Court: hospitals have the power to control the patient in this manner. Simple thing as a drip line. Rs. 15, price to retailer, selling at Rs. 250. Why is the DPCO in place at all? The government is allowing this to happen. There have been three parliamentary committees on this. And their outcome is not very convenient to people who pull the strings, let us tell you.

#BREAKING on Bar & Bench
Election Commission of India files counter affidavit in Supreme Court on plea against CEC's functioning; says petition built entirely on a single news report
What ECI says:
🔹 Affidavit approved unanimously by all three members: the CEC and both Election Commissioners
🔹 All three SIR orders (June 2025, October 2025, May 2026) were unanimous decisions of the Commission
🔹 Notes, queries or suggestions by the CEC or ECs while a file moves are not decisions of the Commission
🔹 Files go to one EC, then the other EC, then the CEC. In urgent cases, approval is taken electronically and recorded on file later
🔹 Any officer issuing orders beyond delegated powers will face action
🔹 July 28 work allocation order was issued by an Additional Secretary on deputation. Both ECs wrote to the Cabinet Secretary the next day. The order was never implemented after the ECs' joint direction of July 30
🔹 Form 6 has not been amended. Only the Centre can amend it. The SIR declaration is a separate document
🔹 Admits the online display could be read as an amendment. From October 21, the online application will be split into Form 6 and the declaration, as in the physical form
🔹 Unmapped voters need not attend hearings. BLOs will collect documents from their homes. Hearings only in exceptional cases, preferably online
🔹 ECINet: no name is added or deleted except by order of the ERO. A committee with experts from IIT and IISc has been set up to check compliance
🔹 Goa: of 97 "left out" voters, 88 had already been enrolled, 6 were abroad and 3 held Portuguese passports
🔹 West Bengal appeals against inclusion of voters were filed by officers of the CEO, West Bengal, under Supreme Court orders. "These matters were not brought to the Commission"
🔹 Plea to restrain the CEC is not maintainable. CEC can be removed only like a Supreme Court judge
🔹 Commission never released or authorised the release of any internal note or file to the media
🔹 Repeated challenges to EVMs already rejected by the Supreme Court
🔹 Short reply filed due to Dussehra vacation. ECI seeks liberty to file a detailed para-wise response

प्रभु श्रीराम ने गंगा जी को पार करने के लिए केवट से नाव माँगी थी। आज उसी गंगा जी पर नावें बाँध दी जाती हैं — कभी त्योहार पर, कभी मेले पर, कभी वीआईपी आगमन पर, कभी सुरक्षा के नाम पर। जिस दिन घाट पर सबसे ज़्यादा भीड़ होती है, उसी दिन चप्पू रुक जाता है। नाव रुकती है तो चूल्हा रुकता है। सुरक्षा ज़रूरी है, पर रोज़गार भी उतना ही ज़रूरी है। नाव चलेगी तो घर चलेगा।
नीति वही, जहाँ न्याय हो। न्याय वहीं, जहाँ यात्री और रोज़गार दोनों सुरक्षित रहें।
जन से नीति, नीति से भारत।
जननीति भारत — अब होगी सुनवाई।

What a beautiful video.
A mother and calf fell into a water tank. Both were rescued but during rescue the calf got separated from mother. Kurseong division staff brilliantly tracked the mother. It took 7 hours but they reunited them.
Reaction of mother in last !! Gods work.

In a major clash between the Centre and the state, Maharashtra’s Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) Commissioner has approached the Bombay High Court, accusing the Union government and the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) of creating an illegal “parallel system” and "hijacking" the powers of state food safety inspectors.'

My first employee is Indian
He's like a brother to me
He took a chance on us before anyone
We've been trying to meet in-person for 3 years
His visa got rejected for our France trip this summer
(Ok, it's France. My expectations are low for the French government)
But now the US just rejected him for a quick work trip.
I know the government is cracking down on Indian immigrants, but we just wanted to have him out to hang and work for a week and meet the team. This is extremely different.
What's craziest to me:
The US embassy didn't even give him a fair interview. Didn't ask questions, look at docs, or his passports. Even after multiple signed letters by me and working with his lawyers.
He's the most loyal, hardworking, dude I've met and literally only takes days off for meditation retreats (even when I tell him to go get some sleep).
He embodies the American spirit more than many Americans! We'd be a better country to have him even for a week.
This is America.
We take chances on people.
He believed in me when no one else did
I believe in him
Can anyone please help?

DR S. Y. QURAISHI ON SIR: 30 QUESTIONS THE CONSTITUTION, THE LAW AND THE EVIDENCE DEMAND
THE OPENING CONTRADICTION—OR IS IT?
Dear Dr S. Y. Quraishi @DrSYQuraishi,
You correctly describe electoral-roll maintenance as a constitutional responsibility.
You acknowledge the need to remove deceased electors, correct migration-related entries and register newly eligible adults.
Yet you challenge Special Intensive Revision because that precise expression does not appear in the governing legislation.
Since when does the absence of an administrative label automatically invalidate an exercise authorized by a broader statutory provision?
That question deserves a legal answer—not merely a linguistic one.

Hitting below the belt is unbecoming of a former CEC. Disagreement is legitimate; personal insinuations are not. The abrogation of Article 370 is a matter of pride and a national achievement. Constitutional dignity must prevail over political rancour.
How Mr Gyanesh Kumar Was Appointed The Chief Election Commissioner?
“He was not even found fit for the Additional Secretary panel. Later he was also found unfit for the Secretary panel.”
In a wide-ranging interview with me for the London Vārta podcast, former Chief Election Commissioner S.Y. Quraishi turns his attention to the man currently under fire from the opposition in India: Gyanesh Kumar, the serving CEC.
So how did he get the job? Mr Quraishi does not mince his words.
He says: “What is known about this gentleman is that he was very close to Amit Shah. Extremely close—he worked under him in the Home Ministry. He was one of the architects of the removal of Article 370 in Kashmir… Besides that, when the Ram Mandir Trust was being formed, he was the one who set it up.”
“According to reports, he was not even found fit for the Additional Secretary panel. Later he was also found unfit for the Secretary panel. But because he had worked so closely with Amit Shah… pressure was applied… and he was made Secretary in the Ministry of Cooperation, of which Amit Shah was the minister.”
On the formal selection process itself: “In 2023, the selection of the Chief Election Commissioner had to be made… under the new Act the government called three people to consider the names. One was Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He nominated Amit Shah—the person closest to him, his companion—and the Leader of the Opposition. And Gyanesh Kumar was selected.”
The full conversation, covering the Election Commission, the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls, and much more, is on the London Vārta podcast.

#WATCH | Berlin, Germany | Union Minister Piyush Goyal says, "Who's responsible for this mess in the first place? Where did the ozone layer get damaged? Who sent all that carbon into the atmosphere?... I represent 17% of the world's population, but my contribution to global carbon emissions is less than 3%. You (Europe) represent probably 3% or 4% of the world's population, yet your contribution to those carbon emissions—or this mess—is humongous...The problem was caused by you...Even today, as we sit here, my per capita contribution to carbon emissions is probably less than 10% or 15% of yours. Even today, Europe's per capita contribution to carbon emissions—and its per capita environmental impact—is probably seven or eight times that of India...I'm representing 17% of the world's population, and I am more conscious of waste and the circular economy. I also have to meet the needs of 1.4 billion people. I have to meet their energy needs, their food needs, and ensure that my nation remains secure. Despite all of that, we have one of the world's fastest-growing clean energy programmes..."
