Kutumb through its trustee v. State of NCT of Delhi & Ors. along with Amrik Singh Babbar (Library) v. State of NCT of Delhi & Ors.

W.P.(C)-10550/2024 & CM APPL. 43292/2024 In W.P.(C)-13308/2023

Before The Delhi High Court

The Delhi High Court ordered the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to investigate the deaths of three civil services aspirants who drowned in the basement of an IAS coaching center in Rajendra Nagar. The direction came from an Division Bench comprising Acting Hon'ble Mr. Chief Justice Manmohan J andHon'ble Mr. Justice Tushar Rao Gedela J acknowledging the seriousness of the incident and potential corruption by public servants.

Query by Court:

What caused the water to accumulate in the basement?

Why was the infrastructure not upgraded to prevent such incidents?

Who sanctioned the building plan, and was there any negligence in ensuring safety compliance?

Submission by MCD Commissioner:

The stormwater drain is dysfunctional and encroached upon by residents.

The physical infrastructure in Delhi is outdated and poorly maintained.

Measures will be taken to make the drains functional and remove encroachments and illegal constructions.

Submission by Delhi Police (ASG Sanjay Jain):

The investigation was carried out under extreme stress.

Further scientific investigation is needed.

The owner of the building has been arrested, but MCD officials have not been personally questioned yet.

Court's Observations:

Physical Infrastructure:

The physical infrastructure in Delhi, laid down 75 years ago, is inadequate and poorly maintained.

There is a need for modern physical, financial, and administrative infrastructure to cope with Delhi's growing population of over 3 crores.

MCD's Role:

The supervising officers of MCD are not performing their duties adequately.

The MCD was criticized for not respecting judicial orders and lacking accountability, with references to ongoing issues of unauthorized construction and inadequate enforcement.

There was negligence in repairing the stormwater drain and supervising the building's safety measures.

Investigation:

The investigation by Delhi Police was not handled scientifically.

The Court stressed the importance of conducting the investigation scientifically and without stress.

The involvement of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) was deemed necessary to ensure a thorough and unbiased investigation.

Court's Proceedings and Orders:

Transfer of Investigation:

The Court transferred the investigation to the CBI to ensure public confidence in the investigation process.

MCD Directives:

The MCD Commissioner was directed to ensure that the stormwater drains are functional.

Encroachments and illegal constructions in the area should be removed immediately.

Formation of Committee:

A committee headed by the Chief Secretary of GNCTD, MCD Commissioner, Commissioner Delhi Police, and DDA VC was constituted.

The committee was directed to submit its report within four weeks.

Court's Remarks to Delhi Police:

The Court emphasized the need for a transparent and factual investigation.

The Delhi Police was advised to conduct the investigation without stress and focus on scientific methods.

Compliance with Safety Regulations:

The Court referred to previous incidents and the lack of preventive measures taken by the authorities.

It highlighted the ongoing issue of illegal commercial buildings operating without proper approvals and safety clearances.

selling without profit

I’m an avid shopper at Costco, but since I moved in my new place, it has become too far to visit readily. The other day, I was astonished to find that a tiny local general store on the forlorn street near my apartment carried some Costco’s merchandise. Indirect stores for the Costco’s merchandise usually add big profit margins to it, so that it costs less to shop at Costco directly even with the…

First of all you don't even have floppy curly hair like that so jot that down. :P I mean I don't know half of these half as well as I would like but the vibe I'm getting is every day you wake up and the world is mean and you just want to be allowed to go to back to bed and be cozy and gay. Also that you're a nerd. (Tim is the nerdy one right?)

Yes all 5 of them from Kokoro Connect but also if I put just one you wouldn't know which it really was.

raffle for palestine

hi everyone, in an attempt to raise money for PCRF and UNRWA, I am organising a raffle on tumblr.

how do i register?

make a donation (any amount is a good amount) to either PCRF or UNRWA, then send me the donation receipt via email (evilraccoonee@gmail.com), dm or ask. both organisations accept donations via credit card and paypal.

what's the prize?

tatreez is an important part of palestinian cultural heritage. it's the traditional palestinian form of cross-stitch with different regions, and even different villages, embroidering their own style of tatreez.

some time ago I came across Lina Barkawi, aka @ linasthobe on instagram. please go check her out, she is an amazing artist.

this is what I made using her pattern "I Love You, Oh Homeland"*:

as it is my first time ever doing any type of cross-stitch, it is far from perfect and more of a symbolic prize—but I hope it will find a nice spot in the winner's home :)

how do you choose a winner?

the raffle will run from today (February 16 2024) to February 23 2024. I will then choose a winner via randomizer and contact the winner.

important:

the winner must be willing to share a valid address where I can send the prize to. it can be the address of someone you trust, too - just please get their consent first. of course I will treat your data confidentially.

i'm willing to ship internationally so as many people as possible can join!!

