SC to hear plea challenging appointment of woman lawyer as Madras HC judge

The proposal to elevate the woman lawyer, who has been representing the Centre before the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court, has been mired in controversy after reports emerged about her alleged affiliation to the BJP.

In a significant development, the Supreme Court on Monday advanced to February 7 the hearing on a plea challenging the appointment of lawyer Lekshmana Chandra Victoria Gowri as a judge of the Madras High Court, soon after the Centre notified her judgeship.
The apex court had earlier in the day agreed to hear on February 10 the petition against her elevation but the matter was mentioned again and the hearing was fixed for Tuesday by a bench headed by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud which said the collegium has taken note of &ldquo;certain developments&rdquo; after her name was recommended to the Centre.
During the second mention, the bench was apprised by senior advocate Raju Ramachandran that the Centre has notified the appointment of Gowri as an additional judge of the Madras High Court and urged for urgent intervention.

Delhi auto, taxi drivers asked to wear uniform, warned of heavy fines upon violation

Ahead of G20 summit, Delhi auto, taxi drivers asked to mandatorily wear uniform

Every taxi and auto rickshaw is required to obtain the permit to ply on road. The permit is governed with certain conditions, prominent among them is that a person will not drive a vehicle without wearing appropriate uniform as prescribed

Delhi government in an order on Monday asked auto-rickshaw and taxi drivers in the city to wear a uniform while driving, warning them of heavy fines if they fail to comply, and suspension of licence for repeat offenders.
Under section 66 of Motor Vehicle Act, 1988 every taxi and auto rickshaw is required to obtain the permit to ply on road. The permit is governed with certain conditions, prominent among them is that a person will not drive a vehicle without wearing appropriate uniform as prescribed, said an order issued by the Transport department of Delhi government.
The autos and taxi unions said they were ready to follow the order, but also urged the government to lower the Rs 10,000 fine.
A transport official said that initially the focus will be on creating awareness among drivers to wear uniforms as the city&rsquo;s going to host the G20 summit and the government does not want to give a bad impression.
"All the drivers of taxi and auto rickshaw are hereby directed not to drive the vehicle, without wearing prescribed uniform, failing which challan will be issued for violation of permit condition," the Monday order read.
The "habitual offender" may face "stringent action" for not wearing uniform ranging from heavy challan along with either suspension or cancellation of driving licence or registration of vehicle, as deemed fit, it stated.
Wearing of uniforms is also mandatory for drivers of electric passenger vehicles.
Rajinder Soni, general secretary of Delhi Autorickshaw Sangh, said that the uniform will give the drivers an identity.
"However, there should not be a heavy fine, which is Rs 10,000, in case some driver fails to turn up in uniform because of any genuine reason. Presently, the fine amount is not fixed, sometimes drivers are imposed Rs 500 and sometimes the amount is higher," Soni said.
As per the Delhi Motor Vehicle Rules 1993, drivers of auto and taxi need to wear khaki uniform while driving their vehicles. However, around 1995-96, the colour was changed to grey for drivers and white for those who owned and drove their taxis and autos.
The drivers of autos and taxis have no problem wearing uniform but the challan has been a problem, said Chandu Chaurasia, president of Capital Drivers Welfare Association.
"Auto and taxi drivers hardly earn 2,000-4,000 per day. The Rs 10,000 fine is very steep for them," he said.
In 2021, Delhi High Court had sought a response from the Centre and Delhi government on a plea challenging mandatory uniforms for auto and taxi drivers in the city.
It was claimed in the petition filed by a drivers union - Chalak Shakti- that challans up to Rs 20,000 were being imposed on auto-rickshaw and taxi drivers for not wearing uniform. It was also claimed by the petitioners that the law itself was vague and ambiguous on the colour or type of uniforms.
It was not defined whether pant-shirt, Safari suit or Kurta-Pyjama qualified as uniform. Further, there was nothing about the type of fabric, colour and its shade, trims and accessories associated with the uniform, the petition had stated.

