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."

At Bharat Mandapam in the nation's capital, Modi was giving a speech at the second World Food India event. The final day of the three-day event is November 5. "The food processing industry has received FDI of Rs 50,000 crore over the past nine years. It is the outcome of the government's pro-farmer and pro-industry policies, according to Modi. According to him, the capacity for processing food at home has grown dramatically over the past nine years, and exports of processed food have climbed by 150%.The prime minister launched a "food street" as part of "World Food India 2023" and gave seed cash support to more than a lakh Self Help Groups (SHGs). The celebration of 2023 as the International Year of Millets intends to highlight India as the world's food basket. The international event was not able to be organised in the following years because of the COVID-19 epidemic, which took place during the first edition in 2017. "Seed Capital Assistance" will assist SHGs in increasing their marketable prices through higher-quality manufacturing and better packaging. Union Minister of Food Processing Industries Pashupati Kumar Paras encouraged international businesses to make investments in India in this field during his speech.According to Union Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal, the Modi administration has strengthened the nation's food processing industry and guaranteed the nation's food security. He outlined the development initiatives carried out by the national government over the last nine years. Around 200 cooks will participate in the "Food Street," which showcases regional cuisines and royal culinary legacy, and will include traditional Indian cuisine. Government agencies, business leaders, farmers, entrepreneurs, and other interested parties will have a forum to network, develop alliances, and look into investment opportunities in the agri-food sector through World Food India.

editor November 3, 2023

In both the Rajya Sabha and the Lok Sabha, one speaker discussed Article 370. Why remained silent all the other members and MPs? They had two Lok Sabha representatives. At a public gathering on Thursday, Azad stated, "If they had not had the courage to oppose, they could have just stood up." He asked, "Are they with the BJP or me?"The DPAP chairman boasted that he was a major factor in Congress' victory in Delhi, saying, "It was me who made it possible for Congress to win in Delhi...I brought Congress seats from Delhi to Jammu and Kashmir." Azad went on to say that he had contributed to the Congress' victory in areas controlled by regional parties. "They will prevail in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Chhattisgarh due to the absence of regional parties." But in the areas where regional parties were dominant, I assisted Congress in winning," he remarked. Azad claimed, "Mufti and PDP allowed BJP to come into Jammu and Kashmir," accusing the PDP of forming an alliance with the BJP in the state.The former chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir went on to accuse the PDP, BJP, and NC of sabotaging votes and supporting the BJP. The three of them are together today. They are proficient at manipulating votes.Where are the Doda, Inderwal, Banhal, and Ramman NC MLAs? The BJP is fighting against us with the assistance of the Congress, NCP, and PDP," Azad remarked.

Will do justice with minorities if voted to power: Bukhari

editor November 3, 2023

JAMMU: Syed Muhammed Altaf Bukhari, the head of the Apni Party, declared on Thursday that if his party were elected to power in Jammu and Kashmir, they would treat the minorities fairly. Altaf Bukhari gave the group, headed by Dalbir Singh, the district president of Minority Cell, his word that he would treat Jammu and Kashmir's minorities fairly in terms of their advancement in society, politics, and education. The province president of Jammu Manjit Singh and senior vice president of the Apni Party, Ghulam Hassan Mir, were also present at the meeting with the Apni Party's Minority Cell delegation. The delegation discussed the Sikh community and the preservation of the cultural history of Jammu and Kashmir's minority groups in this meeting, which was a pointless discussion. They reported that, regardless of geographic or religious affiliation, a sizable portion of the population in Jammu and Kashmir spoke Punjabi. During the discussion, the deputation told the head of the Apni Party, "The language is a binding force for the communities and therefore, it must be promoted and recognised as one of the official languages in Jammu and Kashmir." Additionally, they asked for the reservation of two seats in the Legislative Assembly, one in each of the regions of Jammu and Kashmir. Altaf Bukhari reaffirmed his party's commitment to the advancement of minorities in Jammu and Kashmir after listening to them. Regarding the demand for the Punjabi language, he gave the delegation the assurance that it would be taken into consideration and that the Apni Party had it on its agenda. He offered his support, stating that the request for two seats in the Legislative Assembly was legitimate as well. "It should be accepted by granting two Legislative Assembly seats each in Jammu and Kashmir regions to the Sikh community," he stated.

Congress : BJP not ready to face ULB, panchayat polls in J&K

editor November 3, 2023

JAMMU: The Jammu and Kashmir Congress stated on Thursday that the BJP opposes panchayat and urban local body elections to be held in the Union Territory because it is certain to lose these elections. The working president of the Jammu and Kashmir Congress, Raman Bhalla, stated that his party was the one that brought up the subject of OBC reservations in ULBs and panchayats in line with the 73rd and 74th amendments in a letter cum objections to the J&K Chief Electoral Officer on September 13, 2023, demanding reservations to OBCs in addition to holding ULB elections under the State Election Commission (SEC) in accordance with the Constitution. "The BJP in power is terrified of losing any kind of election, including assembly elections, ULB elections, and panchayat polls.Since the LAHC-Kargil elections served as a BJP campaign trailer, they are afraid of losing and hence do not want to have elections. According to the law and the constitution, elections to these bodies had to be held one month before the end of their five-year terms; "While all municipal bodies, including Jammu and Srinagar Municipal Corporations, will complete their term by November 14, the elections should have been conducted and completed by October 15 but it has been delayed and deferred," Bhalla told reporters here. "The real picture will unfold after the Assembly elections and the BJP shall be wiped out in the Jammu region too," he said.Leaders of the JKPCC questioned the recovery of arrears of the abolished Irrigation tax from farmers, citing a case of alleged bureaucratic arbitrariness and "anti-farmer" decisions of the "BJP government-controlled Union Territory administration". However, the PDP-BJP government had abolished this tax (Abhiyana) in the 2015–2016 budget. "What right does the government have to recover the waived off/ abolished tax and even charge future tax when an elected government has abolished the same" , asked the politician.
