While the public prosecutor has concluded his arguments, defence lawyers of two accused have time till December to make the final arguments. The Supreme Court has expedited the trial.

    Mumbai serial blasts

    12 bomb explosions shattered Bombay on 12 March, 1993. Hundreds of people were arrested and tried in special TADA court. The Supreme Court of India sentenced the main conspirator, Yakub Menon to death on 21 March, 2013.

    People don't have time to report crimes: Survey

    A survey revealed that 27% of citizens do not report crimes due to lack of time. 50% of such respondents were from areas like Bandra and Vile Parle in north Mumbai. The second most popular reason for not reporting crimes was not having faith in the legal system. South Mumbai residents refrain from reporting as they 'don't want to get involved in any trouble'.

    IRF by Zakir Naik banned for five years

    The Centre banned the Islamic Research Foundation (IRF), promoted by the controversial preacher Zakir Naik, for five years. The IRF was declared as an outlawed organization under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act. IRF's offices and interests in India will now be closed after an official notification is issued. Naik's speeches have been found as "objectionable" after he came under scanner post the Dhaka terrorist-attack.

    BJP comes out to ease public's inconvenience

    BJP members swung into action to improve the public's mood towards the demonetization drive. Leaders have taken to social media to counter negativity around the decision and are clarifying doubts. BJP has asked karyakartas in Maharashtra to help people in queues by supplying water and biscuits to them. Party workers have been asked to explain the larger benefits of the move to public.

    Police need protection from attacks

    The High Court expressed concern at shortage of police manpower and delayed probes which hampered the legal system. The court said the police cannot investigate cases where police themselves need protection from attacks. The court referred to an attack on a traffic constable which led to his death; it further added that lack of trained investigation officers was responsible for high acquittal of criminals.