Russian envoy admits that ties with India have come under some 'stress'

He said that the mechanism for Rupee-Rouble trade between India and Russia has been established, but added that the Indian banks have been "over-cautious" to use it even though the system is not going to invite any restrictions from the US side.

&nbsp;Russia on Monday said its ties with India are under some "stress" due to the current tectonic geo-political shifts in view of the "arrogant" approach of the US-led West on the Ukraine conflict including its sanction regime against Moscow that caused disruptions in financial and logistics mechanisms.
In his address at a conference, Russian Ambassador to India Denis Alipov also accused the US of "actively" exploiting the "contradictions" between India and China to its advantage and asserted Moscow and New Delhi accumulated mutual trust and confidence based on decades-old ties that would help the two sides to deal with the current geopolitical turbulence.
He said that the mechanism for Rupee-Rouble trade between India and Russia has been established, but added that the Indian banks have been "over-cautious" to use it even though the system is not going to invite any restrictions from the US side.
Alipov also asserted that Moscow will maintain the levels of exports including petroleum products to India notwithstanding the Western price cap on Russian crude oil.
The ambassador said Russia wants to further diversify its relations with India and that bilateral ties are not aimed against anyone but are for meeting the core aspirations of the two nations.
"Today, however, our ties are under stress as we face tectonic geo-political shifts that have been underway for quite some time, but accelerated last year by crossing the red lines in Europe; not by us, but by the so-called collective West led by the US, (which is) by far the most arrogant and belligerent," he said.
Explaining his comments, Alipov said the western sanctions have disrupted the transaction and logistics mechanisms.
"When I spoke about stress, I specifically meant economic relations. The sanctions that interfered... they disrupted the transaction mechanisms and the logistics mechanisms," he said.
"On all these issues, both sides are in very close dialogue. They are very precise and concrete suggestions and a very professional exchange of ideas and proposals from both sides," he said.
On bilateral trade and Western sanctions, he said the Rupee-Rouble mechanism has been established for economic engagement.
"The Vostro accounts have been opened. The mechanism for Rupee-Rouble trade has been established. It is now a matter for the banks to use it," he said.
Alipov said the Indian banks are "over-cautious" to use this Rupee-Rouble mechanism, though it is not going to invite any restrictions from the US. "But that's the fear. The banks would like to be on the safe side. It will take some more time for the knowledge that it is not at all detrimental for the Indian banking system," he added.
The envoy said Moscow wants to expand its economic engagement with Islamabad as a "weak" Pakistan is not good for the entire region including India.
In a tweet later, he clarified that he meant a "destabilised" Pakistan is not in the interest of anyone in the region.
The conference on 'Next Steps in India-Russia Strategic Partnership; Old Friends New Horizons' was organised by the India Writes Network and the Centre for Global India Insights.
Responding to a question, Alipov said Russia would like to see normalisation of India-China relations and that it would hugely benefit the whole world's security and not only Asian security.
"We understand there are very serious impediments to that, a very serious border problem between the two countries. We had a border problem with China, an armed conflict with the Chinese at some stage of the problem, it took us around 40 years to negotiate but ultimately this is the only way to find a solution," he said.
"I am not going to suggest what India or China should do... This is entirely a bilateral matter between India and China and we don't interfere with that.
"But the sooner there is a normalisation between the two countries, the better for the whole world. We will do the utmost to facilitate (that) if our efforts are needed," Alipov said.
Explaining his comments on India-Russia ties coming under "stress", the envoy pointed out the impact of Western sanctions on trade and economic engagement between the two sides.
Alopov said Russia wants to diversify its overall cooperation with India and the ties between the two countries are not directed against anyone.
On Russia's overall ties with India, he said, "Internationally, we have always been on the same page, again something very contrasting with the US approach to India." "Unlike them (the US), we don't need to explain to each other and the world that close partnership between us was not possible in the past for some reason," he said.
Alipov claimed that the approach of the US towards India could change if it finds a new rapprochement with China or New Delhi manages to mend relations with Beijing.
"That, from the US perspective, will be a disaster.
"But from ours, and I believe from India's and China's point of view, it would be the most favourable outcome for the world at large. Any of these scenarios, America's hegemony would suffer," he said.
"That is why it actively exploits the contradictions between India and China to its advantage," he said, adding a new paradigm of democracies versus autocracies is emerging so that the US retains the decisive say amongst its like-minded partners.
Alipov said India and Russia have accumulated a solid experience of "mutual trust, understanding and support" over the last few decades which gives the two sides a sense of confidence in dealing with current geopolitical turbulence.
The ambassador said Russia steadfastly supports India's growing global role and its aspirations to become a permanent member of the UN Security Council.
"India's significance for Russia as a key international partner is clearly going to grow. Much has been done to solidify our unique and multifaceted special and privileged strategic partnership. There is a rich agenda catering to the requirements of global transformation," he said.
The ties between India and Russia remained strong notwithstanding Moscow's invasion of Ukraine. India's import of Russian crude oil has gone up significantly in the last few months despite increasing disquiet over it in many Western countries.
India has not yet condemned the Russian invasion of Ukraine and it has been maintaining that the crisis must be resolved through diplomacy and dialogue.

