Don’t Want SC To Become ‘Tarikh-Pe-Tarikh’ Court: CJI

editor November 3, 2023

NEW DELHI, Nov 3: India's Chief Justice, D Y Chandrachud, asked attorneys not to ask for postponements in new cases on Friday, stating that he does not want the Supreme Court to become into a "tareekh-pe-tareekh" court. The CJI brought up the problem of attorneys requesting adjournments in new cases at the beginning of the day's hearings, stating that in the previous two months, advocates had submitted postponement slips in 3,688 cases. "If not absolutely essential, kindly do not file the adjournment slips.The Chief Justice of India, who shared the bench with Justices J B Pardiwala and Manoj Misra, declared, "I don't want this court to be a 'tareekh-pe-tareekh' court."In the well-known dialogue "Tareekh-pe-Tareekh" (repeated adjournments) from the Bollywood film "Damini," Sunny Deol bemoaned the practise of judicial adjournments. According to the CJI, the time interval between the filing of new matters at the top court and their listing has been greatly shortened thanks to the support of lawyers' associations. But he regretted that after being listed before the benches, attorneys request adjournments, sending a very negative message to the outside world. "I've seen that the time between filing and listing is getting shorter. Without the assistance of the Supreme Court Advocates-on Record Association (SCAORA) and the Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA), we would not have been able to do this, the Chief Justice stated.We have 178 adjournment slips for November 3. The CJI stated, "This defeats the very purpose of expediting the case. Since October, there have been 150 adjournment slips for each miscellaneous day, and from September to October, 3,688 adjournment slips were circulated."

Delhi wakes up to dense haze as air quality turns ‘severe’ at many locations

editor November 3, 2023

NEW DELHI: According to the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), the air quality in a number of Delhi neighbourhoods fell into the "severe" category on Friday morning, with Mundka having the highest Air Quality Index (498). The national capital's skyline was shrouded in a thick cloud as the air quality declined. The AQI was reported at 438 in the Lodhi Road area, 491 in Jahangirpuri, 486 in the RK Puram region, and 473 in IGI Airport (T3), according to the CPCB. The Air Quality Index (AQI) is a technique for effectively and understandably communicating to the public the state of the air quality. It reduces complex data on the quality of the air caused by different pollutants to a single number (the index value), colour, and nomenclature.When the AQI is between 0 and 100, it is considered good; when it is between 100 and 200, it is considered moderate; when it is between 200 and 300, it is considered poor; when it is between 300 and 400, it is said to be very poor; and when it is between 400 and 500 or more, it is said to be severe; this has an influence on both healthy people and those who already have disorders. Additionally, the AQI dropped to the "severe" category at several different Noida locales, with Sectors 62, 1 and 116 recording 483, 413 and 415, respectively. On Thursday, the government of Delhi issued an order closing all public and private elementary schools for the next two days. The Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) activated the third phase of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) on Thursday due to the deteriorating quality of the air. When the AQI falls between 401 and 450 points and reaches Severe, the GRAP moves into Stage III. The state government may impose severe limitations on BS III petrol and BS IV diesel four-wheelers in specific locations as part of its reaction to combat pollution. It may also stop in-person instruction for students in primary grades up to Class 5. Since then, primary school lessons have been suspended by the Delhi government.The subcommittee examined the regional air quality scenario in addition to the IMD and IITM projections for the weather and air quality index. The Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) released an official statement stating that the Delhi government has prohibited construction work throughout the National Capital Region (NCR). The announcement went on to say that exceptions had been granted for projects pertaining to interstate bus terminals, airports, metro services, railway services, defense-related operations, healthcare-related activities, etc.The official statement also stated that the government will guarantee daily watering and dust suppressant application, as well as increase the frequency of automated road sweeping. Drilling and boring as well as other earthmoving operations related to excavation and filling will not be permitted. According to the official announcement, mining, stone crushing, and non-essential construction work have all been banned in the area.

CWC 2023: ‘Miyan Magic’ combined with Shami’s lethal spell powers India to semi-final after 302 run victory against SL

