The federal government has finally moved the much-anticipated intra-court appeal (ICA) against the Supreme Court`s majority judgement, declaring amendments to the antigraft law illegal.

India`s top court refused on Tuesday to legalise same-sex marriages but said the country had a duty to acknowledge LGBTQ relationships and to protect them from discrimination.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi`s government has opposed moves to legally codify same-sex partnerships in the five years since the Supreme Court struck down colonial-era laws banning gay sex.
Lawyers for several same-sex couples urged the court earlier this year to grant their relationships full legal recognition, but the five-member bench ruled that extending marriage equality was a parliamentary decision

In 34 matches since Pakistan first entered qualifying for the FIFA World Cup back in 1989, they had failed to win a single game. That`s why it meant so much. For the players, who sank to the ground in tears at the final whistle. For the fans, who had gathered on a damp afternoon at the Jinnah Stadium on Tuesday to cheer them on