*btw: you can get this pattern on Lina's instagram page as a freebie ❤

for transparency's sake, I got permission from Lina to make this post beforehand.

Summoning Game Show 3

Masterpost

I got so inspired and had so much fun writing for part 2 I just kept going. I have determined that this 'fic' should be about 7 parts long total. And here's Part 3, because I'm enjoying the nonsense of this so much.

~~~~~

“Congratulations on successfully finishing the first challenge! You can make your way back to the main room to receive your clue.”

The screen changes once Nightwing is on the stage with them. It now shows what looks like a wheel of fortune puzzle. Three words, four letters, four letters, and seven letters.

“For your clue, you can choose a letter for the puzzle!” Danny explains. “Since there are four of you we will give you four letters automatically, and you each have the chance to earn an extra letter. For the freebies! E, the most common vowel in English.”

“Looks like no E’s in this puzzle.” Danny shrugs at the boys with a grin on his face. “For the next three letters, we have the three most common consonants: T, N, and S!”

“Three letters up, two N’s and one T.” Danny turns away from the screen to face Nightwing. “What letter would you like to choose?” Dick turns to look at Red and Jason “This portion is not collaborative.” Danny cuts in with a small frown, making everyone look back at him. “You earned the letter, you choose the letter. They only get to pick a letter after they’ve earned one.”

Nightwing grimaces slightly. “A?” 

“A!” Danny turns back to the screen.

“One A!” Danny turns back. “The next challenge is a sword fight against Fright Knight! Who would like to sword fight?”

Damian very quickly raised his hand. Tim almost wanted to smack him, but as similar as a bo staff can be, and as much as he doesn’t want Damian in danger, Damian does have the most extensive sword training amongst them.

Danny takes Damian to pick out his sword. “I see that you have a sword already, but the fight is to first blood and you can’t harm Fright Knight with that sword, so that’s kind of unfair. We need to get you a weapon that will actually be able to hit your opponent.” They leave through a side door, but they leave it open so everyone can see all the weapon racks and Danny as he shows Damian around.

Tim leans towards Dick and Jason as Dick takes his seat in the middle chair. “Cool, so our weapons can’t actually hurt them, good to know. What exactly are we going to be asking the King at the end of this?”

“What do you mean?” Dick asks.

“I think he means that if we want to get back to our dimension we don’t want to piss off everyone here by wasting their time.” Jason spits out, sitting up and turning towards them. “They didn’t seem to take too kindly to that idea earlier.”

Dick winces and nods. “We could ask him to deal with the cult that brought us here.”

“What if he kills all of them?” 

“Well, you clearly have an idea Red, why don’t you tell us instead of making us guess.” Jason complains.

“Diplomatic relations.” Red states. “New dimension, new culture. We’re here to learn, maybe we could ask to set up a meeting between the King and Batman, or the Justice League.”

“The whole point of this is to get a meeting, what do you think he’s going to do if we use this meeting to ask for a different meeting?”

“Jason has a point. Maybe we could just ask to set up a way to communicate between us?” Dick suggests.

“I have obtained a sufficient weapon.” Damian calls out as he and Danny approach. Danny comes up onto the stage, heading back to the podium, but Damian doesn’t waste his time going back up and instead waits by the short stairs for further instructions. He is holding a katana, similar to the one he is used to, but with a different grip and that is glowing.

“So, since you’re using a semi unfamiliar weapon, Fright Knight is not going to be allowed to use his Soul Shredder, just to make it fair. And just in case he draws first blood, we don’t want to accidentally send anybody to their nightmare dimension!” Danny chirps out cheerfully. “You will be fighting in here, just stay on the main floor and away from bystanders. Fight will immediately end at first blood, no maiming, no killing, no excessive force. No use of powers is permitted.”

Danny gestures to where Fright Knight is exiting the armory with a regular looking broadsword. “This is Fright Knight.” Fright Knight waves as he comes over, stopping next to Damian so they’re both standing beneath the stage.

“Are you both ready?” The two swordsmen take a few steps away from each other and take positions before nodding. “Begin!”

random dick grayson hcs bc i said so!!!

warning: usage of the metric system

got banned from club penguin for making his username dickg0320 and he had no idea why

bruce didn't have the heart to break it to him so he told him it's because you can't use your real name

so he changed it to therealrobin0320

and really they're just very lucky that nobody has ever thought that they could figure out robin and therefore batman's identity from club penguin

(and yes, he did cry when the game shut down)

has the lowest spice tolerance out of everybody in the batfam and he will be bullied for it

