KARACHI: Setting aside a conviction in a sexual assault case, the Sindh High Court (SHC) has deplored that the underage victim was subjected to trauma by both the police and his own father. A two-judge SHC bench, headed by Justice Omar Sial, observed that the victim’s father and the investigating officer had weakened the prosecution’s case to the extent that reasonable doubt was created. The court further noted that the investigation was not conducted with the sensitivity required in a case involving a juvenile. The bench also remarked that the prosecution had been callous in attempting to prove the charge of sodomy during the trial while lawyers for the parties displayed insensitivity during the recording of the victim’s statement.

The cease-fire could bolster the authority of the Lebanese government, jumpstart diplomacy with Israel and strip Iran of a significant bargaining chip in negotiations with the U.S. But it's vital that Israeli recognize the limitations on Beirut's ability to disarm Hezbollah

“When we hit it, it will be vicious, so we have to prepare for that eventuality,” said former Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson on a potential US Treasury market crisis. Former Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson has urged US authorities to prepare a contingency plan for a potential future collapse in demand for US Treasurys, warning that the fallout would be “vicious.” “We need an emergency break-the-glass plan, which is targeted and short-term, on the shelf, so it’s ready to go when we hit the wall,” Paulson told Bloomberg in an interview on Thursday. The US Treasury market acts as the bedrock of the global financial system, serving as a “risk-free” benchmark with other assets, such as corporate bonds, mortgages, and stocks, being priced relative to Treasurys.