SC stays Kerala HC order asking lesbian woman to go for gender sensitisation counselling

A bench headed by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud also issued notice to the state government and the parents on the plea by the woman's partner.

The Supreme Court on Monday stayed a Kerala High Court order directing a woman to go for "gender sensitisation counselling" after her lesbian partner alleged that the former was being illegally detained by her parents for having a relationship.
A bench headed by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud also issued notice to the state government and the parents on the plea by the woman's partner.
The bench has sought a report to ascertain the factual situation of the case.
It was hearing a habeas corpus petition by her partner alleging that the woman has been "illegally detained" by her parents at her residence.
"We direct the fourth and fifth respondents (parents of the woman) shall in the interim produce the detenu before the family court at Kollam. They shall arrange for an interview of the detenu with Ms Salina of the Supreme Court E-Committee," it said.
"The officer of this court shall submit a report on whether she is being kept in illegal detention. The statements shall be recorded in a fair manner, without any correction. Report to be submitted in a sealed cover. There shall be a stay of further proceedings before the high court till the next date of listing," it said.
The bench, also comprising justices PS Narasimha and JB Pardiwala, directed the state government and others to file their replies to the petition by February 17.
The petition claimed that the high court had detained and sent the woman back to her family with a direction to send her to a "gender sensitisation" counselling camp.
On the CJI Chandrachud's query about the nature of the relationship between the petitioner and the detainee, the counsel said, "We (both the women) are partners. We are in love." The bench noted that the high court had passed an order requiring a legal services authority official to visit the parents of the detenu to ascertain if she was in illegal detention, but her statement showed that she was not under illegal detention.
The high court then directed that the detenu shall attend counselling session, the apex court bench noted.

Gujarat polls speech: Calcutta HC quashes FIR against actor Paresh Rawal

The court noted that Rawal, who had moved a petition before it seeking quashing of the FIR, has already given clarifications and tendered an apology over the speech in question.

&nbsp;Calcutta High Court on Monday quashed an FIR filed against actor Paresh Rawal by the CPI(M)'s West Bengal unit secretary Mohd Salim who claimed that the Padma Shri awardee had made derogatory comments against the Bengali community. The court noted that Rawal, who had moved a petition before it seeking quashing of the FIR, has already given clarifications and tendered an apology over the speech in question. It said the speech was made in Gujarati and some of the criticisms that have been made against the speech are by persons who may not necessarily understand the language. Considering all aspects of the case, Justice Rajasekhar Mantha quashed the FIR, observing that further continuation of the proceedings was not desirable.
Advocate Varun Chugh, counsel for Rawal, said the FIR was registered with the intention to gain political mileage with ulterior motives.
"It is evident that it is a politically motivated FIR to damage the reputation of a celebrity and public figure like my client," he said. Rawal, a former BJP MP, stated in the petition that his speech delivered in Gujarati on November 29, during a campaign for the Gujarat assembly elections last year, was misinterpreted and mistranslated for political vendetta. He maintained that he has given clarifications on his statement and apologised on December 2, the same date when Salim filed an FIR at Taltala police station in Kolkata.