his biggest fear is one of those games where everybody eats a spoonful of sugar but one of them is salt or smth

but like the ones where it’s like pistachio cookies and one that’s full of wasabi or smth

jason, tim, and steph conspire to get dick to eat the cookie

terrible at mini golf

i will not be elaborating on that, but let’s just say he thought that would be a great first date idea…

has the most random t-shirts that he wears to sleep and around the house?

i don’t mean like weird weird but like random corporate freebies…

why does he have a boston marathon tshirt from 2008?

canada post merch (very niche but the shirt gets a little extra love during the strike)

he’s never even been there

he probably has a random bing mug somehow too because why not i guess

went to damian’s parent teacher interviews when bruce was too busy and let’s just say he was quite popular with the parents

he genuinely gets so invested, idk if it was just my school but sometimes the parents could volunteer to supervise during recess

dick likes to pop in and make sure damian has friends and check in on his beloved brother

but he’s also so good and sweet to the other kids there

he’s pretty used to cleaning up wounds after missions, and the kids always come to him

like a kid will scrape their knee playing soccer and he’s already there, helping them off the field while he disinfects the wound

he starts bringing those character bandaids (he somehow manages to find nightwing and batman bandaids) because he realizes it distracts the kids from their injury and makes the pain a bit more bearable

he’s already so good with his siblings, especially damian, i just know he’s so good with kids your honour

he is so incredibly confused by the slang though

kids will be like “are you skibidi toilet?” and his brain stops working because what the heck are they saying? what does that even mean? is that good or bad?

he will try to search up the terms and then he will use it in the most cursed way possible

“hey guys, stop being sigmas to each other, that’s not very rizzler of you.”

get this man off the internet and into a nursing home

i think his knowledge of pop culture ends with like 2016 millenial slang

of the recent stuff, i think he knows slay and that’s it

he gives me like tip of the iceberg disney adult…

in the most respectful way possible

like he doesn’t know every single disney world employee by name or like go disneybounding

but i feel like he watched all of the movies growing up and knows the songs by heart

like from when his parents were still alive

sometimes they get to town when a movie has just come out and they have some free time before their show

they go to a diner for breakfast, explore the new city, dick gets to choose what they do before they head back to the circus

one time he sees an ad for dumbo and they go in

and he was hooked (it hurts to even think about the movie now though, after everything that has happened. it’s the one movie he’ll never watch)

sorry that was kinda sad! anyways, i feel like he would like the coming of age leaving home stories, especially when he gets a bit older and can relate to them more

mulan, princess and the frog, tangled (one time he joked that bruce was acting like mother gothel and when bruce searched up who that was, he was…not happy to say the least)

he will ugly cry too but what’s annoying is his “ugly” is unfortunately still quite good looking

and he has indeed forced all of the batfam to watch the movies with him during family movie night

like if you think you’re going to get through a road trip without him blasting i’ll make a man out of you or i see the light, think again

a big fan of the disney renaissance classics

but like any pixar movie will also have him bawling

if he has a kid, he’s sitting them down and making them watch the whole catalogue

i feel like he wouldn’t love the new remakes and sequels as much, part of it is the lack of nostalgia for him, but he’ll still watch it opening night

drives like an old man

hunched over, both hands on the steering wheel, completely straight stare

and he refuses to go over the speed limit, even on the highway

but he’s a MENACE in the passenger seat

lovesss being on aux, i feel like he would love the pop girlies

like taylor swift, sabrina carpenter, he’s cried to casual (so real of him ngl)

but i feel like as an older sibling he can’t help but backseat or i guess passenger seat drive a little bit

“oh, watch out for that stop sign” “the one 5 km from here? how can you even see that?”

drives jason up the wall

A KPOP FAN

i feel like being a gymnast would make you at least a semi competent dancer

dude is vibing to kiss of life, twice, le sserafim and learning the choreo too

eldest son of billionaire bruce wayne spotted at local kpop random play dance

imagine him playing music while he’s getting ready for patrol

he’s singing to what is love while he’s making sure his escrima sticks are fully charged

like are we seeing the vision

[us-the-voices-and-more-voices-2]

fnaf lore makes the batboy's insane

Jason on a call to Tim: and then I said "well I always come back" and this guy, the audacity of this guy he said "oh like 'em Willy Afton?" WHO IS THAT???

