The trial in the 2020 Northeast Delhi riots conspiracy case is set to be delayed yet again after a recent reshuffle of trial court judges, with proceedings now restarting under a new judge.

NEW DELHI:

On Monday, a city court directed defence lawyers of 18 accused persons to submit a consolidated timeline for completing their arguments on charge—a stage that was nearing conclusion but must now begin afresh.

The direction came from additional sessions judge (ASJ) Lalit Kumar, who heard the matter for the first time after replacing ASJ Sameer Bajpai. ASJ Kumar has now sought a tentative schedule from defence lawyers for wrapping up arguments, despite the fact that five of the accused had concluded their submissions.

This follows an administrative order issued by the Delhi High Court last week, resulting in a reshuffle of several trial court judges. ASJ Bajpai, who had presided over the case since December 2023, was himself a replacement for ASJ Amitabh Rawat.

MF Husain: Man and myth, art and artist

M F Husain is undoubtedly India's best known and perhaps most highly regarded modern artist. As an editorial in this newspaper put it last week, he is \"arguably the most inventive artist of Indian modernism\". This is why it's not just sad but upsetting that an MF Husain museum will open next month in Doha and not in the country of his birth.

Where is everyone?

We've been searching for decades, but haven't found so much as a microbe in space yet. Could it be that we're early; that life simply has not evolved yet in the neighbourhood? Are we doing it all wrong? Is there a bustling universe of sentient beings out there, waiting for us to catch on? Humans are now beginning to build technology that could make the difference in our quest for alien life. We have a growing understanding of what to look for. We're getting better at sending probes to nearby planets, which could tell us more about where and how to search. What might we find? Why does it matter? Take a look
