Supreme Court

Expressing dissatisfaction with the situation in Punjab, the court warned against undermining democratic principles and traditions.

According to the court, one of the main causes of Delhi's annual sharp increase in air pollution is the burning of agricultural leftovers in the neighboring states of Punjab and Haryana.

Three high court chief justices have been recommended for appointment as judges of the highest court by the Supreme Court collegium, which is chaired by Chief Justice of India D Y Chandrachud.

A bench headed by Chief Justice of India (CJI) Dhananjaya Y Chandrachud said, “The cut off was applied arbitrarily in the present case to ostensibly equate the women officers to their male counterparts.”

Back in the real world, repeated postponing of cases, whether by the Supreme Court, any High Court, or lower courts, delays justice and adds to the workload of a stressed judiciary.

During the hearing, it was suggested that Mr. Chadha would seek an appointment and apologize on record, which the Rajya Sabha Chairman should consider sympathetically.

The government is seeking the court's intervention to compel the Governor to promptly clear the backlog of eight bills, three of which have been pending for over two years.

The court pointed out that while the government argues for anonymous donations to prevent a return to black money in political funding, the scheme provides only partial confidentiality and does not offer complete anonymity.

Venkataramani contended that the scheme's confidentiality benefits the contributors, promotes clean money, and ensures compliance with tax obligations, thus not violating any existing rights.

Justice Sanjiv Khanna and Justice SVN Bhatti, constituting a two-judge bench, were responsible for this decision, highlighting the doubts regarding the ₹338 crore transfer in their analysis.