Will Parliament logjam end? Govt reaches out to Opposition leaders

Several opposition leaders are of the view that it would be better to raise the Adani issue during the discussion on the Motion of Thanks, the sources said, adding that some, however, want the disruption to continue.

After three days of disruptions on the Adani issue, Parliament could begin a discussion on the Motion of Thanks on the President's address from Tuesday as the government reached out to the opposition, sources said.
Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi and Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Arjun Ram Meghwal on Monday held meetings with floor leaders of opposition parties to end the logjam after both Houses were adjourned for the day.
Joshi and Meghwal met floor leaders, including the Congress' Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, the TMC's Sudeep Bandopadhyay and the DMK's TR Baalu, among others.
During the meetings, leaders across party lines were of the view that discussions should be held on the Motion of Thanks on the President's address.
Opposition sources said the chances of Parliament functioning normally on Tuesday to take up a discussion on the Motion of Thanks to the President's address are "bright".
On Monday, opposition parties stalled proceedings for the third consecutive day in both Houses on the Adani Group issue to demand a Joint Parliamentary Committee probe.
Little business has been transacted in either the Lok Sabha or the Rajya Sabha following the presentation of the Union Budget on February 1 due to the opposition's protests over the issue. BJP members have maintained that affairs of private entities cannot be discussed in Parliament and opposition parties can raise the issue during the customary debate on the President's address.
Several opposition leaders are of the view that it would be better to raise the Adani issue during the discussion on the Motion of Thanks, the sources said, adding that some, however, want the disruption to continue.
The government has also been doing its homework on how to respond to the issue while giving its reply on the Motion of Thanks on the President's address, they added.

PM attacks Cong, says HAL was used to target his govt and instigate people

'Congress used HAL to target our govt and instigate people': PM Modi

Modi recalled that he had in 2016 laid the foundation stone of the factory which was inaugurated today, with a resolve that India has to minimise its defence imports and become self-reliant

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday attacked the Congress for "using" the Hindustan Aeronautics Limited as a pretext to level allegations against his government and instigate people.
"Today, HAL's helicopter factory stands as a testimony that has exposed the lies and misinformation spread about HAL", Modi said, without naming the Congress, after inaugurating the Bengaluru-headquartered company's helicopter factory -- the country's largest chopper manufacturing facility -- at Bidarehalla kaval in Gubbi taluk of this district.
&ldquo;The Hindustan Aeronautics Limited was used as a pretext to level allegations against our government. Conspiracies were hatched to instigate people. Today the HAL is advancing our motto of 'Atma Nirbhar Bharat',&rdquo; he said.
The then Congress president Rahul Gandhi had during 2017-18 said there was a need to "defend the dignity of India's defenders" as he accused the Narendra Modi government of "snatching" the Rafale offset contract from HAL and "gifting" it to Anil Ambani's company.

