Responding to a grievance against its registry for allegedly not following the rules on listing of cases, the Supreme Court said on Wednesday it is “easy to be irresponsible” in making such allegations. It said judges of the top follow discipline in such matters. A bench headed by Chief Justice DY Chandarchud was hearing lawyers mentioning issues with regard to cases arising from a cash-for-job scam in Tamil Nadu being listed before different judges. Senior advocate Dushyant Dave said while the registry of the Supreme Court is working hard and there are rules it is bound to follow on listing of cases arising from the same issue, the cases in the present instance were being placed before two different judges. “Mr Dave, it is always easy to be irresponsible in your allegations against the registry. You have the liberty to criticise everybody under the sun. We as judges of this court have to follow some discipline and I will follow it by looking at the matter in the evening and assign

The Indian Space and Research Organisation (ISRO) will launch two initial missions later this year under the 'Gaganyaan' programme followed by country's maiden human space-flight mission in 2024, Union Minister Jitendra Singh has said. The second part of the 2023 mission will carry a female robot "Vyommitra" to space, the science and technology minister said.

"The then ongoing training of our astronauts in Russia was stopped midway due to the pandemic," he said, adding that they were sent back to complete their training once the situation subsided. "In the second half of this year, two initial missions will be sent under the Gaganyaan programme. One mission will be completely unmanned and a female robot named 'Vyommitra' will

A Romanian court on Tuesday extended the detention of Andrew Tate, the controversial influencer being investigated along with his brother for alleged human trafficking and rape. Tate, 36, and his brother Tristan, 34, were arrested in late December. Their current detention order was to expire next week.

They allegedly coerced women into "forced labour... and pornographic acts" for "substantial financial benefits". As part of the probe, Romanian police raided several properties connected to the Tate brothe

Delhi BJP on Tuesday staged a protest near Congress leader Sonia Gandhi's residence here, demanding an apology over her party spokesperson Pawan Khera's "disgraceful" remark against the late father of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Several BJP leaders and workers, including Delhi BJP working president Virendra Sachdeva, were detained by the police while they were marching towards Sonia Gandhi's residence. Mr Sachdeva, who was leading the protest, said Mr Khera's words reflect the character of the Congress. "The disgraceful words used by Khera show his and Congress' character. He should be removed from Congress and Sonia Gandhi should apologise for his conduct."

The ruling party has accused him of making fun of the prime minister and his late fa

The Congress is giving final touches to certain organisational changes to help party coffers and for leaders to reconnect with workers, ahead of the plenary session in Chhattisgarh's Raipur. The Rs 100 membership fee for state Congress committee delegates, will be hiked to Rs 1,000 per year. Of this, Rs 400 will be a developmental fee and Rs 300 for the party magazine Sandesh. For senior AICC members, the fee will be put at Rs 3,000 and the development fee will be Rs 1,000 per year for five years. The party hopes with this fee hike, workers will be more committed and help the party during these trying times, when there has been a massive funds crunch. The Congress is all set to have elections for the CWC, though there is a strong coterie which is keen to avoid it. Top party sources indicated that the leadership is keen on elections, so leaders do not forget and keep in touch with party workers across the country. Former presidents, former Prime Ministers, leaders of the party i

Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena said today that the recent Kanjhawla hit-and-drag incident and the Shraddha Walkar murder case exhibit a "glaring lacunae" in policing at the field level and urged the senior officers of the force to rectify it. Addressing the DCP conference at the Delhi Police headquarters, Mr Saxena also flagged multiple other issues, including corruption, high-handedness of the police and investigation loopholes. He urged the force to "ensure proactive pre-emptive measures to ensure safety and security at all levels" in view of the forthcoming G-20 Summit. The Delhi Police has received a lot of criticism over the Kanjhawala incident, in which 20-year-old Anjali Singh was killed post-midnight on January 1 after her scooter was hit by a car which dragged her for 13 km. So far, seven people have been arrested in the case. Eleven police personnel, who were on PCR and picket duty on the route, were also suspended. He also cited the data from th
