Supreme Court's new term kicks off with blockbuster climate change case

The US Supreme Court's new term has begun with a significant climate change case. The case revolves around whether local governments can hold large energy companies accountable for the local impacts of climate change. This case has implications that extend beyond climate change.

In a separate development, a sessions court in Lahore has extended the interim pre-arrest bail of a female suspect in a gang-rape case involving an Azeri woman. The suspect, one of two women accused of facilitating the alleged crime, had her bail extended until October 13. According to the complainant's statement, she had met the two women before the men accused of raping her gathered at an apartment. Two of the three men accused have been apprehended and sent on a six-day physical remand.

The Supreme Court has also made remarks on a separate case, emphasizing the need to create fear in the minds of those who commit crimes against women. The court noted that there is a feeling of insecurity among women in the city, particularly in vulnerable areas. The justices stressed the importance of preventing crimes rather than just reacting to them after they occur.