editor November 3, 2023

MUMBAI: Mohammed Shami took the lead to lead India to the World Cup semi-finals following a commanding 302 run victory at the Wankhede Stadium on Thursday, mirroring the thrilling display of Mohammed Siraj in the Asia Cup final. The pace trio has been unbeatable since Shami entered the Indian playing XI, and the batsmen once again gave way to their skill. With the opening delivery, Bumrah sent Pathum Nissanka back for a golden duck, swerving sharply, finding an edge along the way, and hitting the pads just in front of the stumps. Nissanka attempted to use a review to reverse the outcome, but the umpires' call in favour of Bumrah ended Nissanka's night.'Miyaan Magic' enthralled the entire Sri Lankan team in the subsequent over. He sent Dimuth Karunaratne for a golden duck at his first ball in the evening. Karunaratne attempted to flick the ball, but failed miserably, and became trapped in front of the stumps. The next player to fall in the same over was Sadeera Samarawickrama. He attempted to punch the ball in an attempt to release some pressure, but instead he found a thick outside edge that went straight to Shreyas Iyer. On the opening delivery of his second over, he struck again, sending captain Kusal Mendis back for a score of 1(10), rattling his stumps.The umpire hit the famous "Siu" celebration of Cristiano Ronaldo as soon as his finger touched the air. In the flash of an eye, a few overs were over as Charith Asalanka and Angelo Mathew got to work on the repairs. But the middle order fell apart as Shami entered the attack. He removed two wickets in a row in his opening over of the evening, forcing Dushan Hemantha and Charith Asalanka to return to the dugout on opposite balls. With the goal of taking more wickets and ensuring that the Men in Blue won quickly, Shami continued to be an attacking player. KK India moved one step closer to the semi-final position thanks to Rahul's superb decision behind the stumps. It appeared as though Chameera had missed the shot when he attempted to flick the ball. Rahul was the only one to seek for a review after finishing the catch. The ball passed the gloves and the DRS displayed a spike because Rohit chose to believe Rahul's gut feeling. Umpire Chris Brown was even confused by the DRS outcome. By getting beyond Mathews' protection and cutting the stump bails, Shami grabbed his fourth victim of the evening and finished with a score of 12. With the manner that Shami was bowling, another wicket was probably not far off. After four overs, Kasun Rajitha fell for 14(17), ending Shami's chase for a wicket and earning him his second five-for of the 2017 World Cup.With a stunning 302 run victory at the end of the game, Ravindra Jadeja got the last wicket. Earlier in the innings, India amassed a score of 357/8 because to action-packed efforts from Virat Kohli (88), Shreyas Iyer (82) and Shubman Gill (92). Even though Dilshan Madhushanka took five wickets, the Indian squad was still able to score a huge amount of runs. Brief Score: Sri Lanka 55 (Kasun Rajitha 14; Mohammed Shami 5-18, Mohammed Siraj 3-16) against. India 357/8 (Shubman Gill 92, Virat Kohli 88, Dilshan Madushanka 5-80).

Severe air quality alarm in Delhi-NCR amid farm fires surge

editor November 2, 2023

NEW DELHI : On Wednesday, it was 364; on Tuesday, it was 359; on Monday, it was 347; on Sunday, it was 325; on Saturday, it was 304; and on Friday, it was 261. A number of the city's neighbourhoods, including Anand Vihar (413), Mundka (420), Bawana (401), and Punjabi Bagh (416), had air quality reports in the severe category. Six to seven times the acceptable limit of 60 microgrammes per cubic metre of PM2.5, a tiny particulate matter that can enter the respiratory system through deep penetration and cause respiratory issues, was present in these locations. The city administration would not allow building in locations where the air quality index (AQI) is more than 400 for five days in a row, according to Delhi Environment Minister Gopal Rai's announcement on Wednesday. In an effort to reduce vehicle pollution, the government has started "Red Light On Gaadi Off" and wants to hire 1,000 private CNG buses to improve public transport. In nearby Ghaziabad, the AQI was 230; in Faridabad, 324; in Gurugram, 295; in Noida, and 344 in Greater Noida. An AQI of zero to fifty is good, 51 to one hundred satisfactory, 101 to two hundred moderate, 201 to 300 poor, 301 to 400 very poor, and 401 to 500 severe. During the winter, the air quality in the Delhi-NCR reaches dangerous levels due to a combination of unfavourable weather, local sources of pollution, and smoke from firecrackers and burning paddy straw.The Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC) conducted an investigation and found that between November 1 and November 15, when there are more stubble burning occurrences in Punjab and Haryana, the capital experiences peak pollution. The Punjab government wants to do away with stubble burning in six districts—Hoshiarpur, Malerkotla, Pathankot, Rupnagar, SAS Nagar (Mohali), and SBS Nagar—and cut down on farm fires by 50% this winter. About 31 lakh hectares of the state's land are used for paddy production, according to the state's action plan to reduce the burning of paddy straw. It is anticipated that this will produce about 16 million tonnes of non-basmati paddy straw. According to Haryana's estimations, the state's paddy crop covers approximately 14.82 lakh hectares of land. More than 7.3 million tonnes of paddy straw (not basmati) are anticipated as a result of this. This year, the state plans to almost completely eradicate farm fires. The two main causes of the city's present poor air quality are stubble burning (7–16%) and vehicle emissions (11–16%), according to a numerical model-based method created by the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM) in Pune. : On Thursday, a persistent hazy cloud covered the city for the third straight day, putting the air quality in several sections of Delhi in the'severe' category. Scientists have forecast an increase in pollution in the Delhi-NCR region over the next two weeks due to an increase in farm fires and bad weather. Given that the air quality index has already above 400 in several places, this is worrying. According to medical experts, it may exacerbate respiratory issues and asthma in young people and the elderly. At 10 am, the city's Air Quality Index (AQI) was 351.

editor November 2, 2023

SRINAGAR: According to sources, former Director General of Police Dilbag Singh, who retired from service on Tuesday, killed over 1,000 terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir. On September 7, 2018, at a time when there were many difficulties, Singh assumed the role of DGP, earning the distinction of being the J&K police chief with the longest tenure, they said. The Jammu and Kashmir Police successfully overcame a number of obstacles when Singh was in charge, including the restructuring of J&K and the repeal of Article 370. "During his tenure, around 1,055 terrorists were killed, 58 surrendered, and 1,448 terrorist supporters were arrested," according to officials.They also stated that 887 police medals, three Kirti chakras, thirteen Shaurya chakras, and an Ashok chakra were awarded to the force during this time.
