The court held that the report did not contain specific statements promoting enmity between communities and said continuing the proceedings would amount to an abuse of the legal process, Alt News reported.    

Tuesday, 10 November 2026 #1  ·  Times City / Let Delhi Breathe  ·  Data story / Investigative Data blackout: Likely Diwali AQI much higher than 370 By Amit Bhattacharya   ·   The Times of India  ·  Page Page 2 A forensic analysis of CPCB's hourly station-level data shows that 43 of Delhi's 59 monitoring stations reported missing data during peak pollution hours on Diwali night, with 12 stations going dark for nine or more hours — enough to be excluded from the citywide average.

The analysis establishes that outages were concentrated precisely when air quality was at its worst, and that stations were still recording AQI 500 when transmission resumed, making the interruption pattern statistically improbable as

Meta has paused proposed changes to its commercial terms following opposition from news publishers and regulatory scrutiny over whether the company could collect content from independently owned websites without separate consent or compensation. The changes, originally scheduled for October 30, would have allowed Meta to use automated tools to access content from websites associated with businesses using its platforms.

The backlash led to complaints before European and UK competition authorities. On October 30, the UK's Competition and Markets Authority launched an investigation into whether Meta was imposing unfair trading conditions on businesses dependent on its services. A Norwegian court also issued an interim injunction protecting ten publishers against the proposed terms. After initially postponing implementation to Nove
