Bombay High Court Cancels Sachin Waze's Bail in Antilia Bomb Scare Case

The Bombay High Court has cancelled the bail previously granted to Sachin Waze in the serious Antilia bomb scare case. The court took this step following an appeal filed by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) against the earlier bail decision. According to a report by The Times of India, Sachin Waze was arrested in March 2021 and will now remain in custody following this court order.

The court emphasised the presence of explosive elements and security risks in this case. This decision has sparked new discussions regarding the investigation and legal proceedings. It is believed that the cancellation of Sachin Waze's bail will assist investigating agencies in advancing the case.

Meanwhile, another significant case has been filed in the Bombay High Court by Rupali Ganguly. According to The Times of India, actress Rupali Ganguly has approached the court against the unauthorised use of her photos and videos. She has alleged that her images have been used without her consent across various platforms and websites, including AI-generated morphed content on adult websites.

Rupali Ganguly's lawyer has requested the court to immediately remove such objectionable content and protect her identity. Rupali Ganguly is well-known for her successful role in the show 'Anupama', which led to a resurgence in her career.

Turning to other parts of the country, the Supreme Court is hearing a case regarding the removal of names from voter lists. According to a report by Dainik Bhaskar, the Chief Justice of India (CJI) has assured voters that there is no need to panic if names have been removed from the draft voter list, as the court is hearing the matter. The court may ask the Election Commission to extend the deadline for filing Form-6.

In this case, hearings were held on petitions challenging the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voter lists in Delhi. Petitioners raised questions over the Election Commission's clarification dated November 3. The Election Commission had stated that those whose names were removed from the SIR draft list would have to fill Form-6 to register again, even if they had been voters for 10 years. However, the court had previously stated that people whose names were removed during the SIR while being included in the 2026 list cannot be forced to fill Form-6 as new voters. The next hearing on this matter will take place on November 19.

The Election Commission has clarified that filling Form-6 will not be considered a false affidavit, nor will it lead to any legal case. Generally, Form-6 requires a declaration stating, "My name is being added to the voter list for the first time." Legally, Section 31 provides for punishment up to 1 year for providing false information, which had caused lakhs of people to fear filling the form. The Election Commission has now removed this fear.

Under the SIR process, more than 13 crore names were removed from draft rolls in 30 states, including Bihar and Delhi, in 2025-26. In Delhi alone, 47 lakh names were removed out of 1.45 crore. The Election Commission has modified the online registration process, where separate OTPs and e-signs will now be required for Form-6 and the declaration form. Following changes made in October, information from the 2003 voter list will no longer be required.

Major action has been taken against violations of food safety rules in Nizamabad, Telangana. According to a report by The Hindu, the Telangana Standards Authority for Food and Essential Drugs (TG SAFE) has ordered the closure of four food establishments and suspended the FSSAI licenses of 13 others. On November 3, 2026, 14 teams of food safety officers and police inspected 28 units.

During the investigation, unsanitary kitchens, infestations of cockroaches and flies, raw materials contaminated by insects, rotten vegetables, and expired products were found. At some locations, newspapers were being used to cover food, and employees were working without hairnets or gloves. Rat droppings, stagnant water, and dirty exhaust systems were also observed. Officials took 26 samples on suspicion of adulteration, and 9,645 kilograms of food worth ₹17.28 lakh were seized or destroyed.

Orders to close Maharaja Sweet and Bakes, Panchvati Sweets, Shiv Shakti Ice Cream in Dubba, and Sagar Bakery in Autonagar were issued for operating without a license. The establishments whose licenses were suspended include L.P. Products, Zunaira Family Restaurant, Chhappan Bhog Sweets, Hotel Kureshiya, Water Solution Company, Janta Traders, Ira Foods and Beverages, Sukhjit Starch Mills, Shri Ayyappa Traders, Radhe Mithai Vatika, Shri Radhe Enterprises, Mogh Foods Private Limited, and Quality Sweets and Chikki (KK Sweets).
