1. Rumbling at the Top?
The Chief Justice of India, Dipak Misra set up a five judge bench headed by him after overturning
yesterday's two-judge bench - consisting of Justice Jasti Chelameswar and S Abdul Nazeer - order to hear a case of bribery of judges in which a retired judge of the Orissa High Court, Justice Ishrat Masroor Quddusi, is an accused. The showdown was over the issue of supremacy of constituting a bench in which the authority of the chief justice was undermined as it was asserted that he was the master of the rolls!
It also needs to be understood that Justice Chelameshwar is the senior most judge after the CJI. Sad!
2. BCCI Stands Firm.
Going against a sports ministry directive, the BCCI has made it clear that it shall not allow the government's watchdog, NADA (National Anti Doping Agency) to conduct the tests on Indian cricketers. The reason that it has given are:-
(a) It's not a national sports federation and
(b) It has a robust anti-doping system that's WADA-compliant.
Why does it shy away from being subjected to NADA tests? What is the body afraid of? It needs to come clean on the issue.
3. The Absurdity in Conducting Celebrations.
One is witness to the bizarre celebration of Tipu Sultan's 267th birth anniversary in Karnataka where it has become a Congress party sponsored affair while the BJP and the right wing parties oppose it. While the Congress terms him a patriot who has done a lot for the region, the BJP perceives him to be anti-Hindu and a perpetrator of forcible conversions!
Why are political differences brought on to the streets? How can the celebrations take off when the people are divided right across the middle about its relevance?
Tailpiece.
The streamlining of the GST goes on in full swing. I suppose it's coming round to an all quarter acceptance! The earlier, the better for the country!!
