed and it has been said that no revenue record shall be altered and till the time, a final decision is taken, no third-party rights shall be created. So, these are the interim directions at this stage. This is a good order. We will read about Waqf by user then we will respond about it."

Supreme Court puts on hold the provision in the Waqf Amendment Act 2025 that a person should be a practitioner of Islam for 5 years to create a Waqf. The top court says the provision will be stayed till rules are framed on determining whether a person is a practitioner of Islam.

Supreme Court refuses to stay the entire provisions of the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025. The court, however, says that some sections need some protection. - ANI