Tim: NO! YOU TOO??? I don't know either! I was on patrol and there was this call for a animatronic pizzeria thing that recently opened! so I get there and IT'S RIOTS, I mean RIOTS. picket signs that said "no more robot menaces" people in a counter protest wearing weird animal masks??? it was SO BAD, it took me and the GCPD a good 3 hours to stop the whole thing, in the meantime someone FIREBOMBED the pizzeria! crazy stuff.

Jason: wait Fred's pizzeria?? he was just trying to bring in new business!

Tim: I KNOW, I don't know what got into them!

*dick joins the call*

Dick: hi guys! whatch'a talking about?

Tim: you heard about the riots and Fred's pizzeria???

Dick: NO NOT FRED'S! WHYYY????

Jason: something about the animatronics he was using??? it spawned 2 protests one in favour and one against, and from what Tim's tellin' me BAD. who knew that some animatronics would cause such controversy.

Dick: ... oh wait a minute, have you guys heard about that video game? the five nights and freebies? whatever it's called?

Jason: since when does that matter?

Dick: wally was telling me about it one time, it's about a animatronic pizzeria with animatronic animals that are possessed by ghosts for some reason? I don't know. could that be why the riots are happening?

Tim: … oh fuck, I forgot Gotham is incredibly superstitious.

Jason: WAIT YOUR TELLING ME THEY WERE AFRAID JOKER OR SOMETHING WAS GOING TO DO THE PLOT OF THE VIDEO GAME??

Dick: fuck! I think we are right, wow we are really not good at pop culture.

Jason: I was dead for 15 years I get a pass! But geez, yeah that would do it.

Tim: fuck wait, we didn’t find the animatronics when we were finished with the riot.

Jason: oh fuck no

Dick: NOT AGAIN

Tim: call Bruce we got to go on a mad dash raid on joker. Fuck! THIS!

Dick: wait FUCK THE ANIMATRONICS HAD THE BODIES IN THEM, OH FUCK NO, WE HAVE TO FIND THE KIDS SHIT SHIT SHIT.

Dick, Jason, Tim and duke rally together and frantically search the city for the animatronics or the kids. After a whole hour and forty minutes Bruce gets a message from joker. the batkids grab the kids from the brink Of death, thankfully they were not mortally wounded but it was way too close. And retrieve the animoronics from joker.

Neuvillette x Reader | Mortal Crush ❤️

(A/N) My other readers will be so confused, but since I’m going multifandom… Writing for my main man right now, Neuvillette! It’s pretty short, but it’s just a small freebie.

Reader is not from Fontaine they can be from wherever else though!

Albeit…

The Chief Justice has seen many things, everything pertaining to human life displayed in court. Well, that’s what he thought.

Until you came in the picture, you fascinated him, at first he thought it was a longing for a more genuine and friendly, relationship. Beyond one that’s much more formal and maybe… One-sided, as a person may try to sway him in case any legal issues arise.

However, you were different, not only the fact you weren’t from there. You were not born from the waters as he, nor born from the lands of Fontaine. You were one person he was able to not make an impact on based on status.

He wanted to take his chance to make a connection that was real and not fabricated. Granted, wishes aside, this is a very busy man with a very busy life. He cannot make plans on a whim as anything could come up.

But while on a walk in the town, watched by Clorinde in the shadows. You approach him curiously, yet cautiously, foreign to the area alongside the culture plus etiquette.

“Ah, hello sir?” You slightly raised your voice, “your outfit and hair is amazing!”

His ears almost perked up like a dog’s as he turned to you. But he kept he kept his cool, a small smile edging his lips slightly as he let out a chuckle.

“Ah, thank you… If I may say, your appearance is amazing as well. Say are you new to the Court of Fontaine?” His formal yet smooth voice was pleasant to hear on your ears.

And with that, a conversation that sparked up a new type of chemistry. From a god-like being to a mortal through and through.

It went from Neuvillette walking with you through the Court of Fontaine for a while. To something more, and the people noticed it over time. Each time it was less friendly encounters to more romantic ones.

He was all about subtlety in his woo’s, his tone, his gesture and words. He flirted with you small and shortly.

It was a blink and you miss it kind of thing. Oblivious or not, one day you eventually caught on, realizing it until you were confident enough.

In a tender moment, you kissed him in the middle of a stroll… The feeling of his lips on yours was electrifying. It felt as if the Electro-Archon herself was present.

But in the town filled of lovers for drama…

The busy streets buzzed, whispering, chattering, and gossiping making all sorts of rumors about you and the Chief of Justice even Charlotte of the Steambird chirped in on the sidelines to catch a glimpse for a story!

Neuvillette just like you, did not realize the commotion till it was over. Till Clorinde had to snap both of you back to reality to make affairs more private than in public… Otherwise there might be a more than a few crowds to come…
