Objection to Chief Justice's Comment on Former Judge

In a significant ruling, the Supreme Court of India, led by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud, determined that privately owned property does not qualify as community resources subject to state takeover, with an 8-1 majority. Justice BV Nagarathna, in a concurrent but separate judgment, cautioned against condemning past judges for differing outcomes, emphasizing the need for a nuanced understanding of historical context and evolving socio-economic policies. She referenced a 1977 ruling involving the nationalization of private transport, highlighting that contemporary critiques of past judgments may overlook the constitutional and economic frameworks of their time. While agreeing with the majority's call for a flexible constitutional interpretation, Justice Nagarathna underscored the importance of respecting the judiciary's history, arguing that past judges should not be viewed as having failed their constitutional duties. She advocated for a balanced approach, ensuring the judiciary adapts to modern challenges without discrediting its predecessors. sources

Gangsters Deliver Extortion Note, Fire Shots at Delhi Showroom

In a brazen daylight incident in West Delhi, three armed gangsters stormed a showroom, brandishing firearms and issuing an extortion note demanding ₹10 crore. The audacious act, captured on CCTV, shows the assailants firing multiple rounds into the air to instill fear before calmly exiting the premises. The gang is believed to be associated with the Jitendra Gogi gang, which has ties to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. Although Gogi was killed in 2021, his aide Deepak Boxer now leads the group. The extortion note featured a photograph of Gogi alongside another gangster, Kuldeep Fajja, and named several individuals. Police have registered a case and are investigating the incident, which is seen as a direct challenge to law enforcement, following two other recent firing incidents linked to the gang in Delhi's Nangloi and Alipur. sources

US Elections: Impact of New POTUS on War, Immigration

The upcoming U.S. election is deemed one of the most pivotal in history, with significant global implications. Central to this is the ongoing U.S.-China trade war, initiated by Donald Trump, who imposed tariffs and criticized China's economic practices. The Biden administration continued a tough stance on China, fostering alliances like AUKUS and Quad, which has further polarized the Global West and East. Additionally, the election highlights a deepening emotional and ideological divide within American society, raising concerns about the future of democracy amid rising authoritarianism. There are fears of unrest similar to the January 6 insurrection if Trump loses again, with some Republicans potentially rejecting election results. On immigration, both Trump and Kamala Harris advocate for stricter policies, which could influence global attitudes towards refugees. Finally, the new president's approach to conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza will be crucial, with both candidates offering starkly different strategies. sources

US Election: Trump vs. Harris? Expect Bigger Surprises Ahead

As the U.S. presidential election unfolds, approximately 245 million citizens are eligible to vote, with 160 to 165 million expected to participate. The election's outcome will hinge on the 538 Electoral College votes, primarily influenced by seven swing states, including Pennsylvania and Georgia. Analysts suggest that Donald Trump, despite facing numerous challenges, has maintained strong support, especially among younger voters and minority groups, with many appreciating his outsider status. Conversely, Kamala Harris's campaign focuses on unifying voters, particularly women, and addressing reproductive rights, although she struggles with name recognition and Biden's unpopularity. Polls indicate a tight race, with Harris recently gaining traction in Iowa, a traditionally Republican state. The election remains unpredictable, with the possibility of a crucial electoral vote from Nebraska determining the winner. Pollsters are now reconsidering their forecasts as the race approaches its conclusion. sources

In response, Vangalapudi acknowledged Kalyan's remarks positively, suggesting they encouraged her to take more decisive action against crime. This political turmoil follows a recent horrific incident involving the alleged rape and murder of a four-year-old in Tirupati. sources

Supreme Court: Government Can't Seize All Private Property

In a significant ruling, the Supreme Court of India determined that not all privately owned properties can be deemed community resources eligible for government takeover, with an 8-1 majority from a nine-judge Constitution bench led by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud. The case centered on Article 31C of the Constitution, which protects state laws aimed at fulfilling directive principles, notably Article 39B, which addresses the distribution of community resources. Chief Justice Chandrachud emphasized that while privately owned resources could theoretically qualify, they do not automatically fall under community resources. He outlined that the assessment must consider various factors, including the resource's nature and its community impact. Justice BV Nagarathna, in her separate judgment, disagreed with Chandrachud's critique of past judicial interpretations, advocating for a more contextual understanding of historical rulings amid changing socio-economic policies. Justice Sudhanshu Dhulia dissented. sources
