I am writing this letter to let people know that I am continuously experiencing anxiety, nausea, and panic attacks because of the harassment by Dr. Dinamani, and have been facing it for more than a year. I want to be heard without being forced to apologise, without being judged for my mental health and without being made to feel guilty for seeking help. I just want to get justice for what I have endured.

A two-outlet eatery in Pune has been beating Burger King in court since 2024 🍔

The Pune shop has used the name "Burger King" since 1992, over 20 years before the American chain opened its first Indian outlet. When the global company sued, a trial court sided with the local eatery. On appeal, the Bombay High Court reinstated an injunction. The Supreme Court then stayed that injunction, letting the small shop keep its name while the case continues.

Swipe through for how a two-outlet local business has held its ground against a 13,000+ restaurant global chain, and the trademark law doctrine that's protecting it.

What does a test score actually measure? 📜⚖️

In the ongoing debate over competitive exams and quotas, an absolute numerical mark is often treated as the sole measure of merit. But test scores only capture performance on exam day—they remain blind to the starting lines of different candidates.

The Indian Constitution’s framework of substantive equality under Articles 15 and 16 doesn't render marks meaningless. Instead, it legally factors in the unequal conditions—such as access to coaching, study materials, and historical disadvantage—that produced those scores in the first place.

Just received this rather interesting email from X.

Turns out Acharya Balkrishna has approached the Delhi High Court in a personality-rights suit and one of the tweets specifically identified in the material filed before the Court is mine, from 2021.

What did I tweet?

https://twitter.com/bansalavani/status/1399391902403731460

An article I had written for @TheLeaflet on Baba Ramdev’s statements against allopathy during the devastating second wave of Covid and on a public statement made by Acharya Balkrishna himself.

The article is still online.

So, naturally, I went back and read it again after five years.

You should too. 👇

“Sorry, But Not Sorry! Baba Ramdev’s Statements Amount To Criminal Offence”

https://theleaflet.in/health/sorry-but-not-sorry-baba-ramdevs-statements-amount-to-criminal-offence

I stand by the importance of asking difficult legal questions about statements made by powerful public figures - especially when they concern public health, religion and misinformation.

And yes, I intend to understand why my tweet finds a place in this litigation.

Freedom of expression doesn't extend to disrupting judicial proceedings.

If a courtroom's decorum is compromised through abusive conduct or disruption, it weakens respect for the institution itself. Justice depends not only on fair decisions but also on preserving the dignity of the courts where those decisions are made."

ILO Adopts Convention on Decent Work in the Platform Economy

The International Labour Conference adopted the Decent Work in the Platform Economy Convention, 2026 (No. 193) on 12 June 2026 during its 114th Session in Geneva. The Convention is the first binding international labour standard dedicated specifically to work performed through digital labour platforms. It will enter into force after ratification by the required number of ILO Member States.

The Convention establishes a comprehensive international framework governing platform work. Among its principal features are provisions requiring employment status to be determined primarily by the facts of the working relationship, safeguards governing algorithmic management and automated decision-making, protections relating to workers' personal data, transparency obligations, occupational safety and health measures, protections against unjustified suspension or deactivation, and access to effective dispute resolution. It also requires Member States to adopt measures for implementation and enforcement, including clarifying responsibilities where intermediaries are involved.

The Convention is significant because it moves the regulation of digital labour platforms beyond fragmented national experimentation towards an internationally recognised normative baseline. Although its legal effect will ultimately depend on ratification and domestic implementation, it provides governments, courts, regulators, and social partners with a common framework for addressing platform work and algorithmic management. As more jurisdictions confront questions surrounding gig work, AI-enabled management, and digital labour rights, Convention No. 193 is likely to become an influential reference point for legislative reform, judicial interpretation, and platform governance across jurisdictions.

RBI Expands Model Risk Guidance to AI ML Models

On 24 June 2026, the Reserve Bank of India released draft Guidance on Regulatory Principles for Model Risk Management for public comments. The draft is addressed to a wide set of regulated entities, including banks, NBFCs, co-operative banks, all-India financial institutions, asset reconstruction companies, and credit information companies, and comments are due by 24 July 2026.

The draft says regulated entities are increasingly using models, including AI and ML models, across business and decision-making processes, and that weak governance, oversight, risk management, and controls can create financial, operational, compliance, and reputational risk. It requires a board-approved model risk management framework, applies to all models whether internal or third-party, and places accountability for model outcomes on the regulated entity itself. It also covers the full model lifecycle, including selection, development, validation, approval, monitoring, change management, business continuity, and decommissioning.

European Parliament Approves AI Act Simplification Measures and Nudifier Ban

On 16 June 2026, the European Parliament gave final approval to amendments to selected AI Act rules as part of the digital omnibus package, by 423 votes to 57 with 174 abstentions. The measure still requires formal adoption by the Council before it can enter into force.

The package postpones the application of certain high-risk AI obligations: from 2 December 2027 for stand-alone high-risk systems and from 2 August 2028 for AI systems embedded as safety components and covered by EU sectoral safety law.

It also delays watermarking obligations for certain AI-generated content until 2 December 2026 and introduces a ban on AI systems that generate child sexual abuse material or create intimate or sexually explicit images, video, or audio of identifiable persons without consent.

Five Eyes Cyber Agencies Warn Leaders on AI-Driven Cyber Risk

On 22 June 2026, the Five Eyes cyber security agencies issued a joint statement, The AI shift in cyber risk: why leaders must act now. The statement is signed by senior officials from Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the UK, and the US.

The statement says frontier AI models are expected to transform offensive and defensive cyber capability within months, not years. It frames cyber risk as a core business and leadership responsibility, and urges organisations to prioritise secure-by-design controls, defence in depth, accelerated patching, stronger identity and access controls, and incident preparedness.

On 23 June 2026, Raksha Rajya Mantri Shri Sanjay Seth chaired the 15th Defence Information Technology Consultative Committee (DITCC) meeting in New Delhi. The meeting was conducted by Headquarters Integrated Defence Staff and focused on Aatma-Nirbharta in IT and the time-bound adoption of cutting-edge enablers.

The committee deliberated on disruptive technologies in defence services, including the indigenisation of advanced chip manufacturing, the development of a sovereign operating system and database, and the strategic siting of data centres for defence needs. It also cleared projects that the release says will have far-reaching benefits for the Defence Forces and for wider technological development.
