Gurugram Traffic Police Impounds Motorcycle with 67 Pending Challans Exceeding ₹4 Lakh

The Gurugram Traffic Police has impounded a motorcycle found with 67 outstanding traffic challans, totaling over ₹4 lakh in unpaid fines. The two-wheeler was seized during a routine checking drive at the Damdama red light. A senior traffic police officer stated that most of these violations were related to riding without a helmet, operating without valid vehicle insurance, and lacking a valid Pollution Under Control (PUC) certificate. The vehicle owner was unable to produce any documents for the motorcycle, leading to its impoundment in accordance with regulations. This action is part of the Gurugram Traffic Police's ongoing efforts to enforce traffic rules and enhance road safety by targeting repeat offenders.

ICC Prosecutor Requests Additional Expert Reports in Crimes Against Humanity Trial of Former President Duterte

ICC Prosecutor Requests Additional Expert Reports in Crimes Against Humanity Trial of Former President Duterte

The prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) has formally requested trial judges to admit two additional expert reports in the crimes against humanity trial of former president Rodrigo Duterte. In a filing dated October 30 and released last week, acting ICC prosecutor Mame Mandiaye Niang asked Trial Chamber III to accept a joint expert report from witnesses P-1071 and P-1078, as well as a separate expert report from witness P-1162. Witnesses P-1071 and P-1078 are described as widely published and recognized academic experts in their field. Witness P-1162's report specifically analyzes the use of deadly force by the Philippine National Police (PNP), focusing on Bulacan province, and evaluates indicators such as ratios of suspects wounded versus killed, suspects killed versus police officers killed, and the number of operations against suspects killed. According to Niang, P-1162's expert concluded that there is a "compelling evidentiary basis to conclude" that most encounters were staged to conce...

Karnataka High Court Quashes ED Money-Laundering Case Against Congress MLA, Citing Lack of Predicate Offence

Karnataka High Court Quashes ED Money-Laundering Case Against Congress MLA, Citing Lack of Predicate Offence

The Karnataka High Court, on November 6, 2026, quashed money-laundering proceedings initiated by the Directorate of Enforcement (ED) against Congress MLA KY Nanjegowda. The court ruled that the ED's powers are 'derivative, not original,' meaning the agency cannot investigate without a surviving predicate offense. This decision came after the underlying criminal case, referred to as the 'Land Scam Case,' was closed due to a police closure report and the failure to obtain government sanction for prosecution. The High Court also stated that the ED cannot file private complaints, rejecting the agency's argument that it could do so under Section 200 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. Justice M.I. Arun, who issued the common order, emphasized that the ED is 'not a super cop' and must exercise only those powers expressly conferred by the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). As a result of the ruling, seized assets related to the case were ordered to be returned to the petitioners.

10th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals Upholds 'Inhofe's Midnight Rider' Limiting Tribal EPA Authority in Oklahoma

10th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals Upholds 'Inhofe's Midnight Rider' Limiting Tribal EPA Authority in Oklahoma

The 10th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals has upheld a 2005 federal law, commonly known as 'Inhofe's midnight rider,' which restricts the ability of tribal governments in Oklahoma to obtain 'treatment-as-states' (TAS) status with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This provision effectively grants Oklahoma primacy over the regulation of petroleum waste injection wells, even within Indian Country land. In a 2-1 ruling, the court affirmed the EPA's decision to approve Oklahoma's request to extend 26 state environmental regulatory programs to Indian Country. The Pawnee Nation of Oklahoma had challenged this decision, arguing errors in the rule change and administrative process, and that the rider had expired. However, the majority opinion, written by Judge Timothy Tymkovich, concluded that the provision remains active and that the EPA acted in accordance with its requirements. Judge Richard Federico dissented, arguing that Congress did not speak clearly enough to support the EPA's decision, especially co...
