Supreme Court quashes FIRs against CJP protesters; Sept 5 march called off

The Supreme Court on Tuesday invoked Article 142 of the Constitution to quash FIRs against youth protesters over incidents between 20 and 25 July. The Cockroach Janta Party then called off its planned 5 September march.

A bench headed by Chief Justice of India Surya Kant, with Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V. Mohana, said it was acting to do “complete justice” and keep in view the future prospects of the young protesters. FIRs from the July protests in Delhi, Assam, West Bengal, Maharashtra and Bihar are to be treated as closed. The court also barred fresh FIRs for those dates, except that Delhi Police may register a fresh, specific case against 2,873 people identified as having serious criminal antecedents at Jantar Mantar.

CJP co-convener Saurav Das told the court that, given the government’s assurances, the group would withdraw the 5 September march. The court directed the Centre to frame a pan-India compensation policy, including for families of students who died by suicide over the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak, and to complete payments within three months.

Lionel Messi retires from international football

Lionel Messi announced his retirement from international football on Monday, saying it was a decision that “hurt” him but that “the time has come”.

The 39-year-old has scored 125 goals in 207 appearances for Argentina, the country’s record scorer and most-capped player. He captained the side to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. His last game was the 2026 final, a defeat to Spain.

He said he wrote the statement on 21 July, two days after that match. The death of his father, Jorge, earlier this month had left him “even more convinced”. He added that younger players deserved their chance. He continues at club level with Inter Miami.
