Top Stories You Shouldn't Miss

One headline that’s sparking conversation is the DGHS’s brief ban on physiotherapists using the "Dr" prefix. The health directorate issued a letter saying the title violated the Indian Medical Degrees Act 1916, then pulled the ban within hours to review it. The move clashed with a new NCAHP curriculum that actually allows the prefix, prompting protests from medical bodies worried about patient confusion and scope‑of‑practice issues. The story is still unfolding, and we’ll keep an eye on how the legal tangle resolves.

Another hot topic is the debate over the presumption of innocence after a trial court’s conviction. A recent article broke down the idea that once a judge says "guilty," the presumption of innocence seems to disappear. It explained how this perception can affect appeals, media coverage, and public opinion. While the principle remains a cornerstone of criminal law, the piece highlighted real‑world challenges when a conviction sticks and the accused tries to rebuild their reputation.
