TWO INTERPRETATIONS of the phrase ‘possession of land’ are being forwarded by the Supreme Court of India – first, that the ‘land’ and the ‘structure’ built over it are two separate entities, and second, that the ‘land’ and the ‘structure’ built over it should be considered one and the same. The second understanding, that ‘land’ includes things embedded in the earth such as scaffoldings for a building, has been a well settled principle of property law for centuries.

Zakia Jafri died on 01 February in Ahmedabad. I never met her. All I know about her is from the newspapers and the mainstream media. However, I have always been inspired by her fight for justice against brutality. She has been a central figure in my classroom discussions, a protagonist who always encouraged one to believe in the virtue of justice-seeking. Her story is an exemplar for an ideal Indian Muslim.

Tehran has put off for now any retaliatory strike for assassination of Hamas' political chief Ismail Haniyeh on Iranian soil, thus giving rise to apprehensions that Israel may escape retribution yet again for excesses it has been committing not just against Palestinians but also Iran, which leads what has come to be regarded as the 'axis of resistance' in the Middle East.

In fact, the entire edifice of economic reporting looks incidental in nature, rather than being deliberate and well thought-out. Have our editors ever deliberated upon such vital matters as how to deal with confirmed and chronic tax evaders?

The one area in which performance of Pakistani media has arguably not been too great is reporting on economic and business matters. One reason is the media’s near-total focus on political issues. Media organisations, in general, are so engaged in ‘ball-to-ball commentary’ of even the minutest of political matters that they often fail to give due importance to even major economic issues. Then there is the issue of communicating to the masses complicated economic concepts in easy-to-understand terms.