"HAL is India's strategic asset. The future of India's aerospace industry has been destroyed by snatching #Rafale from HAL &amp; gifting it to Anil Ambani," the Congress leader had said.
Rahul Gandhi and his Congress party at the time were attacking the Modi government over the Rs 58,000 crore Rafale fighter jet deal alleging corruption and favouritism.
Modi recalled that he had in 2016 laid the foundation stone of the factory which was inaugurated today, with a resolve that India has to minimise its defence imports and become self-reliant.
"Now, hundreds of defence equipment are manufactured in India", he pointed out.
Hailing the contribution of HAL, he said the investment in the Aerospace sector in the last eight to nine years is five times more than the figure witnessed in the 15-year period before 2014.
HAL plans to produce more than 1,000 helicopters in the range of 3-15 tonnes, with a total business of over Rs four lakh crore over a period of 20 years, at this facility in Gubbi taluk, officials said.
Spread across 615 acres of land, the factory, for which the PM laid the foundation stone in 2016, would initially manufacture Light Utility Helicopters (LUH)).
The factory will enable India to meet its entire requirement of helicopters without import and giving much needed fillip to the Prime Minister&rsquo;s vision of &lsquo;Aatmanirbhar Bharat&rsquo; in helicopter design, development, and manufacture, they said.
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai and senior officials of Ministry of Defence were among those present on the occasion.
"It is a dedicated new greenfield helicopter factory which will enhance India's capacity &amp; ecosystem to build helicopters", Rajnath Singh said.
The Prime Minister unveiled the LUH, which has been flight tested.
He also laid the foundation stone for Tumakuru Industrial Township, and 'Jal Javeen Mission' projects in Tiptur and Chikkanayakanahalli taluks of the district in Karnataka, where Assembly polls are due by May.
The LUH is an indigenously designed and developed 3-ton class, single engine multipurpose utility helicopter. Initially, the factory will produce around 30 helicopters per year and can be enhanced to 60 and then 90 per year in a phased manner, according to the Defence Ministry.
The factory will be augmented to produce other helicopters such as Light Combat Helicopters (LCHs) and Indian Multirole Helicopters (IMRHs). It will also be used for Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul of LCH, LUH, Civil Advanced Light Helicopter (ALH) and IMRH in the future.
Potential exports of civil LUH will also be catered to from this factory, which is being equipped with state-of-the-art Industry 4.0 standard tools and techniques for its operations, officials said.
The proximity of the factory, to the existing HAL facilities in Bengaluru, will boost the aerospace manufacturing ecosystem in the region and support skill &amp; infrastructure development such as schools, colleges and residential areas, it was noted.
With the establishment of facilities like Heli-Runway, Flight Hangar, Final Assembly Hangar, Structure Assembly Hangar, Air Traffic Control and various supporting service facilities, the factory is fully operational, they said.

USA: this 13-yr-old Indian-American is 'World's Brightest Student', again

She also took the Johns Hopkins Center For Talented Youth (CTY) test in Spring 2021, when she was a Grade 5 student.

Indian-American schoolgirl Natasha Perianayagam was named the "world&rsquo;s brightest&rdquo; student for the second consecutive year by the US-based Johns Hopkins Center For Talented Youth, based on the results of above-grade-level tests of over 15,000 students across 76 countries.
Perianayagam, 13, is a student at Florence M Gaudineer Middle School, in New Jersey.
She also took the Johns Hopkins Center For Talented Youth (CTY) test in Spring 2021, when she was a Grade 5 student.
Her results in the verbal and quantitative sections levelled with the 90th percentile of advanced Grade 8 performance, which catapulted her into the honours list that year.
This year, she was honoured for her exceptional performance on the SAT, ACT, School and College Ability Test, or similar assessment taken as part of the CTY Talent Search, the university said in a press release on Monday.
Perianayagam, whose parents hail from Chennai, said she loves doodling and reading JRR Tolkien's novels in her spare time.

CTY used above-grade-level testing to identify advanced students from around the world and provide a clear picture of their academic abilities.
According to the university release, Perianayagam was among the 15,300 students from 76 countries who joined CTY in the 2021-22 Talent Search year.
Less than 27 per cent of those participants qualified for the CTY ceremony, receiving either high or grand honours based on their test scores.
In her latest attempt, Perianayagam scored the highest grades among all candidates.
"This is not just recognition of our students' success on one test, but a salute to their love of discovery and learning, and all the knowledge they have accumulated in their young lives so far," said CTY's executive director Dr. Amy Shelton.
"It is exciting to think about all the ways in which they will use that potential to discover their passions, engage in rewarding and enriching experiences, and achieve remarkable things -- in their communities and in the world," she added.

However, Defence Expenditure is increasing in absolute terms, implying higher spending," the minister said in his response.
