Hublikar had sought an in-house inquiry against Justice Gogoi, who has since retired, for dismissing a plea related to a service dispute.

"I completed my LLB and LLM . Justice Gogoi unwarrantedly interfered in a judgment. He has made my life miserable by interfering in order passed in my favour regarding my illegal termination," he submitted before the Court today.

The Court, however, was not inclined to entertain the plea.

"We are going to impose cost. Don't take any name of the judge. There is nothing in your case," the Bench said.

"Nothing? How can it be said? It is injustice against me. At least I should get justice before my death," Hublikar replied.

Amit Shah Authorised Attacks' in Canada, Washington Post Cites Canadian Officials As Alleging

Canadian officials have told the Indian government that “conversations and texts among Indian diplomats” ordered out of the country yesterday “include references” to Union home minister Amit Shah and a senior official in the Research and Analysis Wing in India “who have authorised… intelligence-gathering missions and attacks on Sikh separatists,” in Canada, the Washington Post reported late last night.

Retired Indian diplomats have expressed surprise at the possibility of a cabinet minister getting involved in 'operational matters'. On its part, the Canadian side seems even more sure of its case than before with Trudeau now speaking of "clear and compelling evidence".

Strict GRAP rules implemented to control pollution in NCR

To reduce pollution, the Delhi government is working on a 21-point Winter Action Plan, and the first phase of GRAP has been implemented from yesterday. Pollution in Delhi is not only local, but the pollution coming from the neighbouring states also becomes a big problem for the people of Delhi. Therefore, to control pollution, it is very important to ensure strict compliance of GRAP rules in the entire NCR.

I request all the BJP-ruled states neighbouring Delhi to hold a meeting as soon as possible to control pollution and strictly implement the GRAP rules. While the incidents of stubble burning are decreasing in Punjab, the incidents of stubble burning are continuously increasing in the BJP ruled states neighbouring Delhi.

"This outstanding amount is our right... Jharkhand is not asking for a special budget. We are just asking for our rights—which we will take under all circumstances," Soren posted on X, sharing the open letter to the PM.

"In spite of provisions in the law and judicial pronouncements, coal companies are not making any payment... These questions have been raised at various forums, including your kind office, Finance Ministry and NITI Aayog. But till now this compensation (Rs 1.36 lakh crore) has not yet been paid," he said.

A recent ruling by a nine-judge Supreme Court bench affirmed the state's right to collect its mining and royalty dues.

Soren pointed out that Jharkhand's underdevelopment is hampering essential socio-economic projects due to these dues.

"The State of Jharkhand is an under-developed state and there are lots of social economic development projects which are getting hampered due to non-payment of our justifiable demands," Soren wrote.

Last month, he suggested a direct debit of the owed amount from Coal India's account to the state from the Reserve Bank of India, similar to the arrangements made for Jharkhand State Electricity Board dues to the DVC.

"This delay in payment of the just demand raised by the state has constrained me to write to you that this negligence is causing irreparable damage to Jharkhand and its people. Various social sector schemes in Education, Health, Women & Child Development, Clean Drinking Water & last mile connectivity are unable to be translated on the ground because of lack of funds," Soren said.

Earlier, he accused the central government of indifference to the state's plight, highlighting the disparity in treatment regarding dues. "If state-run power companies delay payments, we face 12 per cent interest and direct debits, yet coal companies' dues remain unpaid," he remarked.

"This difference in policy between dues which are 'payable by us' and dues that are 'payable to us' shows a dichotomy and is arbitrary, to say the least, which puts the state in a very disadvantaged position," he had said.

Soren previously stated on X, "When you demand the rights of Jharkhandis, they put you in jail. But, to get our rights, we will go for any sacrifice. We are not asking for special status like BJP-ruled states, nor are we asking for a bigger share of the Union budget like some states. Just give us our rights, that's our demand." He stressed that the people of Jharkhand want justice, not privileges, and that they will use the outstanding amount to drive sustainable development.

The Election Commission (EC) is scheduled to announce the dates for the Maharashtra and Jharkhand assembly polls at a press conference at 3.30pm. The current term of the Maharashtra assembly ends on November 26, while Jharkhand's assembly term concludes on January 5 next year.

Over 400,000 children in #Lebanon displaced in 3 weeks by war: @UNICEF

More than 400,000 children in Lebanon have been displaced in the past three weeks, a top official with the U.N. children's agency said Monday, warning of a “lost generation” in the small country grappling with multiple crises and now in the middle of war.

Researchers in Calcutta and Mumbai who evaluated vulnerability levels and the resilience capacity of 1,061 villages in Bengal’s Sunderbans have placed 128 (12 per cent) villages in “very high vulnerability” and 324 (31 per cent) villages in “high vulnerability” categories.

They took into account potential exposure to cyclones, flood inundation, storm surges and proximity to drainage channels, population density and socio-economic factors, including assets and the presence of concrete houses to assess villages’ vulnerability and resilience.

The recently released Annual Report of the latest Period Labour Force Survey (2023-24) shows a continuation in the trend of increasing labour force participation rates (LFPR) and worker population ratios (WPRs) and decreasing unemployment rates (UR) observed since the first PLFS conducted in 2017-18.

All India LFPR for those above 15 years of age has increased from 49.8% in 2017-18 to 60.1% in 2023-24, WPR from 46.8% to 58.2% and URs have reduced from 6% to 3.2%.

Further, cultural norms placing restrictions on women’s mobility, increasing household responsibilities and burden of unpaid domestic and care work have also been discussed. Demand side factors related to fewer women being absorbed in agriculture and unavailability of jobs in the non-farm sector for women is also an important factor.

On September 25, 2014, the newly elected Union government initiated the Make in India (MI) policy with two objectives: (i) to raise the manufacturing sector’s share in GDP to 25% (from 14%-15%), and (ii) to create 100 million additional industrial jobs (from about 60 million) by 2025. The policy was similar to the New Manufacturing Policy 2012, formulated but not implemented. The policy context: though India’s annual real (net of inflation) GDP growth rate had accelerated to 7%-8% during the previous decade with rising export share, especially during 2003-08, manufacturing sector performance was modest, with increasing net imports and modest employment expansion.

Ten years on, what are the policy outcomes? According to the National Accounts Statistics (NAS), the manufacturing real gross value added (GVA) growth rate has slowed down from 8.1 during 2001-12 to 5.5% during 2012-23..
