Iran may withdraw from nuclear treaty after reimposition of UN sanctions, lawmaker says
TEHRAN – Iranian lawmakers weighed on Sunday how to respond to the reimposed UN sanctions over its nuclear programme, which came into effect midnight on Sunday, with one parliamentarian suggesting Tehran could potentially withdraw from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.The sanctions again freeze Iranian assets abroad, halt arms deals with Tehran and penalise any development of Iran’s ballistic missile program, among other measures.It came via a mechanism known as “snapback,” included in Iran’s 2015 nuclear deal with world powers, and comes at a time when Iran’s economy is already reeling.Iran’s rial currency currently sits at a record low, increasing pressure on food prices and making daily life that much more challenging. The prices of essential items in Iranian...

The Allahabad High Court is one of the oldest courts in India
Justice on hold: India court crippled by a million-case backlog
DELHI – The Allahabad High Court – one of India's oldest and most prestigious, once graced by figures like India's first premier Jawaharlal Nehru and future Supreme Court judges – is back in the spotlight.This time, though, for very different reasons.With more than a million cases pending, it is among the most overburdened courts in the country. Matters ranging from criminal trials to property and family disputes have been pending here for decades, leaving thousands of people in India's most populous state, Uttar Pradesh, trapped in legal limbo.Consider Babu Ram Rajput, 73, a retired government employee who has been battling a property dispute for over three decades.He bought land at an auction in 1992, but the previous owner challenged the sale – and the case remains...
