What happened
The Hindu reports that Amit Shah said the process from FIR to Supreme Court disposal would take three years after full implementation of the new criminal laws. This is his stated objective, not evidence of a currently enforceable three-year deadline for every case.
Why it matters
Faster case disposal could reduce uncertainty for people and businesses. Whether that ambition is realised depends on implementation across police, prosecution and courts, rather than the announcement alone.
Bigger picture
The reforms seek to modernise criminal justice. Earlier official statements also describe three-year justice as an objective and refer to work with the Supreme Court and High Courts on reducing pending cases.
Watch next
Watch implementation guidance and measured disposal times. Those would show whether the stated target is being achieved.

What happened
UAE prosecutors classified a Flydubai co-pilot's in-flight axe attack on the captain as an attempted act of terrorism. The Omani co-pilot, previously flagged for extreme views, attacked two and a half hours into the flight, causing the plane to plunge over 17,000 feet before crew and passengers overpowered him.
Why it matters
The incident prompted flight suspensions and immediate security reviews. Security agencies in India are reassessing passenger screening procedures, cockpit access protocols, and in-flight countermeasures to address vulnerabilities exposed when a flagged crew member accessed lethal equipment.
Bigger picture
The attack highlights systemic insider-threat vulnerabilities in commercial aviation, forcing regulators and airlines to re-evaluate crew background vetting, personnel monitoring, and flight deck access controls globally.
Watch next
Watch for official findings from UAE prosecutors, decisions regarding flight suspensions, and formal announcements on revised security SOPs from aviation authorities.
