‘Sorry, can’t transfer’, SC on Azam Khan’s plea seeking transfer of forgery case outside UP

Published

on

 The Supreme Court on Wednesday refused to entertain a plea by senior leader of Samajwadi party Azam Khan seeking transfer of trial in a forgery case outside the state.

Senior advocate Kapil Sibal, representing Khan, submitted before a bench headed by Chief Justice D.Y. Chandrachud that his client would not get a fair trial in Uttar Pradesh and pointed out that several cases have been registered against him in the state.

Sibal added that he was convicted in a case and during the pendency of his section 482 petition seeking production of additional evidence in the high court, the conviction resulted in him losing the Rampur seat.

The bench, also comprising Justices S. Abdul Nazeer and P.S. Narasimha, said if the petitioner is aggrieved by any interlocutory order, he can approach the Allahabad High Court.

Sibal pressed that his client was being harassed, as several FIRs have been registered against him in Uttar Pradesh. He claimed that forged documents were produced against his client and the trial court was proceeding with the matter without considering his objections.

The bench said: “As of now, we don’t have any material to transfer the case.”

Sibal insisted that his client would not get justice in the state and added that even this court has commented on the high court, which did not pass an order for three months in bail after reserving it. Declining to entertain Khan’s plea, the top court said he can approach the high court under Section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code.

Sibal said Khan faces nearly 100 FIRs and claimed multiple cases were lodged against him in the same matter. However, the bench said that trial is being conducted and witnesses’ statements are being recorded and this is not a ground for transfer. It added, “You can ask for transfer to any other district. But you are saying they won’t hear anywhere in the state. Sorry!”

The top court orally observed that a wrong order is not a ground to infer bias and transfer the trial from the state.

He contended that three cases were registered in connection with alleged fabrication of date of birth of his client’s son Abdullah Azam Khan. After hearing arguments, the top court declined to entertain Khan’s plea but granted him liberty to move before the high court.

India’s most iconic monument just welcomed another high-profile visitor. Tiffany Trump, daughter of US President Donald Trump, made a stop at the world-famous Taj Mahal on May 30 during her private trip to India, accompanied by her husband, Michael Boulos.

The couple reportedly arrived in Agra on Saturday and spent time exploring the historic marble mausoleum before continuing their travels to Rajasthan. Videos from the visit, shared by press, showed Tiffany embracing the Indian summer in a breezy floral dress, while Michael opted for a relaxed casual look as they admired one of the world’s most celebrated architectural wonders.

Inside Tiffany Trump’s India visit with husband

Tiffany travelled to Agra via a chartered aircraft. Given the family’s global profile, authorities made special security arrangements during the visit. However, officials have clarified that the trip is entirely personal, with no political meetings or official engagements on the schedule.

Before arriving in Agra, Tiffany also visited Swaminarayan Akshardham in Delhi. Sharing her experience on social media, she described the visit as an “Incredible visit to Akshardham Temple,” offering followers a glimpse into her cultural tour across India.

The visit has naturally sparked interest, not only because of Tiffany’s famous family name but also due to the Trump family’s longstanding connection with India. Over the years, members of the family have frequently expressed admiration for India’s culture, heritage, and historic landmarks.

Tiffany, the daughter of Donald Trump and actress Marla Maples, married Michael Boulos in 2022. Since then, the couple has often been spotted together at family celebrations, public appearances, and international events.

Tejashwi Yadav To Lead Major RJD Organisational Overhaul After MLC Polls; Bihar Chief Mangani Lal Mandal Likely To Be Replaced

Published

on

Patna: RJD national working president Tejashwi Yadav may effect a major organisational rejig after the MLC polls, scheduled next month.

In the party`s organsiational overhaul, RJD is also likely to have a new Bihar chief, replacing the incumbent Mangani Lal Mandal. Ahead of the organisational rejig, Tejashwi is scheduled to hold meetings with the party’s district presidents, senior leaders, and party workers.

Senior RJD leaders will hold discussions in these meetings to formulate strategy for strengthening the party at the booth level. The announcement of the new team is expected to follow immediately thereafter. It is widely believed that, in addition to the state president, leaders holding various other organisational positions will also be replaced.

Mandal was  made state RJD president last year. Recently, Mandal created a flutter in party circles after he  expressed his displeasure regarding the working methods of party leaders and workers.

He alleged that several important events were being organised without informing senior office-bearers, and that party protocols were  not followed. He also warned that strict disciplinary action would be taken against those found violating party norms.

Amid the speculation over Mandal’s potential departure, names of former ministers Kumar Sarvajeet and Alok Mehta are doing the rounds for the post of state party chief.

Sarvajeet is considered the frontrunner in this race. He is the RJD MLA representing the Bodh Gaya assembly constituency and is known for his close proximity with both party chief Lalu Prasad and Tejashwi. 

The second major name in this race is Alok Mehta. He possesses extensive political experience at both the central and state levels in Bihar. He is a former MP and currently serves as the RJD MLA from the Ujiarpur constituency.

He is widely regarded as having a strong command over the party’s grassroots cadre. The third name in contention is that of RJD MP Sudhakar Singh. He is the son of the  former state RJD chief, Jagdanand Singh.
