Saudi To Shun Western Firms? Riyadh Withholds Payments Despite Record Profit In Oil Trade

The Supreme Court on Monday made strong observations during the hearing of the Twisha Sharma death case, saying it was “pained” by suggestions that the judiciary was shielding the accused. The court backed a CBI investigation, warned against media sensationalism, and asked all sides — including family members, lawyers and potential witnesses — to avoid public commentary that could influence the probe. The bench clarified that it has not reached any conclusion on the nature of Twisha Sharma’s death and stressed that the investigation must proceed purely on evidence and due process. The hearing has intensified national debate around dowry harassment, domestic abuse, judicial neutrality and media responsibility.
