Suo Motu: Remediation of Polluted Rivers

CJI Surya Kant: Is it possible for this court to look at all polluted rivers? We can look at it one by one. We also keep entertaining so many matters and issue directions. .. we also have to see that we entertain matters together. Why to have a multiplicity of issues like this ?Image
CJI: These suo motu proceedings were initiated by this court pursuant to an order in 2021. The original matter dealt with increased level of pollution in Yamuna river...which led this court to take suo motu cognizance of polluting rivers with sewage affluents. This court considered due to contamination of River Yamuna.. it should be the first issue dealt with. Notices were issued to Uttarakhand, Haryana, Himachal, UP and Delhi and Union of India. There is no gainsaid that Right to live in hygienic conditions with human dignity with clean environment is embodied in Article 21.
CJI: Effect of pollution of water on human health drew attention of this court. Under the legislative scheme (water), CPCB and the SPCB were statutorily obligated to take all necessary measures to ensure that sewage affluent is not discharged into rivers unless it is completely treated and will not deteriorate the quality of water.

๐Ÿ˜ฑA simple request just triggered a โ‚น590 CRORE fraud!!! ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

One Haryana government department asked IDFC First Bank to shut its account.
Instead, it exposed one of the most serious governance crises in recent times in the Indian Banking system.

The stock crashed 20%. And the story is still unfolding.
Hereโ€™s what really happened ๐Ÿ‘‡
The department said:
โ€œThis is our balance.โ€

The bankโ€™s system said:
โ€œNo, it isnโ€™t.โ€

That single thing triggered internal checks.

Then more Haryana departments came forward.
More mismatches.
Same branch. Same pattern.
Thatโ€™s when the red flag turned into a siren.
What investigators found:
โ€ข Irregularities linked to Haryana govt accounts
โ€ข Concentrated at this very branch
โ€ข Unauthorised employee activity

Total amount under reconciliation?
โ‚น590 crore.

This is a governance earthquake.

#SupremeCourt to hear petitions assailing the #SIR process in West Bengal

Development: Following SC'sย recent order for deployment of judicial officersย to ensure completion of SIR in WB the Calcutta HC has decided to cancel the leaves of all judicial officers @MamataOfficial Image
CJI Kant: Chief Justice of HC has sent a report. The total human resource deployed is shown. He says there is not much resources.. around 226 retired officers and after adding some more it's 294. Now going by the calculation.. if one officer decides 250 objections.. then it will take 80 days. All servicing civil judges will also be permitted now. That is the way out. Retired officers and serving ones from Odisha and Jharkhand will also be added now.
Sr Adv Kalyan Banerjee: Only NDPS and POCSO court judges have been requisitioned and not the civil judges. If judges from different states come they will not understand Bengali.

CJI: let us go by History. Atleast the states were a part of it at one point of time. So they understand the dialect atleast
