The Delhi High Court suspended the 10-year jail sentence of an Indian Air Force officer convicted in a 2021 rape case. What was one of the key reasons cited by the court for granting suspension of sentence?
The officer has already served 4 years and his appeal is pending since 2023The Delhi High Court emphasized that the petitioner had no criminal antecedents and had already undergone four years of a 10-year sentence. The court noted that since the appeal has been pending before the Armed Forces Tribunal since 2023 and is unlikely to be decided soon, there is a real risk of the officer completing a substantial portion or even the entire sentence before the appeal is resolved. This would defeat the purpose of the appellate process. Hence, the court exercised its discretionary power to suspend the sentence to prevent irreversible harm. The judgment underscored the importance of timely justice and fair appellate review.

What decision has the Delhi Jal Board taken regarding the former CEO’s bungalow that was built after allegedly demolishing a 15th-century historical monument?
Convert it into an engineering training centreThe Delhi Jal Board has given in-principle approval to repurpose the controversial bungalow—constructed by former CEO Udit Prakash Rai after allegedly razing a 15th-century 'mahal' from the Pathan period—into a human resource and engineering training centre. The structure, located in Kilokri near Lajpat Nagar, sparked a major scandal in 2023 when it was discovered that the heritage site had vanished. Rai, eligible for only 106 sqm accommodation, built a 700 sqm house on 5,500 sqm land at a cost of ₹4 crore. After vigilance inquiries and public outcry, he vacated the premises, which have remained unused. The proposed reuse aims to salvage public utility from a symbol of administrative misuse.
